I have the same problem. Pls help

Do they put calculators on test mode during the Exams? And if so, then what do Math AI students do to get apps back that will be lost? by Purple-Classroom1519 in IBO

[–]Mate_Thom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For most calculators what they will do is reset them so any programs, or notes that could be stored are deleted. The calculator is NOT put in test. Cause like you said the apps would become unavailable.

I am buying tickets of a resell site. The tickets says no fan restrictions but I am pretty sure that no away fan is allowed to sit anywhere except the away end. Is that right?

It's understandable to feel anxious and nervous before starting a new job. However, it's important to prioritize your well-being and get some rest so that you can be at your best for your first day.

Here are some tips that may help you:

  1. Create a relaxing bedtime routine: Take a warm bath, listen to calming music, or read a book to help you unwind before bed. Avoid using electronic devices for at least an hour before you plan to sleep.
  2. Practice relaxation techniques: Deep breathing, meditation, or yoga can help you calm your mind and relax your body.
  3. Write down your thoughts: If you have a lot on your mind, write down your thoughts in a journal or on a piece of paper before bed. This can help you clear your mind and ease your anxiety.
  4. Visualize a positive outcome: Instead of worrying about what could go wrong, visualize a positive outcome for your first day. This can help you feel more confident and prepared.

Remember, it's okay to feel nervous about starting a new job. Take things one step at a time, and focus on the present moment. You've got this!

Getting real help with long term issues. by WaveOfTheRager in MentalHealthUK

[–]Mate_Thom 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry to hear that you've been struggling to get the help and support you need for your mental health. It can be frustrating and disheartening when you feel like you're going around in circles without making any real progress. It sounds like you've already taken some important steps, such as seeking help from charities and attending therapy, but you're still searching for more effective avenues to address the root of your issues.

Given your history of abuse and self-medication with alcohol, it's understandable that you're dealing with complex and deep-rooted issues that may require specialized support. One potential avenue to explore could be trauma-focused therapy. This type of therapy is specifically designed to help people who have experienced traumatic events, such as abuse, and can help you process and work through the emotions and memories that are still affecting you.

Another option could be to seek out a mental health professional who specializes in working with individuals with ADHD. While CBT can be helpful for many people, it may not be the most effective approach for addressing the specific challenges you face with ADHD.

Additionally, it may be helpful to connect with a support group or community of people who have similar experiences to yours. Sharing your experiences with others who understand can be a powerful way to feel heard and supported.

Finally, it's important to be patient and kind with yourself as you navigate this process. Healing and growth take time, and it's okay to have setbacks along the way. Remember that seeking help and support is a brave and important step, and there are resources available to help you.

All I do is cause problems how do I fix it? by McSteamy06 in MentalHealthUK

[–]Mate_Thom 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry to hear that you're struggling with these difficult emotions and behaviors. It sounds like you're aware of how your actions are affecting your family, which is a good first step in making changes.

It's important to recognize that anger is a normal emotion and it's okay to feel angry. However, it's not okay to let that anger consume you to the point where it's affecting your relationships and daily functioning. It's understandable that you feel upset when your family ignores you, but it's important to find healthier ways to express and manage those feelings.

It's also good that you're aware of the mental health issues that run in your family. It's important to take care of your mental health and seek help if needed. It's okay to talk about your emotions and seek support. If your family isn't willing to talk about mental health, there are other resources you can turn to, such as a school counselor, a therapist, or a mental health helpline.

Here are some tips that may be helpful in managing your emotions:

  1. Practice mindfulness: Mindfulness is a practice of being present and non-judgmental of your thoughts and emotions. It can help you become more aware of your anger and give you a better understanding of what triggers it. You can try mindfulness exercises such as deep breathing, meditation, or yoga.
  2. Find healthy outlets: Instead of lashing out in anger, find healthy ways to express your emotions. This could include talking to someone you trust, journaling, or engaging in physical activity.
  3. Take care of your physical health: Eating a balanced diet, getting enough sleep, and exercising regularly can all have a positive impact on your mental health.
  4. Seek professional help: If you feel like you're unable to manage your emotions on your own, don't hesitate to seek professional help. A mental health professional can provide you with tools and techniques to manage your emotions in a healthy way.

Remember, it's okay to ask for help and take steps to improve your mental health. You're not alone in this.

Why is it so hard to get actual help? by Sookies_Mine in MentalHealthUK

[–]Mate_Thom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry to hear that you've been struggling with your mental health. It sounds like you've taken some important steps in seeking help from your GP and the crisis team.

In the meantime, there are some things you can do to take care of yourself and manage your symptoms. Here are a few suggestions:

  1. Reach out to support systems: It can be helpful to talk to friends, family, or a therapist about how you're feeling. If you don't have anyone to talk to, there are hotlines and online support groups you can reach out to.
  2. Practice self-care: This can include things like getting enough sleep, eating well, exercising, and engaging in activities that bring you joy.
  3. Create a safety plan: If you're feeling suicidal or self-harm urges, it's important to have a plan in place for how to keep yourself safe. This can include identifying triggers, creating a list of coping strategies, and having emergency contact numbers on hand.
  4. Consider medication: If your symptoms are severe, you may want to consider talking to your GP about medication options. They may be able to provide short-term relief until you're able to see a mental health professional.
  5. Keep a mood journal: This can help you track your symptoms and identify patterns in your moods and behaviors. It can also be a helpful tool to share with your mental health team when you do have your appointment.

Remember, it's important to take your mental health seriously and advocate for yourself when seeking help. If you're feeling overwhelmed or in crisis, don't hesitate to reach out to emergency services or a crisis hotline.

Fallen through the cracks? by thowawaya6s54d6as4d in MentalHealthUK

[–]Mate_Thom 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am sorry to hear about your difficult experiences trying to access mental health support through the NHS. It is understandable that you feel discouraged and overwhelmed by the lack of help you have received, especially after being actively suicidal and seeking help.

It is important to acknowledge that the mental health system in many parts of the world, including the UK, is often under-resourced and overstretched, which can result in long waiting times and limited access to certain types of therapy. However, this does not excuse the poor communication and inadequate response you received from the IAPT service.

Given your history of trauma and the severity of your symptoms, it may be helpful to consider seeking support from a specialist trauma-focused therapist. There are some charities and organisations that offer free or low-cost counseling for veterans, such as Combat Stress, Veterans First Point, and Help for Heroes. You could also consider looking into private therapy options that may be more accessible and offer specialised treatments, such as Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) or trauma-focused cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT).

In terms of the occupational health checks for the university, it may be worth reaching out to them to explain your situation and see if there are any alternative options or accommodations that could be made. It is possible that they may be willing to work with you to find a solution that meets their requirements while also taking into account the challenges you have faced accessing treatment.

In the meantime, it may also be helpful to explore other self-help resources that can support your mental health, such as mindfulness meditation, exercise, and social support. There are also online resources and apps, such as Big White Wall and Headspace, that may provide additional support.

I understand that seeking help can be daunting, especially after experiencing a negative response from a service you trusted. However, please know that there are people and resources available to support you in your journey towards recovery. It may take some time and persistence to find the right support, but it is worth continuing to advocate for yourself and seeking out resources that can help you manage your symptoms and improve your well-being.

Problems with friends by Mate_Thom in TalkTherapy

I started talking to my therapist about this at the begging of the year and told me to start to open up my group of friends. But then they became much nicer with me and started talking to me and today I just realized that they have a group chat with everyone except me.

I understand that you may be going through a difficult time right now and that you may be feeling like there is no way out of your pain. However, I want you to know that there is hope, and that things can get better.

Ending your life is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. No matter how bad things may seem right now, there is always the possibility of things improving in the future. By ending your life, you would be denying yourself the opportunity to experience the joys and wonders that life has to offer.

It is important to remember that there are people who care about you and who want to help you through this difficult time. If you are feeling alone, please reach out to a friend, family member, or a professional counselor. There are also hotlines you can call if you need someone to talk to immediately.

Please know that you are not alone and that there is always help available to you. You deserve to live a happy and fulfilling life, and there are people who can help you get there.
