Best Of

Hey @Rose113 this sounds like such an uncertain and overwhelming time for you and your family. I can really empathise with the emotions you're going through here. Having someone you cherish go through a life changing illness is incredibly difficult. I hope you're able to lean on your family for emotional support and find small moments of comfort such as a favourite meal or snack, a show or film that makes you laugh, or whatever it is that makes things feel just a bit less heavy. Please keep posting and letting us know how you're doing and what's going on, we're here with you

You mean so much to the community too and just because you aren’t at board age anymore doesn’t mean we will forget you

I’m so sorry hon, don’t be scared love I’m right here for you please please message me anytime. You do not have to be alone in this I’ve said it before call me just to cry if you want but just know you are so strong and I’m here for you and I’m praying for you both ❤️❤️Xx

It is okay to recognise they can be helpful but, unfortunately, have not been helpful in your case @eylah. What would have helped looked like to you? We are really proud of you for being so brave in attending to hospital to get treatment for your sh! We really care about you and you deserve to be taken care of by the hospital staff.

You have shown so much courage in keeping sharing with us about how you are really feeling and what you are experiencing, despite not feeling supported or heard in other spaces. Is there anything which may help at the moment?

Hey there @eylah

I'm sorry to hear that the helplines you reached out to were useless. I can say from experience it's frustrating to reach out during a time where you already feel vulnerable to only feel either worse or neutral afterwards. Would you feel comfortable in sharing why you felt as though the helplines you reached out to were useless?

Also here's a website where you can type in your own information and find things local to you. If you feel up to it, it might be helpful to have a look around and see if there's anything that might sound useful to you
Reaching out for support repeatedly takes a lot of energy and strength, you're doing a solid job

@TheNightmare

It’s no problem at all, I hope you find something that works for you! Taking it one step at a time sounds like a good plan, the first step is always the hardest but so worth it in the end:)

I am sorry to hear that you are going through such a difficult time at the moment. You are being so brave. It's completely up to you whether you want to investigate further into the investigation as you know yourself better than anyone else. We are here with you though this if you do decide to. You deserve justice and not to be forgotten about. It's not okay what happened to you and should not be brushed aside like it has.

In terms of your sh are you managing to care for yourself afterwards? I.e applying antiseptic wipes or plasters to the area? Are you able to try and do something nice for yourself to distract yourself such as put on a film or have a nice bath?

I'll also attach some useful links to some apps that help with sh and ways of managing urges and your emotions

It's little steps but it's all progress @eylah so you should be proud of yourself! I hope the spaghetti bolognese is nice later
