Re: Anybody want to vent or chat about anything? w/c 02.03.26
I’ve just had a moment of clarity, in the shower of all places. That a conversation needs to be had with someone, not with a goal in mind, but full and brutal honesty. I’m done pretending things are fine. But i need to sit with my own thoughts first, maybe even write them down, work out how i picture my side of the chat going.

hey guys
So I have this girl in my class and she’s being rude and seeing I smell like fish
There is this other girl I have been friends, but S1 and and drama group that I’m annoying
I was kinda hoping that my cancer would kill me so I don’t have to face those girls again but I think it’s to late for that I was just cured.
I really hate this but I really want to end my life
I just can’t do this any more with these girls
My dad doesn’t care, my mum is using the excuse that she is just had surgery
My sister is also a bully
Re: Anybody want to vent or chat about anything? w/c 23.02.26
I’m feeling a bit rubbish and i can’t put my finger on why. I’ve had a good day, went for coffee with a friend and we made a nice dinner. I’m absolutely exhausted but idk if that’s the problem. Maybe a good sleep will help. Lots going on in my head at the moment. Very easily overwhelmed by things.
And it kinda makes me feel a bit sad that once the changes (IYKYK) come in I won’t be able to post this kind of thing at this time. It’s quiet and I wouldn’t message anyone directly because i have nothing specific to rant about.

Going into hospital looking like i normally do only to effectively get diagnosed with ugly 🤣 Ouch.
But in fairness they were really nice there, and i actually find it funny more than anything else.

Re: Self-Harm Awareness Day - March 1st
I wish people understood that people don’t self harm for attention. I have never heard of someone who does this. If people were, why would self harm be such a taboo topic and why do people feel the need to hide it? Sure, for some people it could be a massive cry for help but people don’t do it for no reason - there is something there, something they need support with
30 minutes a day being creative
so this is sort of a post mainly to make me accountable for obtaining a DBT short term goal of being creative for 30 minutes a day.
I used to be creative a lot growing up whether that was drawing or photography I always am doing something creative. But over the last few years since college I stopped being creative and that was due to time.
So each day or at the end of a week I’ll post what I’ve been doing.

Upcoming March Workshops - Rest and Friendships
Hey everyone, how are you doing?
We are excited to announce that the Staff Team are going to trying out something new for you in March by hosting X2 interactive Workshops for you to come along to.
The first will take place on Friday 20th March (timing tbc) and will be all about Making Connections
- Do you find it anxiety-inducing to make new friends, or talk to new people?
- Are you hoping to build more IRL connections beyond Community?
- We're going to host an interactive workshop via Chatwee where we'll talk together about the ins and outs of making new friends, offering tips and tricks on where to begin.
- Please bring along pen and paper and be ready to get involved in chatting via typing
The second will take place on Saturday 28th March 3:00 - 4:30pm and will be all about Rest and Self-Care
- Do you struggle to relax?
- Every tried to rest, but end up feeling even more tired and de-motivated afterwards?
- This workshop will be a space to think together about psychologist Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith's model of the 7 Types of Rest, and how we can better attune our self-care to our own needs
- We'll also work through an activity together where we will help you identify some of your core values, helping you tailor your self-care plans to the things that really matter to you!
If you'd like to come along, simply show up on Chatwee on the day using our usual Chat links. No prior sign-up required.

Apology I guess.
I am so sorry, lately and well ever since I even joined this community I have been constantly making mistakes when I'm talking about things, trying to protect myself in a way but probably not so in the best way. I apologise to everyone here, and I guess I need to learn to stop protecting myself in such way.
Maybe I don't deserve a place in this community.
