Re: How do I not look like shit when I step outside?
Morning @bignosegirly0 and nice to meet you. I don’t think we’ve ever met before on the boards!
I’m sorry to hear that you’re struggling with looking different when you’re inside and outside I think it’s really a light thing I think when you’re outside things become a lot clearer and you can see things more easily. Have you spoken to anybody about your worries around how you look? I think that you’re doing great and that it can be really hard sometimes to like compare yourself but just keep being you and your awesomeness will shine through
Sending hugs

Re: (Mentions of suicidal ideation) What the fuck is wrong with me?
I'm so sorry to hear you're struggling with such heavy and difficult feelings @bignosegirly0
We're here for you, and you absolutely do deserve to be heard and valued. Echoing what's written above, perhaps this feeling of detachment is a way of your mind coping with these fears and emotions?
Sending hugs

Re: im trying to keep going 😕
Hey @eylah, thanks for keeping us posted. That sounds really hard, and it makes so much sense that while a part of you is enjoying the independence, it also feels very lonely to be on your own now. Both those things can absolutely be true at once, and it feels really huge that you're in your new flat now after all these months of waiting. It's such a big change, and it feels really special that we can be a small part of that with you here 
When you're lonely, what do you feel you crave most or need?
Also, are there any little corners or bits of your new flat that you enjoy? I'd love to hear more about your new home if you wanted to describe it to us a bit
