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

    All behaviour is a need trying to be met.

    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 ❤️

    Aimee :) 
    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 ❤
