    So.

    Travel's a bitch. I can't go outside without panicking. My hands are trembling as I'm typing this on my phone. I feel like I'm going to have a bad day.

    Does listening to music help when you are out and about?
    If you can find a space that feels safe to just stop and focus on breathing.

    It does, from time to time.
    Sometimes, watching a highly intensive video helps too.

    I saw your response and found a safe space to breathe. Thank you. <3

    Haven’t got out of bed yet. I probably should before my sister comes home and shouts at ms

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.

    Was walking the dog today and leant down to pick up his ball with the ball thrower and twisted something in my back again, it’s been going for a while but I’m finding it very hard to move and painkillers aren’t touching it. Makes life so difficult.

    I just want someone to listen
    And not dismiss my concerns as a joke.

    I did get cream for it. But I really hate putting it on. I don’t like touching it. It doesn’t feel like it’s my skin

    I'm drained. I haven't slept at all last night. So much on my mind. I've cried a lot. I've self harmed. I'm angry, hurt, frustrated. hopefully I can get advice as to what to do. Can't handle the behaviours In this house anymore.

    Sometimes all you need is one person to believe in you , for you to begin to believe in yourself.
