attention seeker?

[Nutter]

Without too much detail..the story goes like so...I have a few problems that am currently trying to work out, I keep talking to my tutor about them, and I don't know if I am an attention seeker, because I must admit I really enjoy the chats and kinda get a high from them. Or if I just get high (rushes or whatever) from having mood swings. They are quite intense mood swings, and I feel like I could really do somthing crazy soon.
what do you think?

I think this relates to your seeing things move thread on the health and fitness forum...

Otherwise, its always nice to have some attention but do you make things up to talk about or do you really have some issues? If you have issues to talk through then how is it attention seeking? I wouldn't stress over it too much, everyone has mood swings now and then.

[Nutter]

yes i do have genuine issues

thanks for your reply

say more thingss......

I don't think you have a problem. On my course, we always take part in debates. (at least half of them aren't work related)

w...t...f...

What? You are probably worrying about nothing. It doesn't seem to me that you have a problem.

Nah, the fact that you get a high probably means that you're offloading your problems, therefore making you feel better etc etc...

did you get a high from it also?

[clementine_the_tangerine]

Do you get to talk to people often and do they listen to you like your tutor does? Sometimes its hard to talk to people. I wouldnt call you an attention seekr. Just that you've found someone to open upto.

In reply to "did you get a high from it also?" (Sorry I forgot to hit the quote button etc etc lol!!)


It's not so much that, it's like a huge weight lifted off my shoulders more than anything. I didn't realise just how bad things had been until I opened up to one of my tutors, which wasn't actually that hard to do. The hardest part was actually gathering myself enough to actually contact him. Ya see, I'm the kind of person who doesn't say anything, and then it builds up, until I reach breaking point.

It was fantastic to have someone who just sat and listened, gave excellent advice, and went to a lot of trouble to help me out. I was so embarrassed that I just basically cried the whole time, but it didn't phase him, and now I feel miles better. It's great to know that I have that kind of support at university.
