hey, I’m Holly :) I’m 17 and I’ve just started my last year of sixth form. My dad has terminal cancer and to be honest, my whole life seems to have been chucked into a hurricane at the moment. I’m look for someone I met on the support chat, I think her username was salix or something. Anyway, that’s me

    “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

    Hey Holly, welcome! Really glad you came to us and I hope you find what you need here. :)
    All behaviour is a need trying to be met.
    The truth resists simplicity.

    Hey Holly :) 

    Welcome , I hope you can find some comfort in the community when your having some difficult.

    I know how hard it is having a family member diagnosed with terminal cancer so I’m here if you ever want to rant or chat about that ❤️

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

    Welcome @holly60 :) 

    You're not alone, we're all here to support you through this <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 ❤
