Hi all, I've searched this topic on this section of the forum already with regards to my question, and there was a common consensus about having external reasons to get out of bed in the morning, e.g. you have a job to go to, or an early morning appointment. My situation is a little different...

Hi @WillyKat the study is a psychological one, but there are major implications for public policy too!

Hey Saelben! I know it must seem pretty scary, or even intrusive with the school psychologists getting involved, but really this is a great step. I also think you took a big step in allowing yourself to go into detail about how you are affected/feel/symptoms with your school psych. I'm proud of...

@Whirlwind thank you for taking the time to answer my post, I really appreciate your thoughtfulness and insight. I wish I could PM you the ranges from my results, but a receptionist gave me my results over the phone, they don't read out the values just whether they come back positive or...

@EveHarrington I'm glad it made you smile, and I'll let him know you said hi :)

I know I'm nearly 2 years late but I swing between the two. I found this thread whilst looking for a thread about finding ways to get organised. Anyway, I have always been quite organised. When I'm having a bit of a rough time things slip. I find it really hard to get on top of everything. Then...

Hi All, I don't tend to hoard things, I'm the opposite. I like to get rid of things. It kind of follows a pattern, when mentally things aren't going great, I let things slide and then I get rid of everything. I think its also partly because I have moved around a lot, and having a lot of stuff...

@stenni the first time it happened I had an MRI that came back clear and nerve conduction tests that came back clear too. I also had a lumbar puncture, but the neurologist couldn't get any fluid because the needle hit my spinal chord (words can't describe how bad it was, makes me feel awful just...

@Riot Yeah, I find it really hard to take it easy. I want to be able to do the things I was able to do before, and I've always just pushed through things. I know its not always the best approach but I just feel like I'm always fighting to survive.

Morning all, I'll start from the beginning: about 9-11 months ago I was walking to university and suddenly I got tingling in my arms and legs. My GP told me to get to hospital because those symptoms were very worrying. A&E didn't think much of it. This too-ing and fro-ing from GP and hospital...

I bought hot chocolates for my two friends today. It was to say thank you for looking after me and feeding me pan cakes yesterday :)

Well its the first round of data collection at the moment, so hopefully I'll find some interesting stuff soon!

Hi Saelben, My topic is investigating whether the number of children receiving free school meals (an indicator of child poverty) effects how well a behavioural intervention works in the classroom.

Hey, I've just joined up to myPTSD. I'm looking forward to talking to people who understand the symptoms and feelings I experience, because it can get a bit lonely being the only person I know with the issues that I do. I'm seeing a counsellor, who is great, and I have two really good friends...
