haha i thought that was u!! ya ours is tiny too. 350 people BARELY. But still, im not used to walking around the halls. its hard to explain that.

Ya the bullies seemed to have affected u really badly. What u studying at college? i actually have no idea what ill do after school. im shittin myself about that like!!

Hey dude. I'm up in Cavan. That photo reminds me of Jack white

Aww sorry u were bullied but just sometimes people do horrible things just for the sake of it. But i dunno really. Ya god ty really sudnt be compulsory in our school but it is!! hopefully 5th yr will be better for me. Are u at college now or wat? u look sorta young

hi mate !! just feeling a little weird about something but other then that im ok!!!!

Ahh i've had "sa" for so long now. Since i was 11 and its just gotten worse since then. I just avoid going anywhere like. What about you? And also i dunno if you did transition year in secondary school, but ive just done it and i really struggled with it. I couldnt handle it like. So im sorta regretting that i didnt try enough aswell.

well ive had it about 2years now its a killer. i avoid all social situations. staying in the house seems to be the only thing that keeps me sane.

hey,thanks for the add yeah a good few here now. im from westmeath. how long have you had SA?

Hello! Well, at least you'll be a bit more motivated now that it's been like winter the last few days, haha! This rain sucks. But I hate when it's hot. I'm so fussy
You have so many exams! I'll only be doing one subject for final year, I'm doing pharmacology. Last year I did anatomy and pharmacology last year so I just had decide between those two, and I think anatomy was a lot more based on microscope work which didn't sound as interesting. Also cos I love pharmacology, I think it's always been my favourite subject since I started doing it. So what are the subjects you're doing? Or is your first year just like a normal science degree in first year, like with just physics and chem and biology?
How are you doing these days?

Hi I just noticed your comment below in response to mine from a long time ago. So you're from Ireland? That's great, I want to visit Ireland when I go to Europe next year. So far I have a huge list of places i'm visiting and people from this site I am meeting, haha. I live in Canada, lots of space, but i'm bored of it. Have you ever been here?
What are you up to today? Hope you're well. Call me Amie.

I think I added you to facebook, but then I freaked out and deleted it. ::
Sorry, I didn't really get to talk to you. How are you?

Hi! That's cool that you get to go in to Galway a good bit...I feel isolated sometimes too, even though town is only 10 minutes away, but one of my old friends just finished her masters, and she texted me saying sorry she hadn't been in touch much so we've been hanging out which is brilliant. The weather has been so nice aswell, it's mad isn't it?

It must be hard to get motivated for the exams again! Especially since you're only in college to study, not to go to lectures and stuff! I'm sure you'll do great since you won't have to be really anxious about it! You'll do great

I'd love to move out next year but I have no money. Two of my old friends that moved away a few years ago are coming back to go back to college and it would be so cool to challenge myself and move out but I've no money and no job so that sucks :: Maybe I'll win the lotto! How many exams to you have? I'm guna go try and go for a walk now, eek! Talk to you soon

Hi, that's totally fine about the late reply, I haven't been logging in much lately either. I'm getting over my bad relapse at last, it's the depression that was hard to get over this time! Anyways, I got my results last week and I passed, I'm so happy! I actually failed one of the exams because I missed loads of the labs and the practical exam, so I only ended up getting 37% in that exam, but with the average of my semester 1 result from before I deferred the year I actually passed, and I passed my other two subjects, so I'm so relieved! Now I'm in final year
How are you doing? Are you feeling better about the exams now that you can do them in the smaller rooms and such? Are you back home for the summer or are you still up in your rented house? It's my 21st in a few weeks so I'm guna try and go out for that, scary!
Anyways, hope you're doing well David

Hey david! How did the exams go in the end? Did you do any more or just defer them all til August? Hope you're feeling ok

David - I'm from Salthill - my house is in Athenry.
Have been on and off this site for a few years now.
And still phobic....20 years......man.......what a life!
How long have you been under?

Hey david! Sorry I didn't reply to your message for ages. I wasn't really on the forum for a week or two. I just went on for a few minutes for a look around and then went off again. I've been trying to study but it's been really hard cos I've been pretty depressed and I had a bit of a relapse with my agoraphobia, so that's a bit annoying! I was out this morning and it was ok so hopefully I'll get in to college to do some study, get used to being in and such!
You have so many exams! Hope study's going well I haven't gotten much done the last few days but it's grand, I'm not behind on it yet. I was the exact same in first year, I didn't like most of my subjects actually! I wanted to do stuff about the human body like I am now, but 1st year was just biology, chemistry and physics, and the biology was botany and zoology, so I basically hated all of it! But second year was SO much better, I'm glad I got through it, ha!
How have you been the last while? Hope you're good!

O its no problem. I am good thanks. I am from Galway in Ireland. Where are you from?

I suck at replying, i'm sorry!

I am OK thanks, a little tired and my day could be better. How are you? Where are you from?

Hey David. It's nice to meet you too.

Hi! Good luck in your exams aswell! I only have three and they're fairly spaced apart, so that's great...you probably have more than three do you? I'm finished on May 8th, I can't wait, it'll be such a relief to have the semester over!
Hope you're having a good week!

Hi! Yeah, doing the exams in the smaller rooms is great for me because I used to have terrible panic about doing exams in the big halls, I'd be obsessing about it for weeks, about how far from the door I'd be, how many people would be there...and it always seemed to happen that I was really really far from the door, it was horrible! So I'd have to sit there for two hours while panicking and also try and do an exam, haha! Not fun As long as you give a doctor's cert in to the disability office they let you do your exams there, so that's good for if you ever do get too panicked about it.
Yeah, I had to do one presentation this year to my class, and I had to do one in 2nd year because I was doing biomedical science (I changed over to undenominated after 2nd year), and I'll have to do a few more next year, eek! My aim is to try to do them in front of the class, so I'm aiming to get better enough to be able to attempt some public speaking...
Hope you're having a good weekend
