I have been in touch with The Samaritans via text for the past two days now but I feel too afraid to share things with them, especially via text or email
You can talk here, if you wanted. There is also other organisations and support forums around.
Also if you go to your GP, they may refer you onto somebody you could talk to about things.
I have to wait for the assessment appointment and see what they decide from there, if anything :S xx
Everyone who uses TheSite deserves support, and for people to care about them, your not different. Sometimes when we are struggling, we can be hard on ourselves, and talk down about ourselves. So I know what you may think about yourself, may seem real to you, it's not the case.
Hope that makes sense.
Hopefully when you get your assessment appointment you can hopefully start to move forward and get the support you need & deserve.
It's good that you've been texting the Samaritans. What worries you about sharing things with them?
Everyone here tries their best to ensure everyone feels supported as much as we can
You still have some time before the appointment - I wonder if any of the tips from the website I posted in one of your previous threads were useful for you?
Doc Ready might also be a handy tool, if you think writing things down before you go might help
The thing is as well though I really don't feel that I deserve any help or support and if I did deserve It, I would have had it in some way by now :S
That does make sense and I do understand that thank you, I guess it's just hard to accept.
It just worries me and makes me feel cautious so easily. I am afraid of looking stupid, pathetic and like a big baby to others
I don't feel worth the time because I am stupid, pathetic and a big baby etc who is clearly selfish and doesn't care about anyone, or even herself! Yet the truth is, I care a lot about anyone and everyone else a lot more than what I do in fact care about myself
I will try DocReady to try to help me prepare and perhaps get a list written ready for the appointment.
The appointment is 10 days away today :S

I have been on such a long and difficult journey already and understand how long it is and how long it takes, unfortunately
Thank you for that, I guess I'll have to at least try to believe that. x
*hug*s
I'm glad it helped
I don't think those things of you at all, and seeing you posting around the boards supporting others, and reaching out for support yourself, shows that you do care for yourself and others :yes:
A list sounds like a great idea - deep breaths, you still have time *hug*
I do still have some time to write a list down though those 10 days are bound to go pretty quickly in a way, which is both a good and bad thing :S
Deep breaths is something I need to do actually to calm down since I'm still teary at the moment
Thank you x
If you think deep breaths will help give it a go and let us know how you get on *hug*
Do you think support chat tonight will help you let off some steam?
If I am able to, then I may go into support chat and see if/how/whether it helps me. I have never tried Support Chat before but maybe I could give it a go
I will certainly try taking deep breaths and seeing how I get on with that.
A couple of things down a day to write down does sound like something which may help better than writing it all at once.x
I just wanted to reach out to you with *hug* s.
I really hope things get better for you!
Thanks apandav
Thank you so much Amanda, I hope so too! I really do *hugs* x
Wanna chat?

Worrying about appointment.
😰💔😐😕xx
That all sounds very difficult for you. I'm sorry to hear your going through all that.
I generally wish I could be more helpful but I kind of dont know what to say. Just know we care and we are here for you *hug*s
Please don't say that, you are being helpful by listening to me and showing me that others do care, even though I often feel that nobody cares, understands or even likes me xx
We all care
I know you all do, thank you, it's just hard to believe and accept as I haven't felt cared for/cared about in so long x
