    I'm not gonna hide it, I feel horrible. Basic things seem so hard to do. Maybe I just need a hug idk, but I feel like I don't deserve it. Like I did this to myself somehow.

    Hi @Siobhan
    I'm really sorry you're experiencing these urges. I know that they can get pretty overwhelming and scary at times - almost feeling like you have little control and they're taking over your mind. I promise you can get through it if you really try. Just remember that you do have all the control here and that you're strong. IF you've gone the past few days, or even hours, without doing so then you can go longer.
    Thinking about ignoring the urges completely can be daunting when they're so strong. I'd recommend focusing on getting through the next hour. Go as long as you can between each relapse and at least you've made some improvement and can be proud that you've tried your hardest.
    Remember that relapse is still a part of recovery and that we are always here to support you. Well done for being so honest and opening up about these thoughts. If there's anything else you'd like to talk about I'd be glad to listen.

    I rang my sister and she was rude. I mean she had only just woke up. I asked if she would answer the door when they come and she was like “WHY CANT YOU ANSWER IT” um I can’t move

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.

    @Siobhan are they with you now? I hope your sister let them in and she quit being rude, it sounds like you really need the support.

    Thank you. Yeah I’m in ambulance waiting for them to check me in. But for some reason it’s not my local hospital. My local one was too busy

    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 ❤

    I normally get gas and air for something that they was doing to me today but didn’t even tho worse than before. And she was moaning at me for moving her hand when it was literally the most painful thing I couldn’t help myself. And I could feel her about to say “well you did this to yourself” but felt she stopped her self when she was like you knew this would happen. I felt like she was punishing me

    Oh no. I thought I could get away with no paying for my train ticket. When the ticket man came round I said my phone is dead and got the tickets on there. He said I’ll come back round and changes it up. My phone wasn’t dead but wasn’t too far off it. So I quickly went to buy tickets for a train after. And then turned my phone off and he came to charge it and then came to give it back to me. Anyway he was suspicious as not the train I was on but I got away with it ahhh. Well kinda. Still had to pay. I was just annoyed as I had to pay £122 in taxi to a specialist hospital from the hospital I was already at when i don’t know why the hospital couldnt arrange the transport. So I didn’t wanna spend more money on travel to get home when I didn’t want the ambulance or hospital in the first place.

    Crying in hospital because I had my appointment and they changed the dressing but it hurts twice as much to walk on. They said it would do because it’s been aggravated. But no where in this hospital sells pain killers so I’m literally just in pain and can barely walk and just crying


    I am literally full on crying right now

    I rang the hospital saying I just had my appointment and I’m still in pain and can barely walk can I please come back for painkillers because I feel stuck here as no where sells painkillers. She was like we can’t just give you paracetamol. So I was like ok thanks bye. But I think I was rude. Now I feel guilty. I was just pissed off and in pain.

    I’ve been asking strangers and I am a very shy person but was desperate anyway a kind stranger gave me some paracetamol

    Hi @Siobhan Don't feel guilty. I feel like we've all had bad days where we think we might have been a bit rude to someone but it's definitely not your fault. I know she'd understand you so don't worry.
    Hope you feel better soon! :)

    Don't worry at all @Siobhan, keep posting here whenever you need to <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 ❤
