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

    I admit I've not done everything perfectly, I've not stuck to every rule 100% of the time, but I've really tried and I think the majority of people are the same. 

    But when lockdown was first slightly lifted I was really not in a good mental place and at that time going out helped (and getting hammered brought some funny memories haha)

    I think anyone would be lying if they said they 100% followed the lockdown rules. A few times I didn't, for the sake of my mental health
  • SienaSiena Posts: 15,750 Skive's The Limit
    Yeah same. I think everyone broke the rule at some point

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.

    And I don’t think need to have mental illness to be the excuse. Everyone has mental health and we all need to sometimes keep our sanity

    @independent_
    Got any new music you've come across at all?
  • independent_independent_ Community Champion Posts: 9,121 Supreme Poster
    I do know of some people who are being really judgy of anyone who's ever broken the rules. I can understand that attitude if people are having huge house parties but sometimes we do have to prioritise ourselves even for a moment.

    My housemate had a house party and played the mental health card lololol she lost that argument very quickly and said some pretty shitty stuff about people with mental illness and that she was using it as an excuse to see friends... 
    I was like... Just go for a walk with them?!?

    Same. I feel lost and trying to find new music hahah what you listened to recently?
  • SienaSiena Posts: 15,750 Skive's The Limit
    The lyrics have been changing when I have been listening to music recently. They tell me suicidal and teiggering tbings. I don’t usually hear things tho. It’s only been with music recently so not listening to much atm

    I need to find some new films to watch too lol. Feel like I've watched everything on Netflix
  • independent_independent_ Community Champion Posts: 9,121 Supreme Poster
    I hate when people blatantly use it as an excuse. Most people who actually struggle a lot with their mental health don't do it like that. You do not need a massive house party to improve your mental health.

    I feel the same with netflix. Watched everything I'd have an interest in. 

    Tbh I just like songs, if I like a song I'll listen to it. Really like James Bay's new song called Chew on My Heart

    Has anyone else heard lyrics changing telling you to kill yourself? And saying triggering stuff ?

    My playlists are so random it's actually funny

    It’s not even with sad songs. It’s any songs that I know the lyrics for and I know it’s in my head. But they’re first singing the lyrics then it goes to same voice but slightly different saying not what the lysis are suppose to be

    I have some already created ones I searched for that I love lol I'll send you them in a bit. Just gonna sort out my laundry 😂
  • independent_independent_ Community Champion Posts: 9,121 Supreme Poster
    Oh @Shaunie that makes sense, I don't think I've had that happen but I definitely read lyrics differently depending on how I feel. 

    To be fair most of my songs are either really really sad or really inappropriate lol, that's what I mean by random playlists
