    @Spook98 yeah that is most likely why. When you stop or run out of meds suddenly you can get withdraw symptoms and it can cause sickness. That's why we are normally weened off them gradually. X

    @Mia_moo thought so, thanks. Don't need to stop taking them, just had some issues with changing doctors so it's still another couple of days until my next appointment. Hopefully then I can sort it all out.

    @Spook98 can be annoying when that happens. I ran out the other night because they lost my prescription apparently. Hope it all gets back on track for you ❤️ Mints might help with feeling sick, tend to suck on them when I feel sick and it just takes the edge off. X

    I'm so sad
    “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

    I feel scared. People in the Derbyshire area could die! I don't want anyone to die. There is severe flooding. It reminds me of the world war 2 evacuations when I learnt about them.

    You might want to think about not going. I don't want you in danger. Or your family. Please stay home where you can actually stay alive and safe.

    Sorry to be bossy but I don't want you taking any chances. I would rather have you delay it by a few days than risk being a flood victim. We care about you here so much.

    The police and everyone has assessed the situation and have evacuated the town. If they felt the need to widen the evacuation they would have. I'm sure it will be ok, I'm sure they are prepared for the worst outcome. Also they are working on pumping water out of the dam

    @Kasa2103 I read the news articles and they are really trying to pump out as much water required to stable the dam

    Super long rant coming up. I need it. Sorry if it is sort of spammy.

    On Friday (26th July) I was coming out about being lesbian at gymnastics. Me and the other gymnasts in my group were discussing boyfriends. We were all asking each other if we have boyfriends or if we are single pringles. I said "I don't have a boyfriend but I am not a single pringle." One of the other gymnasts asked how that is even possible. I said "I am lesbian and have a girlfriend." Seeing how shocked all the gymnasts were was so embarrassing and I am worried that the coaches overheard. If they did I will never hear the end of it. I probably won't even hear the end of it from the gymnasts because I know what they can be like. If you are wondering how I heard about single pringle, one of my friends used that quote before in an Instagram post (long before I got banned.) Me and the gymnasts in my group are all friends but sometimes they can keep going on and on about things that have happened. It feels so embarrassing and I feel like I cannot be lesbian without feeling humiliated. I did come out as lesbian at another place as well and it was worse. It was at school when it happened last time. That is a whole other story. Another problem that I am facing is that I feel really nervous about going back to school in September. This is because in September I am going into year 9. In year 9 we choose our GCSE options and even have some pre-mock exams. I feel nervous because I don't know what the subjects are like (except biology) and also because it is really stressful. Year 9 is pre mocks. Year 10 is actual mocks. Year 11 is the dreaded exams. Whenever I have sat formal exams before (not like in class ones but like the exams to see what type of secondary school you can go to) I have freaked out and failed. I was so close to passing my first exam though (I was about 10 marks off thanks to my non verbal reasoning basically being non existent.) The pre mocks are thankfully mostly in class but my pre mock for dance is participating in a performance. I performed last year but as part of the year 7 and 8 dance group (I was the youngest out of everyone at 12 and a half years old.) Year 9 is the most important year for me (except for year 11.) I also cannot help being stressed. I suffer with anxiety and it is exams, crowds and change that trigger it the most. Last time I sat a formal exam I took a couple of rescue remedy gummy tablets with me into the exam (I hid them in my pencil case but the examiners did not notice.) Those gummy tablets are basically almost life savers. I know that I won't be allowed them (most likely) in pre mocks, mocks and the actual exams in case teachers think I have drugs or chewing gum.) Rescue Remedy is probably the only thing that controls my anxiety well enough for me to focus on exams or anything that is a trigger for me. My anxiety has been made worse due to severe bullying that I was made to go through for about 80% of year 8 and about 10% of year 7. 10% doesn't sound like much but it is 10% too much for me to have to face. The bullying takes ages to explain so I will use another message to explain that to you if that is OK. I keep getting memories of when I was 8 years old. Basically at 8 years old I had an ultrasound of my girly malteasers (I giggle too much when using the word boobs) because the doctor sent an urgent referral. He thought I had breast cancer due to a growth/lump in my breast. If it was cancer I would probably not be alive. I would have been in heaven by 11 years old or 12 if I was very lucky. It turned out to be benign. I wish it never had to happen at all. The memories feel too much for me. I am not explaining why I keep getting the memories though. 😭😔

    Today is the day, 7 years ago, I would be getting ready for heart surgery well not until midday, well surgery didn't take place until 2pm not 6am when I'm typing this,

    I'm waiting for the normal massive amount of text that mum would writing about me and what happened 7 years ago and for it then to go onto Facebook, then all the simpathy comments back from all her friends,

    I hate it I honestly hate it to the tips of my teeth, I just want to get to where im staying for the week in Derbyshire/Staffordshire and just cry for a hour, and sit in the bath which I can fit in l and have a bath bomb (looking at the positives)

    I've signed out of Facebook and Instagram for the day because I don't want to see the stuff about me that's gonna go on Facebook.

    **mini rant over **

    Told me family "if you never let me be home alone now- feeling suffocated will make me feel worse- you can't keep an eye on me forever". Then they was like but mum can come round to make dinner. No.dont like mum so no. Then my sister goes like " it won't matter if you feel worse - you wouldn't be able to try anything extreme if we are here" um shut the fuck up.- don't care if I feel worse.
    anyways I think maybe will be home alone today. Thankfully. Feel like cant breath.  Need space

    Well I had a rough night. Laid awake until about 5am with my chest sinking with sadness. And cried. I just feel like I'm a worthless, useless, unwanted waste of space :/ I kept imagining being yelled at or otherwise hated and it hurt haha.

    My mums right with everything she says, I don’t have a life and it’s my fault I’m like this, people don’t actually care they’re just fed up of me moaning and I’m no normal 18 year old, hardly leaving the house and having no enjoyment out of life. Cba 😔

    @Butterfly23 I've been told the same things before and I've come to agree. It can start a bad cycle of loneliness / unhappiness and self loathing. But I bet youd never think the same about others that you think about yourself and if one of your friends was having a tough time youd want them to tell you so that you could help them. Why should your problems be any different? :)
