Re: tw//: domestic violence. self harm.
Hey @eylah,
I'm really sorry to hear what is going on for you right now and that you aren't getting the support you deserve from your dad or domestic violence support. You have been very brave to reach out and we are very proud of you.
I just wanted to drop you a message with some signposts you might be able to use if you're looking for some extra support
Take good care of yourself and let us know how you get on? I'm really glad to see the community has supported you so well here

Re: [deleted]
You’re definitely not a letdown / disappointment. I think that because you’re trying. You’re trying to move forwards and you’ve done stuff at college - I can’t remember the specifics sorry but I know you’re really trying to get a job and all of that. I feel like sometimes the older generations think university is the only successful pathway for people, but it’s not like that really, there are other options. I dont know why your uncle would say that to you, especially if he knows you’re genuinely trying. I’m so sorry.

Re: I wrote a song about the mix
@Chloe234 - i think this is really good. you've got a talent for it. I know for sure I couldn't write something as well as this (although my creative abilities are minimal 😂).
Honestly, its really good - you should be proud

Re: Happiness
I haven't read the article but I don't think it's true. There is research that suggests that affirmations and generally believing in yourself and thinking positively can help with emotional wellbeing. Of course, thinking positively won't fix all of life's problems and there may be some times in life where we think positively and take chances only to find out that it doesn't work out. But that doesn't mean that affirmations don't help at all. It can definitely help us to feel better though!
