    I've given up on wanting to get better now I think.. I think I gave up a while ago, there's no point wanting the impossible.
    Instead of wanting to get better, I simply want it to be over

    I really think that leaving the world is a good idea. I'm struggling to keep myself safe and my mental health has turned to shit. I can't cope anymore. Existing is painful

    Hi

    Have you any support in place? What exactly is painful to exist? It may help to expand on that so we can better understand your situation?

    I'm sorry to hear you are struggling remember there are people who can help. Have you visited your gp or contacted your local community mental health team? There is also Samaritans that can provide emotional support?

    Sending hugs your way

    Hey,
    I don't have any support in place, no.
    Everything just hurts, waking up hurts, getting through each day hurts. Knowing I'm never going to get better and I'm never going to be okay hurts.
    I can't go to the GP and I don't even know who my local community mental health team are.

    *hug* thank you

    Hey hiccup, lots of us care and find it hard to know how low you're feeling on a day-two-day basis.

    Try to remember that we take all expressions of suicidal feeling seriously, so if your mind is constantly leading you to thoughts of an end, then the more you say about what's leading to that struggle, the better able we'll be to provide you with good support.

    Going to a GP can be really tough and so I completely understand there may be valid reasons for resisting that option. In terms of mental health services, are you still of Camhs age and is this something you'd be willing to consider?

    Hey,
    Sorry had a break for a while.

    My comment wasn't aimed at people on here, I meant like people around me and friends and things.

    I'm not of camhs age anymore, no

    Thank you, it did a little bit, but it also gave me a lot of time to think which is never good.

    I'll be okay, thank you for asking *hug*

    Hey Hiccup.

    Having a break can help sometimes, but I fully relate to having a lot of time to think about things, do you want to chat about those things, maybe talking about them could help you understand things a little bit more.

    Hey,
    I'm not sure. I've just been getting a lot worse lately and I didn't even realise that was possible. I've pushed nearly everyone away because I just can't face people anymore.

    Thanks for your reply ❤️

    Hey deary,

    I'm really sorry to hear that you're feeling worse recently :(

    Is there anything specific that you want to talk about? Has something happened that has caused these feelings to worsen?

    You are so very strong and I genuinely believe that you will bounce back from this stronger than ever. I have every faith that you absolutely can and I will never doubt you even for a second. You deserve so much more than this, you deserve an enormous amount of happiness and you'll find it eventually, just keep trying to hang in there, you're doing so well.

    Keep talking to us, post whenever you want or need to, we'll always be here to listen *hug*

    Hey lovely,

    I'll be okay, I mean.. It has to get better at some point right?

    I don't even know what's happened, I just feel a lot worse and alone. I'm not really needed anywhere, I'm not wanted at home until parents want money or something. It's just a struggle, I feel so useless and like I'll never be enough for them.

    I'm really not as strong as you think I am. Thank you though, I promise I'm trying to keep going, it's just rather hard lately.

    *hug*

    The fact that you're thinking like that proves just how strong you are! It's unimaginably hard to even want to have that particular attitude yet her you are actually doing it, thinking so positively during what's one of the hardest things that someone can go through, that being depression.

    I'm so proud of you! *hug*

    Those thoughts didn't last long, but I'm still trying..

    I got rid of everything today.. All my blades, my lighters, my stash of other things, but now I feel really lost and panicky and I don't know what to do.
    I know I needed to get rid of them to try and get better, but now I'm just a bit of a mess.

    That's another really positive and brave step! When you do get through this awful time in your life, you're going to be such an inspiration to so many other people! I really can imagine that you're already inspiring others with how incredibly brave you're being.

    Feeling lost is probably a really common reaction sweetie, no longer having what you think you need and what you know can be such a scary thing but it most probably will ease with time.

    This is where you have the chance to turn those coping mechanisms into more positive ones, ones that aren't so dangerous. Have you had any ideas about what you could try?

    *hug*

    I don't really think I will be, I'm just another person really.

    I guess it was just kind of a comfort knowing they were there, knowing that if I did need them they were there. I know it's for the best because I'm a lot safer without them, it's just that they've always been there.

    I have a positivity scrapbook type thing that I've been doing a lot of lately, especially if I'm feeling down. Sometimes it helps just to look through it, but then at times it feels like it's all just lies too. Other than that, I'm not really sure what there is that I can do.

    *hug*

    Hey Hiccup,

    Just want to drop in and offer a hug *hug*

    How is your weekend going? What have you been up to? You deserve to focus on some self-care. Do some things that relax you, do some things you enjoy, take care of yourself.

    Thank you *hug*

    Weekend was rather shitty, I spent the weekend working which wasn't the greatest. Manager kept telling me everything was my fault, that I'm always in the way.. He may have been joking but it's still shit to hear especially when it's all you hear already.

    How are you getting on? *hug*

    I've not seen that manager again yet, we've been put on opposite shifts for a little while because I spoke to my other manager about how it was and how low it was making me feel.

    I'm not doing too well, but I'll be okay :) *hug*
