Re: Anybody want to vent or chat about anything?
@eylah appreciate it. It means more to me than you know right now.
Re: Anybody want to vent or chat about anything?
@DonnerKebab im already existing, ive never lived
@River but it's about hope of things improving too. Plus developing emotionally. It's all stopped with emotional numbness if it's severe enough. I know you have never really lived, but that doesn't mean you won't ever be able to. But emotional numbness creates an additional barrier, if that makes sense, that needs to be overcome for that to happen.
Re: Anybody want to vent or chat about anything?
@DonnerKebab even better, I won’t feel a thing
@River i thought that for a long time, but it gets to you. It's no way to live. It stops any emotional development, improving and advancing, it juts stops. It's just existing.

My older brother was gonna sell it, so i decided to throw him a few hundred for it like a few months back, just in case i did get driving one day and got my license.
I spent most of my life as a carer for my brother because of his violent meltdowns, and within a short period of his meltdowns no longer effecting my mum (eg. he doesn't attack her anymore), i'm no longer needed and start getting threatened with being kicked out. Sucks.
Anyway Redemption, i really do appreciate your kind words. It's just a tricky situation for me, but I'll land on my feet. And I know you would mate, I'd do the same for you too friend if you ever needed help. Appreciate it.
@DonnerKebab cool bro, could be a good project restoring it and getting it on the roads. I hope you can pass your test at some point soon. I just hope I don't sound ungrateful talking about some if my issues because sometimes they might be minor like I know stuff for you is so hard. It all sounds so tough, things will get better.

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?
