Also, block the people who are making hurtful comments, I presume it's some people in your family who are making these comments, the last thing you need right now are people making hurtful comments towards you in already pretty stressful time for you.
@so_very_tired Thank you, I really appreciate your support. It means a lot, and I’ll definitely try to focus on the positive and block out the negativity.
Re: Anybody want to vent or chat about anything? (Triggering stuff edition) w/c 27.10.25
@Lottie5433 Please continue to let us know how you're feeling, we hear that the urges to hurt yourself are really strong right now to cope with the thoughts.
Is there anyway you can perhaps spend some time with your pup or be in the room with your boyfriend? I know that has been really helpful for you in the past, even if it might feel hard to choose right now. We're all here for you, and we believe in you!
@Leyla the urges are still strong. Trying to be crafty at home in my room whilst my boyfriend is at work but it’s kinda hard to do any crafts that I want without think about my thoughts anyway
Re: I can't get help for severe depression
Thank you @Nemuritai that's very kind of you, I will spare everyone from my venting I've done enough of that recently 😅.
@mai I'm so sorry that happened to you, and I can imagine being told to colour in wasn't very helpful, and definitely doesn't replace professional support, and I can hear your frustrations too with the system. It really feels like a tough position to be in, but you aren't alone!
We are also here for both of you as well

Re: I can't get help for severe depression
i completely get your frustration @Jack25 with being discharged for being too suicidal as i had a fairly similar experience to that with a psychologist - i got discharged for being too high risk (suicidal thoughts & self harm) and left with 0 support, she advised me that i could go to the library and colour in to replace the professional support though…
it’s such a ridiculous system, you deserve better than that ! we’re always here for you !

Re: Anybody want to vent or chat about anything? w/c 27.10.25
I got an actual interview for a Tesco delivery driver. Im just worried about because I have only got an auto licence it might change things and then getting general. I don’t know if I can take rejection again.
