Goodbye everyone
It was inevitable, wasn’t it? It was fun while it lasted, but it didn’t last very long. I wish I could stay, but oh well. I might post a poem and some photos I took today to the creative corner still.

College and discrimination
I know I’ve been posting a lot about my FND recently and I am sorry but themix is all that I really have but anyway this is to due with my college the college won’t let me come back in because of my FND but they have 3 other students with FND and they are aloud to attend I was aloud to attend for 2 days and then they said I couldn’t come back and I was so upset I hustled started crying as soon as my mum got off the phone I had a feeling in my stomach and as soon as she got off the phone my mum said you can’t go to college and I just bursted into tears and after crying and shouting I just shutdown and I kept saying to myself in my head I just want my life back my auntie was really upset with the college so was most of my family so my auntie emailed them and we feel like the college is discriminating against me as there are 3 other students with FND who are aloud to attend so my mum has got a meeting with the manager tomorrow hopefully the last one and hopefully good news because I should still deserve to have a life even with FND I just want my life back
Re: Mental Health Awareness Week 2025
Three cheers for the Community!!
Hmm, Community matters because it gives people a chance to feel connections to others regardless of their personal situation, and connections like that can save lives and give people hope.
Community to me means safety in numbers, where as long as you have other people around then you can feel safe and unified knowing you have each others' backs
Top tips? Be yourself! Genuinely, people like it when they can see some of your personality. Whether it's how you type, the emojis you use, the references you make. It all brings something unique and personal to the Community and makes it feel authentic. Be open too! You may or see things you didn't know could even exist in people's lives, but it is someone else's reality and it deserves to be respected. It will make you feel more able to be honest too if you are open when speaking to others

I think the mods might kick me please help
As I mentioned in a post before, I live in Portugal, but I grew up in the UK, and my life has been terrible since moving back. This is why I decided to use a UK site. But the mods just sent me a message about that, and I’m scared they’ll kick me out. Please help me. This place has been so good for me even in the short time I’ve been here. For the first time in so long I feel genuinely human. Where else am I going to find a place like this, with a community like this and professional moderation? Please, if you can advocate for me. I want to stay here and contribute and talk to you all 
I don’t know what I’d do without this place. I’ve been getting better but if that happens I think I’ll be worse than ever.
I don’t mean to create drama or division or turn people against the mods, they seem to be genuinely nice people. I know there’s some controversy about some recent changes to the site but I think what they’ve made here is beautiful and vital. It’s just that I’m scared and this place has quickly become important to me and I don’t want to leave. I have no where else where I can talk about the stuff that is happening to me without judgement.

Re: your doing your best 💓
just bc you’re struggling in silence it doesn’t mean that your struggles do not exist. your struggles are valid no matter how invisible it is to the world.
