Re: Anybody want to vent or chat about anything?
@River everybody has moments of weakness. There's nothing foolish about you. What you have is a serious struggle causing SH. Feeling like a fool is normal, but that's like saying everybody in a hospital is a fool for getting sick, or for needing help.
Security might have done. But they didn't. They just want to take care of you and get you help and resources. It must have felt scary and worrying for you at the time, and i'm sorry that it's been so hard for you. You truly deserve better. Overthinking is normal. Feeling like a fool is normal, but your not. You're just struggling and are a warrior for still pushing through.

@River never worry about dumping a lot on me. You've helped me a lot, i'm here to help you too friend. Please don't keep everything bottled up. It isn't good for you in the long run. I'm here to vent to and just to get things of your chest.
Re: Anybody want to vent or chat about anything?
@Redemption you do give a lot of support mate. You don't give yourself enough credit for it. You really did help me in the men's support chat, and i really did mean what i said about you being an awesome person. You just need to give yourself some more credit bro. You give huge amounts of support.
Re: christianity
Hi @toffuna101, thank you for sharing this with us. I can hear how you're thinking about your faith and looking at switching to another branch of Christianity. How do you feel about potentially switching over to becoming a Protestant?
I think you've done the right thing by contacting a faith-based helpline, as they can provide you with guidance on how it works, the rules of switching branches etc. I hope that your visit to the church goes well and gives you the answers you're looking for. We're here to listen to you!

Re: Just need some help
Hi @Marst, thank you for sharing your experience with us here. It's not a bother, it's not silly, and it's not a waste of time - you deserve to be heard and your feelings matter!
It sounds like these feelings of anxiety are weighing a lot on your mind, and I can hear how difficult this has been for you, especially with other events such as arguments at home. It's entirely fair to need more support, and I'm glad to hear that you've taken the step to speak to your parents and attend a therapy session to talk about your feelings. You're taking good steps, keep taking things one at a time. This didn't happen in a day, so it'll take some time to work through the feelings, but hopefully you'll see steady improvements in aspects of your life.
Of course, please do let us know how you're getting on as you go through this journey. We're here to support you and listen to you!

Re: Dizzy spells??
Hi @Invisible_me, just wanted to check in on how you're feeling today?
Echoing the above, it's a good idea to speak to a GP about this, preferably before another episode happens so that you can work out what's going on and prevent further episodes happening. It's important to get some sound medical advice from the professionals and rule out anything serious.

Hey @eylah I just wanted to check how you are today?
Re: Just need some help
Hi, welcome! You’re not bothering anyone and it’s not a waste of our time for you to share how you feel 
well done for sharing. I think you’re doing all the right things - speaking to your parents and the therapy. It won’t all ‘go away’ immediately so don’t be disheartened if it takes a little while for things to improve. It doesn’t mean it won’t ever get better.
I’m not sure what to say but as someone who struggles with social anxiety, I really feel you. You’ve got this. Take baby steps and do little things that feel slightly uncomfortable but possible. Everything will be ok, people don’t notice the little things you’re doing as much as you think they do, and then hopefully over time you’ll learn that it’s safe to do things in front of people.
