Re: Having a baby!
It was. a big shock we weren’t planning on having a baby now. I am worried that I won’t manage when it is time for me to give birth.
i think you need to hear this. 🫂
you are not alone. i know you're not okay. i know it feels like nobody sees how much you are struggling. you suffer in silence. and you pretend to be okay while inside you feel lost broken and tired of keeping your head above water.
i see you. and i see what you don't see. your strength. your courage. your resilience. you rly are amazing to get through all the things you have and still find a way to keep smiling.
keep going and don't you ever lose hope bc things do and will get easier. i am so proud of you. 🫂

Re: (cw: sexual abuse/harassment) someone i matched with on a dating app got a bit obsessive
@eden87 No worries at all, we're here for you while you're dealing with this and processing everything. It's good to hear that you restricted contact with them to the dating app and didn't give them any other ways to contact you. You are so strong for showing these photos to your friends, you deserve that. Would you be open to sharing them with your parents or other family members too so they know what's been happening? Well done for deleting your account, that was a good decision to make sure they can't contact you again through the app.

Re: (cw: sexual abuse/harassment) someone i matched with on a dating app got a bit obsessive
hi @Callum thank you so much for your response and for the resources
i only spoke to them through the dating app, they did ask for other ways to contact me a couple times but i never gave them the information. i've shown the pictures to my friends so they're aware of this person's response. i didn't respond to the messages in the third picture and deleted my account, so i haven't had any other contact with them since then.

Re: Idk what to do anymore (TW- mention of SH/SI and ED)
hi @Callum sorry for the late response.
I don’t need any medical attention after the self harming - although I never seek help even if I think i need it. I have acted on the urges today and hurt myself.
I just don’t like having to switch my brain off from work mode and back into like “me time” and then back to work again, and it’s like I miss 2hrs out of a work day when I go. This session was a bit more helpful we’ve moved onto emotional regulation so are working on what our emotions mean etc.
Well if just like to talk about what happened the other night and the following days after, and like how I tried telling him about how everything makes me feel and how sometimes what he says and does doesn’t help.
im sort of feeling okay, a little nervous just with sending her my diary card and talking about it. I did get the session moved online
