Best Of

@Nemuritai no worries about the late reply, I feel like we are all so busy these days. I am happy that sharing my experience could help you.

Wishing you all the best on your journey.

@so_very_tired it might be hard but dont be so harsh on yourself mate, you made a mistake we all do it and people have done way worse. You said you didn't intend to come across how you did too, you were trying to help, you have apologised, taken responsibility, thats all you can do. You're accepting it was wrong. We are a forgiving community. I've said not the best things here myself at times but Ive been forgiven. Im sorry to hear that you’re deleting your account, we will miss you as I said but we respect your decision and if you wanted to pop back in the future you'll be welcome to. Please remember whatever you have said or done, you are worthy.

Here's some services if you need

hi @bignosegirly0 - this sounds like a tricky position and mindset to be in. so first of all i hope you're doing okay this morning.

You certainly aren't alone in how you feel right now - and it is completely okay to feel frustrated at the time it is taking for you to see the progression you want from working out and stuff. But even though it may seem like it's taking a long time, the fact you are keeping at it and not giving up shows the progression you are making, even if it isn't always visible at first glance. The journey isn't always a straight linear one, but your determination is what is admirable and will hopefully get you to where you want to be, and a place where you feel happy, healthy and confident in who you are.

Unfortunately these things do take time sometimes, but I can assure you that at every point of this journey, from where you started to wherever you end up, you are a beautiful person inside and out.

Sending lots of hugs

wow i actually had a childline counsellor who actually listened to my problems. 🤯
dont mind me using the boards at 3am lol.

I know, it's hard to know what you'll get when you speak to childline, it can kind of go either way. In any case, I'm glad you spoke to someone helpful.

thanks, yeah it depends on who you get really. how was your sleep?

Hi, I didn't see this until just now sry 💙 Not too bad, thx - did you get any sleep?

@toffuna101 yes, I have! I write diary entries, and I especially love writing japanese poetry 💙 I'll try and put a photo here so you can see (hopefully this loads hehe)

thats impressive. what does it say?

I don't think I can translate it here since it's quite dark to be honest - most of my poems are, it's just kind of therapeutic to write my feelings out when I'm feeling low 💙

fair enough. have you used duolingo before to learn more japanese? i heard its pretty good.

Yes, that's where I started learning japanese actually ^^ then after a year or so I progressed on to textbooks and consuming more native-level material 💙 Out of curiosity, where did you start learning russian?

my parents both know russian so i kind of just learnt it from them. i didnt take russian as a gcse because i can understand it but i cant really read or write it which sucks. they did say back then that i would receive tutoring, but honestly even with tutoring i dont think i can even get a 4 for foundation russian because its quite hard for me to learn it in the first place. so i didnt take it.

Oh, I see. To be fair, I've heard russian is quite a hard language, so it's definitely not just you. Though if you ever decide to start learning I wish you luck 💙
