    Sending hugs and strength @Mel_ - take your time and remember to try and be kind to yourself right now, you deserve support with how you are feeling right now. The community will always be here for you if/when you feel ready to talk through what has happened, but do also check out the services that Ben shared in the meantime as there will be people willing to listen and talk through it all. You've shown such strength in coping with all of this so far, and whilst it may not always feel like it, you can find that strength to continue forward no matter how hard today may feel.

    Thank you..I’m trying just really struggling I only just about got through the night and that involved a more or less pointless visit to the hospital to be sent home & now wait for the crisis team…

    @Siobhan I'm sorry to hear that you're feeling so awful - it sounded like a really good day with your friends, and making new friends is actually so hard - so definitely something to be proud of.

    Sometimes our feelings just don't make a whole lot of sense - and that's okay, they are still really valid.

    How are you feeling today? Have things shifted a bit or still the same?

    Thank you for sharing this with us @Mel_. It sounds like things are feeling really difficult at the moment. I'm wondering if you feel as though there is any support that you'll be able to access tonight? Perhaps from some of the organisations that we have mentioned here previously?

    Sending you lots of strength and a big virtual hug @Mel_ <3 How are you feeling today?
    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 ❤

    Sending you hugs @Jellyelephant. The low and anxious feelings sound really tough. You have done so well to not only acknowledge them but also talk to us about them.

    Up to my eyeballs in stress. First day of kitchen removal/fitting/sorting of electrics went well but fucking hell it’s a mess and it’s so stressful!
