    Throat's still weird. Seriously, what the hell? What's wrong?... Anyways until I update to say the sore throat's gone away, assume it's still there.

    Emotionally numb is that such a thing ?

    Yes @Millie2787 emotionally numb is definitely a thing. I felt that way for over a year once. It's really unpleasant and leaves you feeling quite disconnected from the world doesn't it? I really hope you feel better soon.

    My mind won't fucking leave me alone right now. Idk what's even wrong. For one I just keep having thoughts that I'm unlovable and ugly and will never be good enough, and I feel so much hate towards myself. :(

    I had to stop seeing my guinea pig earlier than I would've liked cause my stress was making me on the verge of hysteria. But then of course that's added to my stress cause it gives my brain another reason to yell at me that I'm a failure :pensive:

    Why. Just why. Why does everything have to be so... hard. Why does my family have to be so hard. Why does humanity have to be so hard. Why does being good enough have to be so hard. Most importantly, why does my mind have to be so hard. :anguished:

    Best of luck @Laine. If you don't feel able to eat much can you at least suck on some sweets to get some sugar to your brain before the exams? Deep breaths. You can do it. xx

    Sending hugs to you both @kathleen0172 and @Millie2787 xx

    Definitely make sure you have a good breakfast @Laine . And maybe take a sugary drink or some milk from home if you can't afford sweets? I totally get what it's like to feel too anxious to eat because it happens to me too. 

    Exams are really stressful, but try to remember that these are mocks and they're just giving you the chance to try it out before the real thing. See it as a chance to find out what works for you while the marks don't count. If you feel like you want to walk out maybe close the paper up, take some deep breaths, and try to clear your mind. Watch the seconds on the clock for a whole minute if you need to and just breathe until you feel calmer. Then try opening the paper up again and see anything extra you write after that as a bonus. We'll all be here rooting for you xx

    Maybe triggering 


    I was speaking to my sister about my room and then i got onto convo about how i have a dent in my wardrobe which i have no idea how it got there or when which i thought was weird & annoying and dont know how to fix. Then my sister said she knows how got there cause she did it when she walked on me trying to kill myself ages ago.

    Hurt so much to hear 😭😭😭

    Sending you hugs @Millie2787 hope you're okay <3
    Maybe somethings don't get better, but we do. We get stronger. We learn to live with our situations as messy and ugly as they are. We fix what we can and we adapt to what we can't. Maybe some of us will never fully be okay, but at least we're here. We're still trying. We're doing the best we can. That's worth celebrating too ❤

    Ended up coming home from work early  still don't think I've recovered from being in hospital and also have an infection in my arm so could be that making me feel lousy. Voices and thoughts are so strong and I don't know what to do 😭 
    ' So I put a bullet where I shouda put a helmet, and I crash my car cause I wanna get carried away, that's why I'm standing on the overpass screaming at myself 'hey, I wanna get better''

    ...I still ain't talking. Dunno what's wrong :confused: I just want to be able to use my voice goddammit. Seriously, picture yourself not being able to do something you love, so like, if you love photography imagine having your camera taken away. Or if you love football imagine having your legs taken away. I know it will get better but, then that leads into another thing, I can't shake off the depressioooooon.
