i can really hear you are feeling low at the moment, and I just wanted to let you know we are here for you. no matter how it may feel at times, you are so strong, you are so important and you really really deserve to feel supported.
you are absolutely not selfish - you are going through a difficult time and that is not your fault It sounds like what they said would have been really difficult for you to hear, but I really believe things donβt always have to be that way. There is support for you and things really really can get better
Your well-being is always going to be a priority - so much more important than money. If you feel able to speak to your parents some day about why you canβt get a job then thatβs great - perhaps writing feelings in a letter will be a little easier. But for now, the main priority is focusing on you and making sure that you are okay
Itβs really great that you posted here when you are feeling like this - you did the right thing by letting us know . Whilst you are feeling this way in the moment, Iβm wondering how youβd feel about talking to a counsellor - either through The Mixβs services including the live chat or crisis messengerΒ https://www.themix.org.uk/get-support, or if you are under 19 Childline have a live chat and help line tooΒ https://childline.org.uk/get-support/.
take good care, and I really hope you feel better soon Β
I realise my self im quite at a low weight now and it's clearly distressing my family. Probably not because they care but because they feel as a parent it's their job and they care about how well they do as a parent, not about me. And tbh feel like they say all the wrong things and say things like "it's not attractive to be that slim" "anorexia has the highest mortality rate of any mental illness" like is that encouragement lol & in the kitchen there was a book about anorexia & think it was a book on how to support someone with anorexia but I think they're trying to guilt trip me with things like that cause think they wanted me to see it. Like google exist if wanna know more about it.
Β Somethings are just giving me too much anxiety to be able to force myself to eat it. I still want to breath and I want my body to feel as clean as I can. Β
I didnt see rape crisis as I was meant to on Wednesday because of soemthing that happened so I see her wedsday coming instead and then the next week after that like usual and then the 2 weeks apart again. But tbh I really don't want to. Idk why but I just don't feel comfortable to say anything to her & I just don't want to go which is rare cause tbh I used to love going to any appointment just cause I'm lonely & know only been like literally 2 sessions but i still feel like I'm not going to ever be comfortable with her. She constantly speaks about how much I play with my hair bobbles & it's just something I do when anxious but no ones ever comments so much on it & laughs & just feel more anxious. And she talks a lot about coping stuff and just think "yeah I've heard it all before It's not why I came here, I just want to feel clean and less at fault and less alone". Β Did tell her I know basically all coping skills but yeah. She's nice and all but just don't feel comfortable & Β not sure what meant to do now,
Β I just want to say what happened in proper detail to someone. I feel like I never properly have and I'm so alone with it . I get not wanting to push someone into saying it as will feel worse but I can't feel much worse being stuck with it myself. Idek what she knows about the abuse
I am way tooooo upset by this letter that came today ππππππππ this is obviously something that will come up on a DBS and though I had one recently and nothing came up and in PSW anything to do with mental health from police they're okay with. But they say that but that's probably not true ππππππ
only because I was tased this time that they're doing this πππππππππ
I'm so upset. Why does it sound like I'm the worst person alive πππππππππππππππππππππππ
but yeah when i read that letter I was to busy crying to turn it overΒ
this what says the other side
which yeah calmer that it will be removed in 6 months
should I make an complaint ? It's not nessicaly at all and so upsetting. I shouldn't of even be tasered. Should make a complaint in that in itself cause that was traumatising. I will probs calm down soon and get over it. But rn I'm still upsetΒ
I didn't think it was a allowed to taser somone who was a danger to them selves. Did they explain to you why they did it to you because thats quite an extreme step to take by police. We know that you're not a threat to others, I can definitely vouch seeing that I've known you for a few years now β€οΈ
If there's any concolation I know a few people who've encountered the police and have still been able to carry on as normal job and education wise. I know that once the ambulance service see you in person, they'll realise that you're harmless x
they kinda explained why was tasered. I needed urgent help from the self harm they could see but they couldnt get to me because of soemthing(trying to stay in guildelines and just not making sense lol) But it still wasn't neasicaly. They didn't give me enough time to stop myself. Β I've been threatened with it Before - but never actually happened because the police man had a chat with me after saying he's work with the police for 10 years but never seen someone been so close to being tasered -wasn't even tasered and he was shocked cause it's rare to use force like that now. Β I think these police was just fed up that day or soemthing. They was nice to me after but idk
i think im going to make a complaint to that address.Β
But yeah. There's no way I will be ringing 999 or 111 within the next 6 months. Will die or not die but I ain't having police come to addres cause been flagged that I'm dangerous person. Just dont want that vibe. The police are nice tho but yeah just don't want to feel dangous or have further action because I've harmed myself. Or just won't seek help since repeat of behaiour would be self harm
Never going to seek help for crisis. Rather not Be arrested
the more I think about the more it made sense to why I was tasered. Was for my safety not theirs. But that doesn't mean I'm dangerous and in the letter being tased makes it sound like it's the reason they are doing it
I think complaining is a good idea, are you leaning toward any option?
