Which means im gunna have to pay her the money i didnt spend 😭.

Why does my sister have to say we have to get loads of presents

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.

    Hate having to pretend to be happy at this time of year 
    Sometimes all you need is one person to believe in you , for you to begin to believe in yourself.

    Next year I don't want to do present s. Just stressed me out and makes me over think. I like playing board games though. And won four pounds on scratch card

    My mum said to me over Christmas that she wouldnt kill herself if I succesfully killed myself she'd just rot and I can't stop crying about it since I got back to mine earlier😥 I think I am crying because that's what I want a succesful suicide but know how much it would break my mum❤ I've been holding the tears in over Christmas whilst at my mums but now I'm just breaking down.

    Hey @Past User

    I've just tweaked your last post a bit, as it went beyond our guidelines. It sounds like there has been a lot going on for you these past few weeks and also that the new year brings a lot of stress for you personally. I hope that you are able to find some space where you can allow yourself the time to process things. None of this is your fault, and you deserve to be supported through this. When you are feeling like self-harming, have you had a try of any of the suggestions on our article over here?

    It can also help to talk when feeling urges, the following services are open throughout Christmas:
    • Emergency services - if you are ever feeling unsafe, you can call the emergency services on 999 to get immediate help.
    • Samaritans - you can reach them anytime by calling 116 123.
    • Papyrus - they are open every day 10am-10pm weekdays, and 2-10pm on weekends/bank holidays. You can call them on 0800 068 4141.
    • Crisis Messenger - text TheMix to 85258 to speak to someone over text when you are feeling in crisis.

    Hope this helps and take care.

    Ed
