    I feel so unprepared for my exam in 2 weeks, my lecturer is being no help at all and we've basically received no support. I'm so close to finishing my degree but I'm so scared of doing badly in this exam
    The steps you take don’t need to be big, they just need to take you in the right direction.

    @Dandelion - We hear you. What would help you to feel more prepared for your exams in 2 weeks – is there a specific area of the curriculum you are struggling with the most or something else? It sounds difficult that your lecturer is being no help at all and you’ve basically received no support but we believe in you :)

    @LorryTruck - We hear you. Would you like to share more with us about what hurts? We are here for you if you would like to share more with us :)

    @Leila - We hear you. What would you like to scream? :)

    Sending you all hugs! <3

    Sometimes I find myself feeling bad for wanting to express my thoughts of self harming because I feel like I'm attention seeking, which doesn't help at all as it just feeds into the urges. I feel like I should either just shut up or do it and I don't know why.

    TW: Mention of suicidal ideation and plans
    The past few months I've had suicidal ideation which has genuinely scared me because I know that I could access the resources if things got so bad. I've never had this before where I've had a solid plan and waiting for when it all gets too much. I know it will work.

    Always good to see you posting @Salix_alba_2019. ✨

    I just wanted to acknowledge the weight of this. It does feel scary when we move from 'things are really painful and I want it to stop' to 'I could end my life if things get bad enough'. There's vulnerability in admitting this, so well done. These things are never easy to share.

    Even if you are seeking attention or seeking care, there's totally nothing wrong with that. We seek attention because we need it and it's natural to want our pain to be noticed. (Not saying that's what you are doing necessarily - I'm conscious people self-harm for different reasons)

    The staff team might drop you a PM today just to talk a bit more about the plan you mentioned and to see if you're up for working through some safety planning with us. 😊 Also a gentle reminder of these crisis support services if you need them.

    In the meantime though, sending hugs and please lean on the community when you need to - we're always here. You're doing great, even when it doesn't feel like it.
    The truth resists simplicity.

    Whilst I feel a bit better than I have done I still don’t feel great I just want to lie in bed but I’ve done that the past two day, I really need to do some revision cause my exams start in a weeks time

    I got really drunk yesterday. Was sick in the garden and just fell on it. I am so embarrassed
    “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

    Sending everyone hugs! <3

    @Owl - oh no, how disappointing. Do you know when you might be able to have chippy?

    @awesomeminecraft6789 - This sounds really difficult. Do you know when you might be able to see your girlfriend and the sorts of things which help when you miss her?

    I get to see her in the summer but it's like I just want to see her because she makes me who I am today. Sounds cheesy but she is everything to me. And I just cry not being able to see her.
