    Oh great. Crisis team want me to go to a&e as I’ve been doing damaging stuff to myself. But I said I can’t because celebrating my dads birthday but said going to get a call back as soon as possible 
    “And when they look at you, they won't see everything you've been through. They won't see the **** that turned to scars that began to fade with time. They won't see the heartbreaking things that shook up and changed your entire world. They won't know how many tears you cried or even what it was you were crying about. They won't see how strong you had to be because you had no other choice. What they will see though is how compassionate you are because you experienced pain. What they will see is how kind you are because you experienced how cruel the world is. What they will see is how good you are because you've seen how bad things or people can be. The difference between you and your experiences are who you choose to be, despite everything that could have turned you cold and unkind.You are the good the world needs and the best of us.” ~ Kirsten Corley

    I really miss my family. Haven't seen my brother, dad and sister in over a year. Barely seen my mum and other siblings either. I'm really really emotional tonight. I just want to see my family..

    It’s literally a postcode lottery of how much you get support for your mental health. 

    I’m in WhatsApp group from therapy group. And some of Them used to live else where and got offered much more help compared to when they came here

    I'm struggling a lot today, idk if it's my new meds making me feel worse or if it's because it's the time of month... just hope tomorrow is better.

    i know this is odd but sometimes I want to end up in hospital to actually see if anyone would care, I really don't think people do and its a really hard battle to fight my own thoughts.

    I think I have a skewed idea of it means to not be "that bad". Things have been really hard.

    Yesterday my family was all like you never speak to us about how you feel. 

    My sister was like “it’s the professionals job”


    It’s like tbh I will never open up to my family about how I feel. But it would be nice that I could if I wanted to
    and kinda felt like she wouldn’t want to hear it anyway
    :/

    Lol those attention seeking posts on social media

    This was just a joke. Sorry lol dark humour. Nothing mental health related. I’m not talking about when people have a recovery social media for their mental health. I’m talking about those random facebook post when someone like accidentally hurt their finger lol  and are just hey look at me I’m so poorly lol. It reminded me of this country program where Kerry pretended to hurt her leg and was in a&e ringing everyone saying she’s in hospital but it was only bruised. Was too funny cause relatable I’ve seen it on my social media.

    I'm having a hard time today.

    TW self harming 

    I've already cried even though I said I wasn't going to. The passive aggressive woman in the shop was the last straw.


     I can't tell if I'm partially dissociating or not but I feel so heavy. I genuinely want to self harm  and not have to deal with the embarrassment of the authorities getting involved. 


    Had I lived on my own I would have just done it

    I don't know what to do with myself because all I want to do is self harm.

    I don't even want to talk to anyone because I don't want to be talked out of it.

    TW: Just struggling :( and finding it really hard to cope with SH urges at the moment. And I obsess over things which I really shouldn’t. Mostly negative thoughts about myself.

    Things are so bad and I can't bring myself to call the helplines. I feel like I'm one trigger away from self harming.

    I don't know what can be done right now? I'm not the only one struggling. I feel like I'm tiptoeing around the s****** and o*** d*****. I've been doing the same thing everyday hoping for change but there is none. I don't know why I still continue to leave the house or come to chat. Nothing changes.
