    Omg I’m feeling so awful I don’t want to go to work tomorrow 😭i don’t know what to do. If I call in sick they will know it’s because I was supposed to do overtime 
    “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

    Why is my brain so opposed to sleeping? Why does it scare me so much I just can't do it!?

    There's no good in doing work if you are not on your A game @Shaunie mental health is still a reason to take a day off and hopefully they understand x

    I hope you can chill and take it easy

    Had a really challenging week this week and I'm so mentally exhausted. Lots has happened (can't go into detail because it's under investigation etc) 
    Really hoping for a better week and fast. I just want a break from constant challenges, death and myself at this point.

    Hopefully they won’t question it at all I think all they’re asking people at the minute is if you were off because of any of the coronavirus symptoms m, so hopefully it will be alright🤞🏻

    Struggling with urges all day, feeling completely on edge the past week and i just want a safe space to be heard. 

    I feel like I've worked so hard and gone backwards. Ive put up a wall with J's suicide. I want to be able to talk, I want to be able to move forward but I can't and I don't know how to talk about how I feel

    Massive incident on the road near where I live. Could hear none stop sirens. So many police ambulances and fire bridgade when was walking teddy. Was so so awful to hear :’( it’s heart break to know someone’s life has just changed in the split of a second:’(

    @Dandelion I think I’m going to call in sick tomorrow too I’m just too stressed on it being obvious because I didn’t want to do overtime and they would bitch about me. Feel really guilty for calling in sick again And my dad and mum was moaning at me

    Do what feels right for you @Shaunie ... Mental health is just as important as physical health. Just because you’re not “ill” doesn’t mean you don’t need time off. If you don’t feel up to it, call in and be honest if you feel able to. Try not to stress over it 
  • GreenTeaGreenTea Posts: 12,938 Born on Earth, Raised by The Mix

    Decided to text shout again. They really helped me when I need a space to talk in the past couple weeks

    Update on this. 
    shout were helpful but I feel like I'm starting to rely to much on them. I just wish those around me care enough about me to let me talk, to acknowledge me, listen to me.

    I wish I mattered to someone. I have a lot of people around me who don't really listen. I've started to self harm again after managing for a while, I'm crying more, I'm constantly angry. I know my mental health is declining. I know it is but I have no where to seek support for it.
    Multiple people have pulled me up at my sudden weight loss , multiple people are pulling me up for looking so exhausted and pale, yet none of them will give me a space to say why... Instead I get asked what I'm doing to lose weight so quickly and being congratulated for it. 
    I feel so alone and unwanted. It hurts. I kinda wish something would give in and kill me off, kinda want to put myself in unsafe situations so I won't exist... It's so difficult.
    I am safe I just... saying how I feel because I don't feel like anyone wants to listen and even if they don't, I tried to get things off my chest.
  • GreenTeaGreenTea Posts: 12,938 Born on Earth, Raised by The Mix
    I just want someone to listen and care.. but it feels like nobody wants to. It feels like I don't matter, like I shouldn't exist..
