First day back today… really odd and quite hectic.
Had a chat with my tutor prior to my proper tutorial on Thursday, he seemed genuinely concerned and asked if I was self-harming. I lied and said I wasn’t, he said he figured I wasn’t because otherwise they’d have locked me in a strait-jacket or something. Nice to see judgements and prejudice is alive and well. I told him the anti-depressant dose has been upped and he said that wasn’t a problem, but if it became evident that my mood was affecting my studies then he’d refer me to occupational health.
Going out later for a birthday drink – not mine, a girl on the course – don’t want to drink in my current mood, and with the increased venlafaxine, but know that when I’m with people who are drinking, I’ll feel the urge and pressure to join them and my willpower isn’t good.
Got a horrible taste in my mouth. Have had it all day – probably because I took 2 zopiclone to sleep last night.

Is it wrong that I heard a geordie voice saying day one in ….
No TV but big brother still permeates how odd.
Glad your day went well.

Rollecoaster & Alison – thank s a lot.
Exactscience – that is very, very wrong. Mind you all the Geordies I know, who have met non-Geordies are always asked to either say “Byker Grove” or “It’s day one in the Big Brother house” or should I say “hoose”!
