Re: How am I supposed to heal
hey @Rose113 I just wanted to echo everything Gemma said. We're here for you and please keep reaching out when you feel in pain and need somewhere to turn 
I'm also glad you feel able to talk to your friend about the situation. It helps to have someone in your life to turn to and who can be there for you. I know you said you weren't too sure you could or even wanted to talk more about the incident, but I thought I would share some other places you can go to for support just in case if they would be helpful (now or in the future) or just if you needed someone else to talk to in more detail
so always feel like you can reach out here for some love and support

Re: Hi!!!
Hi @Snad
Firstly, welcome to The Mix, I'm glad you joined and it is great to have you here!
Thank you for reaching out, it sounds like you are going through a lot right now. But I think it is great you have taken to initiative to reach out and have done the self-test.
Would you feel comfortable sharing why you decided to do the self-test? You said you show a lot of symptoms. Are there struggles and difficulties you are having that impact your everyday life?
Just to clarify, when you are referring to "her" and "she", who is it, you are talking about?
Do you have any other support or someone else you feel comfortable talking to this about?
Best wishes,
Fiona.

Re: Still feeling anxious about things
Hi @TheNightmare
Thank you for reaching out, it sounds like you have a lot going on at the moment, but I'm glad you have taken the time to reflect and share.
Many people are struggling to find work at the moment, and as you said everyone is on their own path. It can be difficult and frustrating when you feel like things have not being going your way and seem to be for others. But everyone works at their own speed, different things happen for different people at various times in their lives.
Take each steps as they come. You have many goals, that you will eventually reach, although it may not seem like it at the moment. Things will happen for you, when they are suppose to and I'm glad you are hopeful for that time to come soon.
Please keep us updated on how things go, we wish you the best!
Take care,
Fiona ◡̈

Re: Preparing for uni
Hey @AnonymousToe,
It's a big time getting ready to go to uni and how you're feeling is totally understandable - it's such a big change! It sounds like you've planned for things really well though. I left home without even thinking about needing to learn to cook and lived on pasta bake for a year
you're already sounding much more prepared.
Just take one thing at a time - I think you have the right attitude towards it and that's the main thing!
Don't forget Uni can be fun too (once you get through all the newness and scariness of it)
You've got this!
