Re: struggling worse than ever !!tw!!
Hi @struggling0_0 , thank you so much for making this post. It sounds like things have gotten to a point now where they're very overwhelming and life is totally exhausting you. I hear you saying you just don't want to be here anymore. You want everything to stop. And you're feeling so uncared for and isolated. We hear you.
Can I ask, when you say that the ED thoughts are getting bad, would you feel safe to share a little bit more about what this looks like for you?
In terms of those SH urges too, how else might you be able to express your feelings right now more safely? I wonder if there are any coping tools that have felt supportive in the past for you? I can imagine those urges might feel really all-consuming and again, that sounds really distressing for you right now. I can see how things are bubbling up and over and its so much to cope with.
Thank you for letting us know you're physically safe, though I recognise that doesn't take away from the severity of what you're dealing with and how serious these feelings are.
Can I ask, how are you practically staying safe right now? What is helping you to do so?

It's that or the streets and as 23 year old guys, there isn't any help out there for us. We are back of the queue mate. Not eligible for emergency accommodation or anything like that from even the council.
Worst case scenario, she snaps again, i'll leave and just sleep in my car. It's SORN if you know what that means. Just as a safe place to sleep for the night for as long as i need.
@DonnerKebab I know it's tough. I'm so sorry what you're going through, I feel like crying over it. Yh I know what SORN means, like legally off the road, that's what I would have to worse case scenario, hopefully I never have issues that bad to get thrown out, I don't think my family would do it. Anyway im so so sorry, tbh I know it's an online community but if I was able to and you had no where to go I'd take you in like if I had my own house and space for you. I'm so sorry. I didnt know you had a car, I thought you hadn't passed your test yet, have you passed or is it to learn in?
struggling worse than ever !!tw!!
hi. i’m in a worse headspace than ever. i simply don’t want to be here anymore. i’m so so tired of life. everything just feels worse. sh urges are bad, ed thoughts are bad. i’m tired. so so tired. i feel like the only option is to not be here anymore. nobody cares about me anyways. i just want to lock myself away in a dark room alone forever.
*im safe. i have no plans. i have no intentions*

Re: Anybody want to vent or chat about anything?
The only way for me to stop feeling pain is to stop expressing how I feel and showing emotion so from now on I will not be showing emotion or expressing how I feel; banning myself 🙃
@River sorry, but might not be the best idea. You'll go emotionally numb after a long time, and it's hard to undo emotional numbness friend. And thank you for your kind words earlier River in the support chat.

i can’t deal with 20 degrees let alone 40!!
