    It's great that you're going to Mind sanctuary. Keep holding on and stay strong. We're all supporting you. I hope stuff looks up a bit soon friend <3

    Thank you<3 feel so bad just keep picturing my death & how life may just be better after death & be reincarnated into someone else & that no matter what happens after death is better than hell on earth😭😭😭😭😭

    Hey @Shaunie

    I can really hear how much you're hurting. You're doing really well to put in place some options to keep yourself safe today and it's really great Mind sanctuary are going to call you when they open at 6pm. I hope it helps going there this evening. Have you managed to speak to them yet?

    Keep holding onto that hope that things can get better. You're so strong Shaunie. Remember those crisis support options are there for you too 24/7. Hope you're doing okay. Keep fighting <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 ❤

    Hey,

    I care, and it's great to hear from you <3 So sorry to hear you've had an awful few days:( It's totally okay that you don't want to speak much about it, though remember we're always here to listen.

    I don't work lol, but I've had to do things I don't want to when I'm feeling awful - very difficult. I can imagine that sucks:( Let us know how it goes <3

    Aw Shaunie :( Sending you many hugs <3 You're not an attention-seeker at all - well, idk, maybe you crave some more of it in your life lol, but there's nothing wrong with needing it. And that's different to an attention-seeker, anyway.

    I'm really happy that you're alive. I know that to you, it's not like that. It's you fighting your battle and you who wants to die <3 Just know that we all care and think you're really valuable, and we're glad that you're alive.

    Wishing you luck with the interview on tuesday x

    Going to work sounds really challenging and not nice :( Try to take it easy.

    Hey @Shaunie

    I just wanted to send you a hug as well <3 

    I'm sorry you had an awful few days and that you've been really struggling recently. I know this fight might be feeling really difficult at the moment, but keep taking it one day at a time. Try not to forget that you're not alone and we'll always be here for you. We all really care about you Shaunie and I'm really glad you're here. 

    I hope work goes okay today, hopefully they let you go home early if you're struggling. Good luck for your interview on Tuesday too. Let us know if you'd like any tips to help you prepare for it (here's an article with some advice about group interviews). You can do this, we believe in you <3

    Aww. Thank you. @Millie2787 @Aife @Jellyelephant @kathleen0172
    genuirley making me feel better 😊 <3<3<3<3

    But about an hour ago i woke up this morning my first thoughts was "i wish i had died thursday":(. And had awful feeling. My family dont seem to care how i feel. And im scared things recent may mess up my chance even trying to become a peer support worker so then made more hopeless & suicidal thoughts worse. But im just trying not to assume the worst & try at interview. I just know if it goes bad i will feel even worse than how i felt thursday which dk if possible:(((. Interview is tomorrow & totally so scared. Its 3 hours long. Omgg thats so long

    & Youre all v encoraging & yesterday night i managed to write down questions they could ask and my answers & read up about group interviews and also read up a load about peer support workers. 🙂. & i should be having a whatsapp chat with young womans trust in a bit. 
    I don’t know how i feel half the time but my suicidal moods are seeming to start changing more quickly.:((((

    Thank you for caring <3 xxx

    :((((so i was seeing what i can wear for interview. The thing is "Smart casual" so i tried black trouser with a top thats casual but smart aswell. I show my sister and she said "yeah that works but you look skinny and you are going to be saying you are recovering from eating disorder --- you cant help others when you got a flat stomach ahahah". Um wasnt that funny now self concious and need to make it look like i have a stomach://////. 

    But have done some more research into peer support workers and wrote it down so feel bit better and more prepared just scared for questions im not prepared for :///

    :o I'm sorry your sister said that, Shaunie. That isn't very nice or funny. I bet you look awesome in the outfit - you'll look good whatever you wear, I think.

    I'm wishing you the best of luck for the interview. Three hours long is insane, you evidently have some patience. It's totally understandable that you're scared. I really hope it goes okay because you deserve it, and you've put a lot of work into this. We're supporting you either way x

    Thank you all!!!!  


    So Sorry feel like in randomly spamming everwhere with my interview stress lol. 


    Omggg. So stressed 

    finished interview. Lot of presentations and 18 people and only can take 9.  So no hope :((((((By end of today will get phone call or email. Phone call if get it. email if dont. Have no idea how i done. I think really badly. All a blur now so i cant tell. Was so hard to answer questions in a group aswell cause dont want to say nothing but dont want to interpurt anyone and soo hard. Cant even say how stressful was omggg. I just know i did speak when i can weather is made sense or not i cant remember hahah. 


    I kinda dont feel that bad if havent got it becauss i kinda liked the experience of a group interview and was interesting and felt builded confident. But i say this and probs say how much i wanna die and how much of a failure i am - if dont get it ah :(

    Hey Shaunie <3

    I'm sorry to hear this :( Sending hugs x Whether you get it or not is of course something I can't say. But what I can say is that I'm sure you did fantastic at the interview, and I really hope you get this - and if not, hope isn't lost <3 And you're certainly not a failure either way.

    It's positive that you kinda liked the group interview.

    Keep us posted dude.

    Hey ,

    Im sure you did amazing , we have a tendency to our our selves down after something even if we did amazing we still find the negatives Becuase we build ourselves up and convince ourselves it’s going to go wrong but I’m sure you did amazing , do let us know which way it goes even if you don’t get it we’re all still proud that you’ve done all of this 💜
