    Hello @IainJammyboy
    I'm sorry you're going through a rough time, if you feel comfortable would you mind telling me why you want to stop taking your antidepressants? Have you talked about it with your doctor?

    Really sad as I calculated some calories wrong & more than what I calculated

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.

    Another small vent. I missed two weeks worth of content at uni and now I'm super lost. I'm gonna apply for extra time for all my assignments and have emailed my tutor but I'm still worried I won't be able to catch up. Also one of the assignments requires me to record myself speaking... absolutely beautiful

    @Gemma oh no I'm so sorry, I did make it sound scary. I want to clarify we are all okay and it wasn't a major accident at all, the car just got damaged a little. I didnt realise how serious I made it sound, probably because of how depressed I feel with everything that's happening so I may have overreacted a little. Kind of like 'the straw that broke the camels back'. Thought I'd clarify.

    Night it didn’t turn out so well. Came home early to binge and purge. Alcohol makes binging urges ten times worse

    I also admitted that to a friend who I’m scared will tell my sister

    I had blood tests at my gp today. And she asked about my injuries while doing my bloods and said haven’t had the dressing changed for a bit as I feel guilty and don’t wanna use time. And she said oh I can dress it and I said oh only if you have time. Which yeah she did and all okay but then while I was waiting still in my gp surgery for the alchohol worker I saw this health care assistant go into the reception and all I heard was “she has ***** and expects us to dress them”. Which the type of injury I’m pretty sure it’s about me. Like no way did I expect that I was literally saying the opposite and For one you have duty of care and the type of injury needs dressing by professionals. I think she meant maybe need to go walk in centre instead but I do sometimes who tell me to rebook with my gp.
    Anyways it was playing on my mind loads so I told my alchohol worker in my appointment who said she will pass it on that people waiting can hear you at the very least to let them know and she just texted me saying “ Hey, thanks for coming in today! Just wanted to let you know, **** from the GP surgery is going to give you a call this afternoon. I let her know you'd over heard something and were a bit upset/annoyed by it - purely to make them aware that they can be heard! She's just going to check in with you and discuss what support they can offer. Hope that's ok!”

    Well I ngl I do not want them to dress it at all as feel like massive annoying inconvenience

    Sending you lots of strength @River that sounds so incredibly tough. We're here for you if you'd like to chat <3. If you're looking for some additional support outside of the community Samaritans and Papyrus can be great places to reach out to <3

    Samaritans also have a really helpful article about helping someone you're worried about - https://www.samaritans.org/how-we-can-help/if-youre-worried-about-someone-else/supporting-someone-suicidal-thoughts/

    Keep reaching out whenever you need to. We're here for you <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 ❤
