Spoke to the covering psychiatrist last night and made an appointment for this morning. Went in to see him today, and he wanted me to go into hospital but I refused - I have worked too hard to build up my life again, I'm not going to lose it because of my own weakness. He increased my Seroquel and I have to have a blood test tomorrow to check if he can increase my Tegretol too. Also having my liver function checked to make sure that my abuse of painkillers hasn't caused any damage. Have to go to my GP and have a physical too, what fun.

He was very nice about it, and has made himself available to me if things deteriorate further before I see him again next week.

Uni was OK, got to the last half hour of my last lecture though and my concentration just flew out the window. I am very tired and emotionally worn out. I can hardly keep my eyes open
