Diwali Celebrations!
Hello all!
Happy Diwali to all who might celebrate. If you don't know what Diwali is, then it is a festival of lights over 5 days which celebrates the triumph of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance and good over evil.
Even if you don't celebrate this, it spreads a lovely message and can be a great time to celebrate the light in your life even in small ways!
For this, we want to see your photographs with lights at the centre! Whether this is a photo of a sunset or rise, candles, fairy lights, lanterns, fireworks.
Anything you can think of which involves light!
My picture is one I took when I went to Birmingham to meet up with some friends of a fountain with pretty lights!

Re: Anybody want to vent or chat about anything? (Triggering stuff edition) w/c 20.10.25
Think I just going to give up with any “support” nothing helps and I’m failing everything/everyone.
I’ve stopped my medication because it doesn’t work
Not going to peer support anymore no point in going
Going to email CEDT and Mh team and just tell them to take me off their records I don’t need them as I’m just wasting their time - they have other people that are worse off than me to see so might as well give up my place.
I just want to get in my car and drive don’t know where I’ll end up but anything is better than this

I've decided I'm just going to have to resort to numbness and disassociation to get by at the moment. And not having here for a week does worry me. But it is what it is... and this is post number 9999 so I'm off to the GC thread to make the 10,000th before I go lol

@shannon_164 I'm really sorry to hear that. I do hope everything turns out okay and you get the support that you deserve

not entirely sure if this is the right thread or not but i’m aware it could possibly be triggering to some people so just in case:)
i have my assessment for potential counselling in 30 mins - the service already has said they’re unlikely to be able to help due to the info on the referral as my risk levels are too high for them (suicidal thoughts & self harm etc) but i really hope they can help as i am desperate rn
