Re: Introduction!!
I really liked season 1 to be honest. 3 was also good. 2 and 4 were ok to me but I didn’t like 5 because of plot holes and stuff lol
Re: Having a baby!
firstly congratulations, as my dad always says, there are worse things than a little baby - meaning it can really be the making of some people.
I think it’s natural to be scared though - it’s a massive life change particularly at your age. Have your family been supportive? I’m wondering if the boyfriend is still in the picture and supporting you too? It takes a village to raise a baby, I hope you have lots of support around you right now.
Re: Rough time figuring out if I should do something.
@Animalloverb it is such a difficult position to be in. You absolutely deserve support, but at the same time, your mental health and wellbeing is a priority, and if keeping things no contact at the moment brings you more stability and peace then it makes sense to keep doing that. I know this was tough for you to open up and talk about, and you've said you're not sure if you can keep this conversation going, but we're here whenever/if ever you feel you want to talk about it again.

Re: Drinking and smoking
@Animalloverb it shows great resilience to keep going. Failure being part of the journey is such a good way to look at it. Congratulations on the 2 years! You're doing amazing! Have you been trying those distraction techniques lately? Are there any other distraction techniques/alternative, healthier 'releases' that you haven't tried that you'd like to?

Re: Tw my day

you mentioned your teacher yelling, do they do that a lot and would you feel comfortable reporting that to someone higher up in the school?
we are so proud of you for opening up to your mum especially when it sounds like it can be difficult to get through to her, how are you feeling now you’ve chatted to her?
You’ve mentioned self harming and I’d jus like to check if your feeling like you can keep safe?
we are here for you and we are listening friend, you are not alone 💜

Re: Society executive update
@BensonE, for those of us who weren't in the chat the other day, would you like to share some more about this? A poster within the society being shared sounds exciting!

Re: Inappropriate touching
It is awful that the doctor dismissed you last week, but you've done a brilliant job sharing with the police - it takes strength to open up and share. I can see how much this has had an impact on you and you absolutely deserve some peace. I have sent you some links via DM but, whenever you do feel comfortable and ready, this resource (click here) has some great self help guides (specifically the one for women and girls). They go through reactions to trauma, thoughts and feelings, and how to manage them so they don't feel as overwhelming. Do you think this could be helpful? How have you been managing all this since speaking to the police?

Re: Breakup
