Re: Anybody want to vent or chat about anything? w/c 01.12.25
Hey @Nemuritai , thank you so much for sharing about this. I hear you, and we see you. What would you say has been the toughest part of the last few weeks, if you feel comfortable sharing? No pressure at all to do so if that doesn't feel helpful right now either. We're here to listen whenever you'd like to share.
Slowing down sounds like a really self-caring thing to offer yourself, especially if you're noticing that things have been difficult. What's one of your favourite ways to slow down when things start to feel a bit much. I know for me watching a movie is one of the best ways to help my brain feel quieter, or allowing myself to say 'no' to social plans when I'm a bit overloaded.
We're here for you, and sending care.

Hey @Nemuritai Thanks for sharing this, I really appreciate you being able to be so open, it takes a lot of strength. That is completely okay that you don't want to go into detail, you are sharing what you feel comfortable sharing and that's amazing.
@Jack25 I'm sorry to hear you had to deal with that Jack, it sounds incredibly stressful, especially when you're already going through so much. You deserve to be treated with respect, I'm glad the concerns were taken seriously, even if the process was difficult, please be gentle with yourself. You are not alone and I'm really glad you reached out and shared what's happening.
@Lottie5433 that sounds really tiring, doing a long drive whilst you are emotionally drained can take so much out of you. It makes complete sense that you would need quiet time to yourself, try to give yourself grace in moments like these, it sounds like you are doing the best you can in a tough situation and you would really benefit from some time to rest after a stressful day and from what you said, you were also struggling last night. I'm wondering if you have ay time coming up to take a proper breather?

Kooth called an ambulance because CMHT refused to contact them back, the ambulance contacted CMHT and the coordinator was rude she immediately said I’m reporting this. Somewhat glad to know it’s not just me thinking these people are rude to me. I’m going through such a rough period none of my coping skills are working. My social services referral has been escalated as a safeguarding concern due to my risk.
hey @Jack25 . hru today?

Re: What Support Do You Want To See On Saturdays?
i think a support thread would be more beneficial and helpful for many ppl here on the mix. also having reminders before and on the day of the film day bc then ppl might be able to join more. bc i would love to join but i forget 🥲

I am safe, sorry I just don't really feel capable of talking right now. I'm just a mess

Its totally okay not to have made any achievements this month. Sometimes simply just being here and in the present moment is an achievement in itself especially in a busy world. I am aware that you are going through so so much right now and I'm glad you opened up on here too about it too. I'm sending you good vibes right now and I'm always here if you need someone to talk to.
