Re: Anybody want to vent or chat about anything?
@DonnerKebab aw how come he is awake still? Is he having a bad night too?
Yeah insomnia and MADD are my new hobbies 😂😂😂
@River I can't sleep until he does. And he won't sleep until he physically is too tired to do anything. He's not mentally capable of understanding the notion of needing sleep, or sleep schedules, he has no concept of it, so he'll just keep going until he pretty much can't help but fall asleep from sheer tiredness. Sleeping tablets aren't effective anymore, and I have to be ready to put a helmet on him at any moment if he starts a headbanging episode, which happen randomly, which means i have to stay awake lol. It's been this way for me since I was 11, so I'm used to it. And yeah, he has bad nights all the time, sometimes good ones. Been a bad night for the last few nights in a row though sadly, so tomorrow will likely be a good one 😂.
Got to say, interesting hobby picks 😂😂😂 How's Ariel hoop going?
(Drunk suicidal thoughts) I have nothing to look forward to in life
I’m safe. I’m in therapy. During my last session, my therapist and I made a safety plan. My next session is next week.
Even though I’ve got a lot on my mind, I don’t want to type anything out. All I want to do is just bawl my eyes out.
I’ve tried everything to achieve a better life. And I’m tired of hoping for things to get better. When it won’t. This is just my life. And I’m realistically better off killing myself.

About me
Heyy, I thought I would make a little chat of things about me just to help others on here feel more comfortable and less alone with things.
I know many of you know me as Bea, that is a nickname many people call me it makes me feel secure.
So here is some information about me.
I have many different diagnoses, these are; Autism, Epilepsy, Vision impairment, Hearing impairment, Asthma, PTSD, and Selective Mutism disorder.
My vision impairments cause my vision to be limited, I can only see a certain distance, this is because my eye condition causes my eyes to bounce which makes things to become severely blurred so I am unable to see anything clearly.
My hearing impairment causes me to be hard of hearing, I am completely deaf in my left ear and I am going to be having surgery to hopefully make things a little better, and as for my right ear I am very hard of hearing I am able to hear certain sounds depending on what they are and how loud they are.
So that is everything about my conditions.
Here are some fun things about me.
I have a love for photography, despite being visually impaired I find a way to take pictures of different things and based on what people have said they are pretty good pictures.
I have a passion for art I love to draw and paint. As well as this I also like to write it helps get things out of my head and helps me to get voices out there in the world.
I am obsessed with starwars and animals. Animals help me to feel safe and calm I have multiple pets, these are- 1 guinea pig, 2 hamsters, 2 gerbils and a rabbit.
I also work at a wildlife sanctuary 1 day a week.
For my ongoing future I am hoping to help people as my choice of career, I want to spread awareness in order to help society understand more about mental health aswell as the affects of abuse. And I would also maybe like to do some animal photography along side this.
These last parts I am going to talk about can be triggering so if you don't want to be triggered then please stop reading. There will be mentions of suicide, deaths, abuse and other mental health related problems.
So firstly, when I was the age of 9 I was abused by a family member, and it finally stopped just before my 13th birthday when I told someone. This all caused me to struggle extremely and I attempted to end my life about 6 times. I have also got PTSD from the abuse and can have flashbacks and memories, I have learned what kind of things trigger these to come up which has been helpful.
I lost someone a knew due to suicide a few years ago, I did everything in my power to help them but was unfortunately not able to save them and I did blame myself for a long time and it took me a while to realise that I do not need to blame myself as I did everything I could.
I was kicked out of all education but I still managed to progress and achieve things people never believed I would achieve.
Despite everything that goes on with my life I always try to move forward and stay strong even when it becomes really hard. There are times I fall backwards but that is all part of the process.
Thank you for reading.

Re: I failed in life
@Sian321 I triggered myself by looking at other coworkers social media (not always a good idea lol) and there’s this girl (who I’ve probably talked about a million times before cuz I wanna be her lol) who’s succeeding in her side job as a dance teacher. This caused me to feel depressed about the fact that I’ve failed to achieve my dream goal, and then I remembered its very likely I won’t achieve other things in life like love
