They are so easy to make - just a chocolate sponge with a whole oreo in the bottom, with vanilla buttercream that has the biscuit part ground up finely into it and a mini oreo to decorate on top

I bake semi-professionally but mostly because I love it! Favourite thing to bake is oreo cupcakes and banana poppyseed muffins

I did enjoy Jackie and Bunty More into Kick-Ass and Y The Last Man now...

And by that I mean comic books, not stand up comedians What are you reading and why do you like it?

You will need to contact your local council, as there are cases of some funding being put aside for certain instances. I take it you are on benefits? As you only need to pay bedroom tax if you are in reciept of them. It can also depend on how disabled you are, whether you need that room for a carer to stay over, or medical equipment. Best thing to do is contact your local housing authority who should be able to help. Also contact your local citizens advice bureau.

#23 - I feel like they should be clicking their fingers like in West Side Story!

While I appreciate that about you, I was thinking more chocolate based things? Or things not forum related maybes? Or chocolate? I really want some chocolate.

The phantom Malteser that sometimes appears when you think you've finished the packet!

Just because you are not getting immediate results does not mean you are not getting help from the services you have contacted. It does take time, there are waiting lists. Once you have been referred to a psychologist you will be able to contact them via their secretary. This will take time to happen so you need to wait unfortunately. The nurse will not be able to put you on medication, she is right in that your doctor is the one to decide that for you. She also sounded as if she did want to help but was limited in what she could do. It is frustrating, but it's not her fault. All your stress and ranting is coming from assuming what they are going or not going to help you with. I feel you are being unreasonable by expecting everything to happen straight away for you. There has been no definite 'no's' just going by what you are describing. It has only been a couple of weeks since everything has been put in motion for you and you have been told what to do while you wait for them to come back. Lyndalou is right that you need to focus on the positive things like your trip to go see your Aunt. Try and do something fun.

Ever thought of noise reducing earplugs/headset? I have earplugs and I couldn't survive without them.

Don't know if graphic novels count, but I'm reading Maus.

Do not cancel you appointment. Keep chasing up the people who are supposed to be phoning you and don't. Just keep going Smiley.

Smiley stop this now. What you are describing to me is severe mood swings and you need to speak to your parents. You know you aren't a bad person, you know you aren't fat or ugly. You need to take some deep breaths and calm down. Everything will be okay but you need to calm down. Please call the Samaritans and speak to someone.

Calm. Down. If the nurse doesn't ring you - you ring her. You are not a failure, and you are not a wimp. You need to break this cycle. I think right now you need to speak to The Samaritans - 08457 90 90 90 then tomorrow you need to call your social worker. You have been quite manic these past few days and I think you need to write all of this down, or print these threads out to show to the nurse or social worker. They will help you okay?

Yay!

There are some interesting questions in there in relation to ASD I must say

Smiley you need to contact the doctor tomorrow about this. I am surprised they haven't put you back on your medication to even out your moods. If they have told you to, it's worth listening to them. You are not fat. You are not ugly. You need to keep telling yourself this. I also think you need to speak to your parents about your eating and body issues.
