scared about turning 18
although my 18th birthday is 8-9 months away i cant help but feel scared about becoming a legal adult. i know 18 is not much different from being 17 but from a legal standpoint it changes quite significantly. by then ill be in adult mental health services along with me dropping out of college so that i can get a job. my care coordinator says that ill most likely be in the enhanced primary care team which is sort of a middle ground between GPs and CMHTs (community mental health teams). but i dont know, i feel like being in secondary care would be better because theyll be more extensive support. thats just a matter that i have to discuss with my camhs team for now.
this is a little reminder 🌟
this is a little reminder that the light you bring to the world is needed so much more in times of darkness. pls keep sharing your generous heart without fear. there are so many ppl out there who rely on the magic you create and the kindness you spread. you could be the reason someone smiles today. the reason someone pauses and takes a deep breath. you never know who needs to be touched by a heart like yours. so pls keep spreading your light. you bring so much to this world pls keep going. you matter

My friend
I keep on messing up my relationship with my friend. His ptsd gets severely triggered by feeling ignored, and I keep on reading his message and then not answering him, wether I get distracted or something else. I keep on saying I’ll do better, but I don’t seem to. I feel awful about this. I know how it feels to be the friend that everyone picks last, the one no one actually likes, and I hate that I’ve made him feel like that consistently. So I think I’m taking a break from other social media to focus on repairing our relationship. Because he’s been there for me, and then I haven’t been there for him, while he’s battling homelessness and severe depression. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

tw// alcohol mention ( death mention too )
tw (alcohol mention. death and health issues related to alcohol.)
i have started my old antipsychotic medication and hoping they can help stable things out for me but im just rly exhausted. i’m dealing with huge health issues too bc of things that have happened so im struggling with that and all the tests but im also struggling with flashbacks from my mum passing away due to alcohol too. i rly miss her bc she was my everything but now i have nothing.
life is rly hectic for me rn especially with christmas next month then my birthday too im just rly stressed abt that even though its in december
. i am rly exhausted but i just also feel bad bc i am not supporting anyone and it just is making me rly down and feeling so shit. helping ppl makes me feel gd abt myself and bc i enjoy supporting others so i feel like my gd is never gd enough 
.
i feel rly stupid for typing this bc it’s not important nor is it worth a reply. it’s just me being stupid and talking abt things worrying me but it’s not important and im rly sry i have posted this.

hi! < 3
hello,
I'm lu, I'm 20 y/o, and I currently use they/them pronouns ♡
I've suffered with mental illness for a long time. I have a diagnosis of BPD with psychotic features, some anxiety disorders, bulimia nervosa + atypical anorexia, and depression (i'm also neurodivergent!- I have ASD, ADHD, and a tic disorder). albeit, I'm currently in recovery and looking forward to getting better (:
I'm mostly here to try and connect with people who struggle with similar issues. It sucks feeling alone

i lost one of my best friends (cw: pet death, grief)
last wednesday i very suddenly had to have one of my cats put down. her name was orion and she was only 7 years old.
my heart is completely broken. she was one of my best friends. i can't believe she's gone, and so suddenly. i thought i'd get to have another 10 years with her at least. i hate that she was probably suffering for who knows how long and we didn't realise until it was too late.
she was so sweet and warm and cuddly. i'll miss having her asleep on my lap while i play video games. orion was so affectionate and our other cat isn't, and it's difficult having to adjust to that. it's difficult having to adjust to her absence in general. the house feels empty without her.
after we went to the vet and she was euthanised, whenever i went to pet her i kept expecting her to move or make a noise but she just never did. i wish i'd been able to get more time with her when we were at the vet before she was euthanised but i was in so much distress i couldn't communicate or think properly. the image of her struggling and her body on the vet's table will be burned into my mind forever. i just hope she knows we were there with her at the end and that we love her.

Remembrance Day - 2 minute silence.
As many of you know, today is Remembrance Day
Shortly at 11am, we’ll be taking a 2-minute break from our boards to pause, reflect, and remember those who gave their lives in conflict.
Feel free to take this moment with us- step away, honour the silence and peace which we hope that the many sacrifices will have brought.
Have a good morning all.
