Boring rant

I do think you could use a break from university, even if for a short while. I'm not sure exactly but that's what I'm leaning towards. Maybe talk some more to your dad about it and see if you can change his mind.

I know change won't come all of a sudden, but I feel I'm going backwards, and full speed.

I'm a classic romantic, I guess I want to live in a fairy tale that will never happen and so I can't live in such a sad world like this. My view of the world is often seen as immature, like I know nothing. Maybe I don't, but I still want to believe love is not dead, though too many people have been trying really hard to prove me wrong. I just don't expect anything anymore, maybe that's why I don't find a reason to live.

No, love is not dead because look at what you feel and how much you care about others, you have a heart full. Maybe others manipulate it and misuse the word but it's out in the world. All I can send is my words,hope and wishes. Maybe your moment is right and there is a reason.

I'm sorry to hear this MrJones.::(:
I agree with Feathers that there is a possibility that these feelings might be caused by your meds.Maybe you could try discussing ways on quitting the meds with your doctor and focusing on a healthy lifestyle that might improve your energy levels and mental stamina?Or with the help of your doctor figure out what might be causing your panic attacks and possibly your fatigue?
Whatever it is that's making you feel like this I hope you overcome it very soon.

Thanks everyone for the replies.

Today I had group therapy, but instead I talked to my psychologist (she's one of the 3 therapists who work in that group) and I told her that I think my last panic attacks (besides the one the day after the drinking) were about how much of a failure I felt at class, and then I told her about the suicide attempt. They said they couldn't let me go if I don't have a new diagnosis (to prove I wouldn't do it again?) and they made me call my mother (at home, dad was working) to come and take me home after it. She came half crying, she was mad at me and my sister came as well, she barely talked to me. My father doesn't know yet, he will know when he comes home, let's hope it goes well.

oh gosh - I thought they were supposed to handle these things privately and with a bit more 'class'/discretion? Aren't you 'of an age' - thought there is client - doctor/therapist privacy??
Maybe they've had bad experiences and have such a policy now? It probably depends from country to country.... I thought they would just give you more counselling or such?
Did you discuss the meds at all?

Sorry to hear mum and sis didn't take it well, it was probably a shock to them... Hope your father will deal allright with it... My dad has felt suicidal at times in the past (and a friend's too expressed it openly) so I think he could understand such things... Maybe you'll find out there were other relatives with these/similar problems? (You could ask?)
I think it's not such a big deal (I mean it is and it isn't, of course), many famous people have felt the same or similar at times... (Almost all German famous writers either contemplated or tried suicide at a time!!) Some people later became very successful etc.

I hope they will be able to be supportive, maybe they could read some websites with articles? Did the counsellor talk to them or give them any brochures to read?
