    Hey @Salix_alba_2019 it sounds like you are struggling a lot at the moment and are in crisis, can I just ask if you feel safe at the moment?  <3

    You mentioned Samaritans or the crisis line aren't helpful, but is there anyone who you could contact?  If you felt you were unsafe it may be a good option to present at A+E. 

    If you would like to create a separate thread to talk about anything, then you are completely welcome to do so.  :)
    Hello Jade

    I am safe at this moment in time 

    I just got off the phone with a friend and it was enough to shift me out of the state that I was in. I didn't tell her about my mental being, instead, I brushed over briefly just because she's my dear friend and not a mental health professional. 

    If there as an alternative to A&E I would consider it because of the current corona climate and all. 

    I'll think about a thread, either way I feel better!

    Salix :)

    Humour is a default for me, even when things are bad. I do have a problem allowing myself to feel negative emotions because I'm scared that it will stay and I'll end up in a dark hole again.

    I haven't dissociated as much as I did yesterday but the agitation persisted. physically and emotionally I feel a lot calmer, I'm really hoping that it will stay that way. Knowing how crisis works, if I'm in a particular stay for more than 2 days it's a red flag. 

    I'm going to stay hopeful

    2. Period Pain
    3. Carpet Burn
    4. The time I injured my elbow at ice skating
    5. The time I injured my hip at ice skating

    Litreally sat sobbing after reading this part of a quote , it resonates so so much with me ... I trust to quickly as I fear there abandon me like it has happened in the past and now I have learnt to just trust no one as they all leave in the end

    I’ve just done something I regret so much. I couldn’t stop myself at the time but now I feel so guilty. Not really ready to say what it is. Fuck!

    Second dream in a row I've had about shooting people and other people trying to shoot me. Internet says it's about unhappiness and anger. I know I'm unhappy but don't exactly feel angry

    Have a really low self esteem atm. Around my face apperance.

     I want to dye my hair blonde but my sister said i have a weird face so i cant. My face isn't that weird. It's just A face like everyone else????. But i don’t know kinda hurt my feelings cause i do think my face isn't symmetrical and self consious about that. But don't think anyone's face is symmetrical?  My sister is pretty though. She knows she's really pretty though and it makes me feel like shitt comparing to her. I think She was basically saying you need to be really pretty to have blonde hair. But I've never tried blonde hair. I know i wont suit it. Just want to try it then go back to brown cause never properly done it

    There's not long left until I've finished with this degree.
    I'm feeling super tired today but I keep going.
    I might need some more caffeine.
