Well done @eylah, that's a huge achievement and we're so proud of you 
Re: i hit 4 months free from sh ( tw ) sh.
Wow a huge well done @eylah ! This is a big milestone and shows your strength, courage and persistence. I can imagine it hasn't always been easy, and it's okay if some days feel tougher than others, but what matters is you're choosing to keep going. This is incredible!

Re: Anybody want to vent or chat about anything? w/c 01.12.25
@Nemuritai I am so sorry to hear that. It sounds like things feel really heavy right now. I’m here to listen if you would like to talk about it.
I really appreciate it @Ech0, thank you for being here. I kind of broke down earlier to be honest but I think I'm feeling calmer now, I can't really say I'm okay but I'm getting through the evening and made a coffee which always makes me feel a tiny bit better (I really like coffee if you couldn't tell heh). I really appreciate you checking in, it means a lot. I do hope you're doing alright
Hi Nemuritai,
Thank you for sharing more about how you are feeling, I understand it can be difficult to explain your thoughts, you’ve done great to open up.
I can see that you are feeling a little calmer and have come up with some great self care ideas like drinking a hot drink. Whilst I understand little things like this can help it’s totally understandable if that doesn’t seem to fix everything.
If you are ever struggling, please do reach out. I know you’ve mentioned you will access the support threads which is great and you can also text Shout on 85258.

Im rlly sick, almost 40deg fever, took paracetamol and it is 39.4c, i was gonna go to the doctor at 7pm to get it checked out and fot reassurance but as my normal gp was closed i had an appointment somewhere far, and my mum didn't take me and just yelled at me instead
Hey @PetiteQuark it sounds like you’ve not been feeling well lately and it’s understandable that you’d be feeling overwhelmed, especially when you’re concerned about what might be causing your symptoms. I see you’ve had some great reassurance so far but if you are still worried about it, getting advice from a medical professional is a great idea. You could reach out to NHS 111 by calling them or clicking on this link:https://111.nhs.uk/. They will be able to offer you support for your symptoms.

Re: Just don't want to be here anymore
Hey @Invisible_me, thank you for sharing this with us. I can hear how it's difficult to keep taking steps forward - you're trying your best to struggle through, and we're here to support you along the way even when it feels challenging. It sounds like having a routine would be helpful, but that your work situation makes this difficult. I hope you're able to get more certainty around work, and that your manager comes around to being more supportive of your capabilities. How do you feel talking to your manager about this? Is there someone else at work that might be more receptive to discussing this and the support you could receive?
