    Glad you're not offended @Shaunie , I wasn't having a dig at all pal was just thinking of other folk who might be in a bad head space. I know it's easy to forget, I'm sure many people have posted potentially triggering things and have forgotten to add the TW, easily done. No ones here to judge. Best try not argue though, people come here (to this thread especially) when feeling down.  <3 Sending big ol' hugs to everyoneee


    @SpaceOtter Keep thinking about how far you've come, we are SO proud of you. You've got this!

    I don’t want to go to school tomorrow but I also don’t want to stay at home. I don’t know what I want anymore. I feel like people keep throwing me life lines and I keep throwing them back. I just wish I could hide away from the world.
    TW
    I’m not seeing the point in staying self harm free anymore. I still feel awful but now I feel way to cocky. I feel like I need to be taken down a peg or two
    Big hugs to anyone who needs them, always here if you ever need anything  <3


    Sending hugs.

    Thank you it means a lot I’m just so angry at myself. I keep messing everything up around me I feel like I’m hurting people. I spend way too much time moaning on here that’s for sure. 
    I really appreciate everyone’s help I really do and if I can ever return the favour I’m more than happy to.

    I have a banging headache. The urge to self harm is creeping up and has been for a while. I've done so well not to follow through this behaviour recently. I've been trying so hard to distract myself. All the recent changes and anniversaries are taking their toll on me now. I keep seeing post on social media about them and about how people miss them. It's becoming difficult.
    I'm just so tired at the moment. I think I'm also struggling withdrawal because I haven't been able to take my meds daily

    Sorry guys. Really struggling. And you don’t know everything so please do not judge me too harshly. Thank you.  I know I’ve fucked up. Sorry

    I'm just sat crying. I seem to be so emotional at the moment. I don't know if it's meds or something else. I just feel emotions so intensely. I know I'm stressed and anxious and struggling. Part of me wants to go the GP and get signed off for a while, but I don't want to be seen as being weak if I get signed off. I'm a key worker. I can't be signed off. It just feels pathetic to be signed off for mental health

    Thank you. I'm just not doing well at the moment. Feel like everyone hates me.. and I really hate me too. I have been struggling for a while and I'm just falling apart as the days go by

    I care a lot about you Shaunie. I know that things are really hard for you right now and that it can sometimes feel very isolating and frustrating if nobody understands what you are going through. We have to try and stick together through these difficult times and be kind. <3

    Lol just chucked my meds away 😂 what’s the point in taking them when I ain’t gonna get better 
    Sometimes all you need is one person to believe in you , for you to begin to believe in yourself.

    I think I need to go take a nap. The pain is making me irritable
    (Just incase I worry anyone I don’t need medical attention- I’ve done this before it’s 100% fine)

    Sending big hugs @GreenTea we all care about you. It would absolutely not be weak to get signed off, sometimes we need that time off work and that’s absolutely ok.

    Hey @SpaceOtter sending big hugs <3 you’re a very strong person and you’re doing amazingly well, I understand how tough it is I really do but you’re doing a great job and definitely keep talking to us. 

    I’m sorry to hear you’re struggling @Shaunie take care of yourself and big hugs.

    And also thank you @Liam for your post above and the hugs it’s much appreciated <3

    That could be a helpful idea. I hope that you begin to feel better soon. Remember to get help if needed especially as self harm injuries can become serious and need treatment. It can be scary

    Just feels stupid to be signed off for mental health. I'm not doing well and I know that and the people around me know that. Small things are really tipping me over the edge mentally. Part of me wants to do something stupid but I know I shouldn't. I'm just fed up. I can't seem to do fuck all right and im just so done with it all @independent_

    @Millie2787 I’m sorry you’re feeling that way :( you might not see it right now but you will get better. It might involve something like trying a new med and it will be a lot of fighting but you are strong and you will get there <3

    Being signed off for mental health is never, ever stupid @GreenTea and I’m guessing with the whole situation with your work isn’t helping at all right now. 

    I totally understand where you’re coming from, please know that it’s ok to be struggling and to take time out to help yourself <3

    It's really difficult to take time for myself at the moment. I'm either working, supporting someone, doing something for someone.. never get time for me at the moment

    One thing my anxiety makes me do which I'm so done with at the moment is clench my jaw shut.  It really fucking hurts my jaw and cheeks and teeth. I can't help it though because a lot of the time I do it without realising. My jaw feels so fucking tight and achy right now and it also gives me headaches.

    I hear you @GreenTea, life can get sooo busy and it’s hard when you’re feeling like you have no time to just stop.

    Am I right in thinking that you mentioned you had no medication, when are you getting your prescription? Hopefully it isn’t too long.
