Re: 19M looking for friends

@JMMV2005 and @eylah how have you been recently 🫶

i currently have 3 days left until i go for my operation so im feeling nervous but also grateful that it’s actually happening (it’s already been postponed once because i got ill so i was really scared that was gonna happen again). apart from that I’ve been feeling a bit lonely recently and kinda like im falling behind in school a little bit

i hope you guys are going alright❤️

Re: Not feeling confident

Hey @TheNightmare I completely understand and empathize with you right now as I’m in the exact same boat so if you ever need a chat or to off load don’t hesitate to pm me. It’s frustrating I know but you’re not alone

Re: im trying to keep going 😕

Hey @eylah , thank you for letting us know. It sounds so overwhelming right now, and I'm sorry that you haven't been able to get through to a helpline just yet. I can hear how much you're trying to seek help and keep safe. It's horrible to hear that helpline staff have been nasty to you - that's not okay, and no one has a right to talk to you like that

.

Can I ask, do you feel able to keep yourself safe this evening? Alongside trying to connect in with a helpline, is there anything else you can think of that might help you to feel safer in yourself?

May I also ask when you're next due to have contact with your solo worker? It's really positive to hear they're actively trying to arrange more support for you, @eylah . What you've had to endure recently is utterly overwhelming, and you're doing your very, very best to get through.

I totally echo what @TheNightmare 's said above - we're here for you
