Badbuz

hello, what part of the island are you from?

Nope but it shall be watched within the next 24 hours! God how i love d'interweb!

Good stuff - I'm sure you'll be glad you did it in the end anyway. Just picture everyone as midget-clowns with squeaky voices and you'll be grand! Yeh i prolly wouldve left after a second and felt guilty for abandoning my friend if i did go so its all good! I'm propa busy today - packing like a mad yoke n cleanin' the stares before the wicked witch of the midwest returns... oh feck - she came back just as i said that! :-\ Lookin' for somethin' to do eh? Watch Awake!

Nah, was half considerin' it but i was wrecked and knew I'd be dragged up dancin' - which never happens without mass amounts of alcohol. I made a wise decision. Lemme know how tomorrow goes - sure if you get too nervous just faint or somethin'!

Good luck tomorra!!

so u have to wait another week. unreal !!! i have nt been called yet, she said she ll send me out a letter to let me know when its starting. she said before the end of the month. hopefully i ll find out dis week!!

do you know how you got it ?? i tink half the cause of mine was self inflicted, the other half i cud nt do **** about!

hi buz, im grand. tx. ur starting the 21st !! let us no how ya get on with dat! ive had SA for about 3 or 4 years i tink. how long have u had it ??

alright buz, hows it goin. i went to that meeting with me therapist wednes morning. i ll be doin the anxiety treatment classes near the end of the month. they ll go on for 8 weeks (i find it hard to believe that 8 weeks of anxiety classes can fix years of damage but i ll give it ago.) any news on when u start yours?

I've a better idea - don't know how i never thought of it before - I'm gonna ring the HSE tomorrow and ask if there's any CBT therapists in Limerick! Better be covered by the medical card though 'cause it'd cost about 75 per 50min session every week if it isn't! Steep or wha?!!

Cant remember if i replied or not! I'm in another world this week! Nahh no news from the doctor.. He's still avoiding me! I'll try ringing him again tomorrow. I need this soooo much!
Will ya let me know how the anxiety management classes go? I'm tryin to get a referral for those too and im hoping it helps!

thanx for accepting m8 !!

at the moment im in nui doin the access course doin legal studies philosophy sociology and history in it so i hope to start my arts degree nxt year.i looked horrible wen i fell cus i slipped everytime i tryed to stand so i slid on the ground over to some grass lol.what do you do in college.do you know if the counsellors in nui are anygud iv been meaning to go and check it out.i got into an anxiety management group that starts the end of this month so fingers crossed it might give me a a small improvement

Haha I know, that guy on the forum was so strange, it was funny more than anything!! Oh well. I'm the same with my class in college! Because I deferred my year aswell when I was in 3rd year because of my anxiety, so last year I went back to a completely new class, and I've hardly talked to any of them, even though we have to do group assignments and stuff. I'm definitely guna try and do that this semester though, at least talk to them before and after class. It's just so awkward trying to talk to people who are all friends with each other already, grr
I didn't know you lived in Newcastle! I live in Bushypark just out past ya! So I'm the same with it being easy for me to get to college. I did do an amazing ninja move yesterday on the ice to stop myself falling, haven't slipped yet, I have no idea how though cos I'm usually really clumsy!
What are you doing in college by the way? Are you in NUI?

Hi! So it looks like it's properly cancelled now. I think it's for the best, it'd be better if everyone could get here without loads of hassle!

How have you been getting on at college? I don't know about you, but it was presentations and exams that I've had problems with. Lectures weren't too bad, because I was either in big halls where no-one noticed me, or in small classes where there weren't many people so I wasn't too self-conscious. What made the difference for me was telling people about it. I told my department, and now I do my exams with the disability office, you're just in a smaller classroom, this christmas it was only 6 people lol! And I told all my lecturers about it so they allowed me just to give presentations to the people who were marking it, which was 4 people at the most, it was great!

I don't know if that's advice or anything, it's just really made everything much easier for me. Hopefully I'll see you in the next few weeks anyways, yay excited

I dunno! It seems like it would be best if it was. What do you think? I don't want to just decide for everyone that it's not on tomorrow, but at least one person out of the five of us won't be able to make it, and probably one or two more, and people are going to have to walk from town in the snow and all that. So maybe twould be better to do it in another week or two, what do you think?

Hey! I'm not too bad, how're you?

But youre goin! the more the merrier. Will feel comforting that were all in the same boat like!

alls good here although im lifethreateningly hungover! Howz things wiv you?

You're goin' to the thing in Jan! End of story!

Hey, I hope all is well with you. Especially around the holidays! Hopefully you are doing better than the last time you sent me a message... I am doing a bit better. I have been talking to an online counsellor and will be going to one in person at my university in the new year. How did the rest of your semester at school go? I guess if you need the valium to go on leading a somewhat normal life for awhile, that is okay... just don't get too dependent on them! I take a few ativan with me everywhere I go. Just knowing that I have it in case something goes wrong is enough to keep me from panicking most of the time. Anyway, take care!
