Best Of
Afraid to eat in front of people
Why do I hate eating in front of other people. NEw friends, guys, I dont like it. I am only comfortable around my family, or around my best friends. It's like the idea of going to get food with someone is so intimate, I hate intimacy and automatically I just decide I don't want to eat in front of someone else. It makes me so anxious. I shut it right down.
Re: Dont like single life
@Redemption I completely agree with you. Single life is really difficult. Especially when you said you don't want to 'intentionally' find someone, and you want it to come naturally, I have never related to anything more in my life. I don't want to purposely go out looking for love. I have just come out of a toxic relationship, so I also find it difficult to WANT to be in a new one. I don't like affection, and I find the idea of intimacy and getting close to someone scary, but I just want a best friend. Someone I can confide in. Someone who likes me for who I am. Someone who can take my mind off things.
Re: I am finally out of the toxic relationship
Hi @pharmagirl27 ! I’m so so proud of you, I can’t imagine how hard that must have been<3

From @Lottie5433 on the last thread:
I’m just done with everything
With work
Life
Just everything
I feel sick to my stomach and just don’t see much point most of the time
The only thigg by a that keep me going are my dog and my bf
Can’t talk to him right now as I know what he’d say and tell me I need to talk to someone etc but can’t so that either

I think a lot of this is likely due to me being on my antidepressants again after not taking them for a few weeks or it if I did it was sporadic in when I’d take them. But also that I can’t do peer support this week and that I just felt a lot of things have been going on behind my back.
I’m just fed up with everything there is too much change happening.
Part of me just can’t do it anymore but I’ll disappoint a lot of people if I do anything
Re: Books on self-love and understanding myself
@pharmagirl27 hi🫶
I hope you’re doing okay, I’m sorry to hear about your breakup (Im here if you ever want to talk about it
)
first off I can completely relate and understanding the feeling of being ‘too emotional’. Sometimes it can feel like a curse because it means we might over reactive to certain things and be overly emotional but personally I like to convince myself it’s also a blessing in some ways.
Even though the bad times can feel even worse, when we have things we really care about, we are really passionate and it’s kinda cool that we have the ability to feel such a large range of emotions (some people definitely don’t!) anyway i completely understand your feelings but I’m not sure you necessarily need to ‘change’ the fact you’re sensitive (it’s not a bad thing🫶) but maybe you could try change your perspective
In terms of book recommendations, I personally love the perks of being a wallflower ( I read it about two years ago the first time and it’s one of my favourites, it really helped me see the world and myself in a different way, however could be triggering to some people so maybe do a bit of research before reading it just in case!)

Re: The poem spot
becoming her.
she lives inside my daydreams clear
a version bold and free from fear.
with steady voice and radiant eyes
she never dims she never hides.
she says what hurts and says what's true
she dances just because she wants to.
she wears her joy like second skin-
a queen within without the grin.
and though I'm not quite fully there
I feel her in the way I care.
each step I take each wall I burn-
brings me closer to her return.
shes not far off-she's made of me
and slowly I am setting her free.
