    Wish alcohol wasn't the only thing that made me feel relaxed right now!

    Does anyone ever find themselves lost for words when cryptically trying to talk about the difficult things?

    I just watched a video on BBC I-Player and part of it really related to me a lot.  There was a girl similar to my age really struggling with her mental health. She was in a mental health crisis and her parents had called for an ambulance.

    It was quite relatable because there was only a difference of 2 years between us (I am the younger one) and it touched me quite a lot. The programme was actually filmed in Australia but it shows how much mental health can affect anyone. I really hope that the girl is okay. 😢💔

    It reminds me of how I am always scared to speak to anyone about my mental health and how it sometimes makes me spiral into quite a low state of mind.

    The girl was having suicidal thoughts. The programme is called Ambulance and it is the Australian version. It is Series 1 Episode 2.

    Honestly the hardest calls to watch on BBC Ambulance are the paediatric ones, violence, cardiac arrests and mental health.

    The mental health calls just seem so relatable. 

    I feel awful for the little kids when they get unwell or become injured. When anyone is unwell or injured it is difficult but for me the paedatric ones are the hardest to watch.

    The cardiac arrests usually mean that the patient dies even with all the CPR efforts.

    The violence calls are just so sad because why would anyone take a weapon when they go out or think about harming someone?

    Doing face exercises before i go bed is so automatic for me now but im scared that will actually cause wrinkles more when im older? Cause moving my skin more?  But i fee like my face and cheeks are so fat i hate it. Im not actually over weight. Im underweigjt snd most times i realise that. But i feel like my face isnt inproportion with the rest of my body. And i feel like ny face is puffy too/ water rention in there so face exerise help too and jade face roller. And although i dont move just my face. It feel like so much effort lol. Proper lazy
