TW/ Self harm
So Tuesday night I had a bad relapse which resulted in me having to get first aid today. I felt panicked about showing Janis all day especially as she was very busy most of the day and goes home at 3pm and so it got to 2:45 and I asked my ALS if I could go and see Janis as she knew something was bothering me because I was heavily distracted in lesson and was struggling to be focused and was reaching a point where I was getting really jittery so she let me go see Janis.
Part of me didn’t want her to be free except she was so I just went it and was really quiet and she asked if I was okay and all I could say was “I’m sorry” so she shut the office door and sorted my self harm, the head of union of students was there too and she was lovely too, we started chatting as Janis asked if anything was bothering me and I explained a situation that was bothering me.
She cleaned it all up and applied first aid and logged it etc and then she let out the “as you know I tell Emma whenever you self harm however this time I will have to make her aware of the severity of it” my heart sank hearing that and I just nodded and went back to lesson and sat down on the verge of tears.
Last time I did sh this bad Emma phoned home and it didn’t cause issues but I struggled accepting that my mum needed to know and this time I knew she would do the same (not sure if she has or not) but it makes me so anxious

Final Goodbye
To everyone I have ever loved,
To everyone who ever cared,
I'm so sorry.
I have tried — I truly have. I fought with everything I had left, even when it felt like I was battling invisible storms no one else could see. I held on for longer than I thought I could, hoping for a change, hoping for peace. But nothing has changed. And the weight of fighting every day has worn me down to nothing.
I’m tired. Tired in ways that sleep can't fix. Tired of hurting, tired of hoping, tired of feeling like a burden even when people said otherwise.
I know you tried, and I’m sorry that I wasn’t strong enough. Please know this: you didn’t fail me. I failed myself.I'm not writing this to blame anyone. I’m writing this because I need you to know that this choice is not because of you. It’s because I can’t carry this anymore. My heart hurts too much, my mind is too tired, and my soul just wants peace.
Permanently leaving this world feels like the only kindness I can give myself — and maybe, in some way, it will be better for those who loved me too. I won't be a burden anymore. I won't be a shadow lingering in your lives.
Please don't hate me for this.
Please remember the parts of me that smiled, that cared, that loved you fiercely even when I couldn't show it anymore.
Please forgive me for leaving.
I'm sorry. I am so, so sorry.Thank you for every moment you gave me — even when I couldn't give anything back.
Goodbye.
With all the love I have left,
To everyone I have ever loved,
To everyone who ever cared,
I'm so sorry.

Re: Elderly people
@sinead276 I am glad I’m not the only one I saw a elderly man sitting on his own at a cafe and I couldn’t help feel bad I smiled at him and he saw and smiled back🥹
