Looking for tips on fixing my under eyes
This photo was taken outside during a bright day. I don’t know whether they’re eyebags or dark circles. All I know is that I have a very thin skin layer under my eyes.
How do I get rid of them?
Re: wanting to give up
hey @Lottie5433 🙂
never worry about how long it takes you to reply - i know life can be busy and overwhelming and sometimes replying can feel hard and that is totally ok!
i hear how heavy that guilt and shame can feel, but please don’t be too hard on yourself - you deserve so much kindness! recovery isn’t a straight line, and slipping up doesn’t erase all the progress you’ve made - you’re still fighting, still here, and that matters. i’m really glad you reached out to shout and samaritans - that’s a huge step in itself as it can be super hard to do that, i am so so proud of you for that!
i hear you on feeling like you get more support online than in real life. that can be so isolating, but i hope you know you deserve real-life support too. even if the ed team and cmht have discharged you, that doesn’t mean you’re “fixed” or that you don’t still need care - it’s just unfortunate the uk has an awful mental health system, which is super unfair on people like you who is genuinely struggling and so deserving of support. seeing your gp sounds like a good move, even if last time wasn’t helpful, i hope they take you seriously this time and you get the support you need and are so so deserving of!
for what it’s worth, you are never ever a burden here, i mean that for sure. you don’t have to go through this alone, and im always here if you need to talk
