Thanks ^^ 

I'm getting through the day, so I guess it's okay. Not too great, but it's been a lot worse  

Uni's stressing me out and I'm in the middle of my exams at the moment, which sucks, but then I'll have finished with my first year at least ^^ 

How're you? <3

Okay is better than horrible, so that's good at least. I hope it will keep getting better and become good for you. How many years are you going to uni?

I've been struggling a lot lately. I've had to jump from place to place and might end up in a homeless shelter. It's been a difficult time lately. I've gotten on some meds now that are making it easier though, as much as possible.

I hope it will get better for you soon. That must be so hard! I can't imagine not having my flat, especially considering that I cannot cope with the thought of leaving my little sanctuary at all most days. It interferes a load with uni and every other aspect of my life, but compared to not having my own space that's a lot better. I really wish I could help you  

Yes, the right meds do help a bit. I'm lucky to have found some that agree with me, even though my psychiatrist keeps wanting to try out new ones, because the ones I've got don't seem to be enough. Most of them don't help though and only make me gain even more weight, so we're still looking. It's great that you've found ones that help you though  

I've just finished my first year, so it will two more years until I've got my bachelors degree and then another two until I've got my master. I don't know how I'll manage, but I hope it will all work out. I've also started working as a research assistant at the institute of human factor science at my uni, so I hope that will improve my chances for a job after I've finished...

Thanks. Hopefully it will work out. Just another obstacle to overcome.

Yeah, these are the first meds that actually work at all for me. I'd taken all sorts of meds and all they ever seemed to do was make me sick or exhausted. Just making things worse. I'm taking Citalophram which is just an anti-depressant. I'm pretty certain (like, absolutely) that I've developed bipolar. So all it does is help the depression part, but being manic all the time is better than being depressed or having constant swings. So I understand not wanting to give up a med that helps even if it's not fully helping. Some is better than none.

Ah. I couldn't go to school for that long. I was never meant for college. What are you going to be? My goal right now is to become a wedding and event planner. Hopefully that will help get a job. It certainly can't hurt!
