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

    Or charities/other organisations. Kooth is really good if you feel you need counselling? 💗
  • Former MemberFormer Member Inactive Posts: 35 Boards Initiate
    I think you have to pay?
    thanks

    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💗

  • Former MemberFormer Member Inactive Posts: 35 Boards Initiate
    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 @Past User 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?

    Not while at college not allowed

    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!

    Just upset at the moment unsure why 
  • Former MemberFormer Member Miniposter Posts: 810 Part of The Mix Family
    I think if you could identify why you are upset it would help you a lot, what do you think? 💗
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 152 Helping Hand
    Yep I do think that would help  but I have  no idea 
  • Former MemberFormer Member Miniposter Posts: 810 Part of The Mix Family
    Maybe keep a journal and write down when you feel sad and see if you can notice any patterns? 💗
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 152 Helping Hand
    Yep that’s a good idea it’s mainly at college and when meeting people I haven’t met before 
  • Former MemberFormer Member Miniposter Posts: 810 Part of The Mix Family
    Yeah

    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 😊❤
