Re: General chit chat
I try to leave the fan off at night if I can these days because I find it gives me epic dry eyes if I leave it on. It’s right by where my face goes lol. I might need it tonight though with a large dose of eye drops to counteract the side effects
My friend wants to go down to the beach and now I sincerely wish I had not started doing adulty things that need finished.. but here we are, adulty things it is.

But I’ve stripped the bed, I’m even washing the mattress protector. I’m gonna attempt to flip the (double) mattress over as well, wish me luck doing that on my own, I might show up to chat tonight with a broken back, knee, elbow, neck and brain. I am supposed to flip the mattress every couple of months, but it’s heavy so I think I have a justification for why I don’t.
Annoyingly I only have one mattress protector, so I’m gonna have to wait until that’s done and dry before I can put the other set of bedding on. I have 2 of everything else deliberately so I can get it done in one go.
Hoping to spend a bit of time outside later, but also have to pop into town to grab some dog food. Think it’s a day for the sunroof to be open tbh. I’ll hang the washing out first I think then we’ll head in

Re: Mental health short stories 2025
Goodbye
I’ve been thinking about leaving this community for a long time. I’ve taken breaks before, but this isn’t like those times. This isn’t just about logging off—it’s about letting go. Possibly for good.
I’ve been struggling with certain thoights and its not easy to admit, but it’s been quietly growing inside me for a while now. It feels like I’ve run out of ways to fight it, and even though I know people care, it doesn’t change how hollow everything feels.
I’m not writing this for attention or pity. I just wanted to say goodbye in a way that’s honest. There are reasons for where I’m at, but they live inside me—deep and tangled—and nothing anyone says can really undo them.Still, I need to say thank you. This community, and some of the people here, have helped me through moments I didn’t think I’d survive. I felt seen, even if just briefly.
But I don’t have it in me to keep going anymore. I wish I did.
To those of you still fighting your own battles—please keep going. You might not realize it, but your presence matters. You matter. You’re not as alone as you think, even if it feels that way.
As for me… this is goodbye.
