Re: Is it ok that I don't like getting the bus?
I don’t like the bus, and i especially don’t like standing about waiting for the bus, but it’s the only way I can get around while also maintaining my independence. I will get a lift if the buses are awkward or it’s absolutely pissing down with rain, but otherwise I get it. I don’t like it hugely though, being cramped in with 40 sweaty people isn’t that fun 
Re: Having a parent who hoards
@AnonymousToe I'm so sorry you experienced something really scary but I'm glad no one was hurt 
Just to say that you're totally valid to feel this way. Can I ask why you feel you shouldn't share it with anyone? Would you find it helpful to feel able to talk more about the situation?
I also definitely hear you when you say it doesn't feel right to be leaving right now. But hopefully a bit of space will be a positive for you, and you'll still be able to be there for your sister emotionally when and if she does need you. Sometimes we think physically being there is as important as emotional support, but I would guess that having you as someone who empathises and understands is an important thing that brings comfort, and that won't change.
I think it's often really common to maybe feel a sense of guilt when your own situation changes, so please try not beat yourself up about that as going to uni is a huge thing in itself to celebrate.

Re: I miss you 💔
@Rose113 I’m so sorry to hear that today is a difficult day for you. It’s clear that your friend meant a lot to you, and it’s wonderful that you’re taking the time to express your feelings. Writing letters like this can be a powerful way to process emotions and honor the memory of loved ones
I hope you find comfort in knowing that your feelings are valid and that this person will always be with you in memory.

If you need someone to talk to, remember Cruse is a great charity to use if you want to process and understand your grief- they have a helpline and also offer in-person support- https://www.cruse.org.uk/get-support/local-services/
