I just throught that I'd share some more stuff. You're probably all tired of hearing from me by now. sweatdrop
I should probably have a journal thread or something...

Anyway...
I don't hear voices anymore. In fact, that only happened once or twice.
I still see the odd shadow or something zoom past me, but nothing major.
I tend to get depressed quite a bit, usually around night time.
I also tend to lose interest in stuff. For example, I'm getting my exam results next Thursday and I don't care. At all. In fact, during the exams I didn't care. I didn't panic, worry or anything. Hell, I couldn't even be arsed to revise.
I occasionally get very paranoid, but that's usually when I'm depressed.
Oh, and I seem to have lost weight lately, and I was rather thin to begin with!

I like to read up on different mental illnesses. They really do interest me. Wikipedia is my usual source of info. xd
I know it's bad to self-diagnose and whatnot, but I came across similarities with Bipolar Disorder. o.0

I don't particularly want to share this stuff with family and such right now, as it's so close to me starting college. Everything would just get all jumbled and messy.

Your college probably has a student health center where you can see a therapist for free. Your depression might need some help (particularly because starting school can cause stress which can make it worse) so let a professional know how you're feeling--and make sure you mention all the stuff you've experienced. Good luck! What's your major?

College is different in the UK. I'm gonna do Art, Graphics, History and, possibly, Physics. razz

If there is someone I can talk to, I will. It seems like the right thing to do.

Oh! And here's another thing!
Today I've been overly energetic, and I mean really. I went to the cinema and I was all like... Well... Like I'd had too much sugar or something (I don't usually go all 'hyper' off sugar anyway...), but all I'd had to eat was a packet of crisps, some crispy duck and some stir-fried ramen. When i was actually in the cinema, I couldn't keep still. razz And I kept making random comments at everything. My dad shouted at me. Only quietly.
After the film, I was doing a 'pirate dance', which was basically me flailing around all over the place.

I was talking to my friend on MSN afterwards, and he was just irritating me, although he wasn't doing anything particularly annoying.

Oh, and my dad shouted at me again. he told me to 'Calm down', but I couldn't. That's what worried me. gonk

Colleges in the UK often have counsellors who you can see.

Oh, goodie. ^_^

This has been bugging me more and more lately.
Yesterday I went from being 'hyper' to being 'dead' in the space of 15 minutes. gonk
