    I’m sorry that they said that, have you managed to speak to any family or friends about how you feel? 💗

    For kooth? No I use it and it’s completely free. You just need to have a chat with one of the counsellors and they should pair you with someone who will work with you💗

    You know kooth it’s only available from 12 pm—10 pm when I go on there and chat to a counsellor do they pair me with someone who will work with me for ongoing support via online?

    Hey @animallover20 just dropped by to say I'm sorry you were sad at college today but glad Kooth is being helpful. I sometimes get sad and don't have a specific reason for it too. Think it's pretty normal <3 

    I try and distract myself as much as possible by watching videos of dogs or funny things on Youtube... Know it sounds basic but does work for me. Do you think you could do anything like that while at college to try and lift your mood when you start getting sad?
    Treat yourself as you would treat a good friend

    Hey,

    You say you aren't allowed to watch videos or listen to music while at college, do you think it would be possible to speak to someone to maybe allow you too if you explain your situation and how you are feeling?  <3

    I hope you are feeling a bit better today!

    “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 think if you could identify why you are upset it would help you a lot, what do you think? 💗

    Maybe keep a journal and write down when you feel sad and see if you can notice any patterns? 💗

    I am so glad to hear that you had a better day today. You absolutely deserve that and I only want to hear positive things about you. I am a also glad to hear that you were very happy. It sounds like this was a very impressive target for you to reach. I am so proud of you. Even having half a day of work experience is amazing hearing what you have been through.

    Stay strong, inspiring, awesome and you 😊❤
