I’m not gonna get anywhere

Samaritans say I can end my life since I’m 18 and can make my own decisions

Shout tell me to have a cup of tea to fix my insomnia 🙁

Calm tell me can’t speak to them if don’t have an active plan

KellysHeroes agree that I’m an attention seeker

I give up!!!

What’s the point in anything anymore, someone who doesn’t even know me doesn’t even want me here

donating blood

so im going to be donating blood on my 17th birthday in one of the uk's blood donation centres. the minimum age to donate blood is 17 so ill just about meet the age criteria to donate blood. now im not really a big fan of blood tests so i wanted to book in a blood donation appointment to see if i can go out of my comfort zone. besides, im doing it for a good cause and my blood will go to someone in need. now since i live in hertfordshire the nearest blood donation centres are in london but theres not really any parking nearby and they kind of require you to go by train. so therefore i had to book it somewhere else. id rather donate in a donation centre than a community venue because i think it just seems more proper in my opinion. the community venues just sound a bit sketchy but i dont know if its just me or not.

note: ok after digging for a little bit edgware donor centre in london has parking at the back of the donation centre but for some reason when i searched up london edgware donor centre didnt show up so its strange. plus edgware donor centre only has bookings from the 21st of july so thats one day off my birthday. i kind of want to donate on my 17th birthday exactly because then that would be kind of like a special day for me to donate blood if you get what i mean. i should have done more research to be honest lol.

Would it be okay if through July, I tagged you in this thread, just to check up on you and remind you during that anniversary month of it, that you are cared about on here?

@River Day 2 of letting you know how awesome of a friend you are, and how cared about you are here. You matter, you're feelings matter, and screw the world for letting you down so much in the past. You don't have to worry about being let down here friend. We're all here for you.

Suicide and Samaritans

If your over 18 Samaritan don’t give a shit if you attempt and you just get “that’s your choice”

Under 18 they say there worried about you and want your details

How fun least I get my answer to things…👍🏻

@DonnerKebab wanna chat?

@Redemption Sure thing Bro. Got my leg sorted today so i'm mostly out of pain now. How's things been for you.

@DonnerKebab glad you got your leg sorted that's great you're mostly out of pain. Been ok, just overwhemed and irratable like I had to leave te chat abruptly because I had to drive back from giving my cousin a lift from football, I shouldn't have to miss chat time for that and i wanted to send Iram some links to a YouTuber we both watch, I hate when I have to do that finish early when im chatting someone especially as by the time I got home chat was finished.

@Redemption it sucks having to leave early, especially when your enjoying it. But you'll see Iram in a different support chat and can tell him then, and hopefully it's not a regular issue of you having to drive him there.

@DonnerKebab definitely sucks, I guess stuff like this happens in life from time to time. Hahaha I think Iram is female 🤣 bro but the point still stands, I should see them next week and show the links then, maybe in general. It's not a regular issue, I'm trying to encourage if 1 of the guys from the group could give a lift, it won't get a regular issue like I'm a bit fed up with it all ready after 1 week, I used to have to do it a few times and I had to have a chat to family like we need to sort something out here, only have to do it now as family are on holiday for a couple of weeks, I dont really want to do it for them weeks tbh, I hope i don't sound tight or anything but I feel like I need to be assertive a bit too. That's definitely something I need to improve on, its something that has improved but still could do with improving more like my self esteem and getting into work it will happen its just been a bit of a long road. Got my meeting on Friday regarding my next steps what that organisation can do to help me, maybe make a plan, like they said they aren't there to hold my hand but can help to aj extent so got my meeting which I'm pretty nervous for, should be ok though. I'll get to where I want to be and so will you. Sorry this is long mate.
