My Mind šŸ’”šŸ˜­šŸ–¤

Former MemberFormer Member Keep being you<3Posts: 1,489 Wise Owl
This might be a trigger warning
So my mind has been all over the place really mostly when Iā€™m bored I suddenly feel really low and I question things a lot sometimes I think Iā€™m better off not being here because if you didnā€™t know I havenā€™t got many friends just because Iā€™m in a wheelchair I think and there is nothing else wrong I just canā€™t walk but people donā€™t understand that I canā€™t change that it just upsets me when I donā€™t have very many friends and the ones I do have nearly always start drama.
This boy in my class liked me for ages but Iā€™ve never felt the same but I got with him to make him happy but I do t think it was working out so I broke up with him because I didnā€™t have the same feelings as him I think itā€™s all my fault that I broke up with him but I just didnā€™t feel the same I couldnā€™t just carry on like it.
Before all that tho I went to online date and I kept getting played they would stay with me for a day and then block me. All I want is to find my soulmate one who understands me and wonā€™t mess around but I donā€™t think I ever will which is making me feel like crap šŸ„ŗšŸ˜­šŸ˜£

    Hey Emoji,

    I'm sorry to hear you've got a lot on your mind right now, I think it's understandable to feel worse when your bored because you've got more time to think about things and your mind isn't busy.

    I don't have much advice for you but just wanted to say it's great you're opening up here and we're always here.

    In terms of relationships you'll find the right person one day, it might take some time and there might be a few who aren't right for you, but eventually you'll find someone who is if you keep on looking! <3

    Big hugs <3

    @AislingDM Yes Iā€™m not going to lie it is difficult and confusing and on top of all that to is more problems now.
    Thankyou so much for saying that thatā€™s so lovely of you to say.
    We can be friends if you wantā¤ļø
    Yes that is amazing that I finally started working. The job has been going good I think I enjoy the job.
    You can also call me by my name if you want my name is Alina.
    That sounds nice what chocolate cake have you got ā¤ļøāœØ
  • AislingDMAislingDM Moderator Posts: 1,666 Extreme Poster
    You're too kind Alina (lovely name btw!!) friendship is a beautiful thing and I love you offering that to me - defo <3@Emoji246

    But 100% I get what you mean being in such a baffling position is never nice! You mentioned a happy relationship being really important to you - and this makes sense because relationships can bring us such happiness - I'm wondering if you've ever had a look at the Brook's website? because it really does have some awesome advice about processing the end of relationships, but also general feelings around love, romance and sexuality. URL here if you'd like to have a little look, more than fine if not :)

    https://brook.org.uk/topics/relationships/

    I'm sorry to hear that there are more problems now :( That must make everything all the more overwhelming for you. I want you to know that you're more than welcome to vent out your problems and feelings here if you'd like!

    I'm curious, does the job involve working with others?

    CAKE was amazing I cannot lie - cannot go wrong with a beautiful mousse/ganache choco cake ;)

    Hey @_Tech_Addict_Girl :)

    How are you feeling now?

    @Zen Hey how are you ā˜ŗļø

    Hi @_Tech_Addict_Girl who
    I'm a wheelchair users too. Relationship in general can be tricky when we are disabled, particularly because it is visible that will put some people off. I have developed the kind of attitude of that if people cannot accept that I am disabled then I do not have the extra energy into maintaining a "friendship" with them. I have chronic fatigue and have very limited capacity, I cannot afford to waste energy in people who try and change me.
    Are you part of any organisations that allow you to meet other young, disabled people? I do wheelchair basketball as an idea?
    How many friends you have or wether you are non-disabled has nothing to do with your worth.
    Ge

    @sailingswallows Hey and welcome to the boards I donā€™t think Iā€™ve seen you around before so welcome and aw thatā€™s nice to here your in a wheelchair too. Yes I agree it can be really hard and especially when I get attached to the person because I get attached easily. No Iā€™m not in an organisation. I have been in another long distance relationship for a few weeks tho is that bad? Also his at his dads house today well he has for the weekend but he says he will ring when he gets home but his having drinks with his dad but I was on the phone to him earlier and he said he canā€™t wait to speak to me again later do you think that is true what he said? But he wonā€™t be back till 1-2 and he said I donā€™t want to keep you waiting because I have to have a shower too when I get back.
    I agree with you if people donā€™t expect you donā€™t bother but Iā€™m kind of different like that I worry that people donā€™t like meā¤ļø.

    @Zen Iā€™m not too bad ā¤ļø

    I used to be like that, if anyone showed any kind of interest or anything I would kind of cling onto it and so anything to keep it going, when I learnt more about my self, I learned when my body was telling me the situation was not right.
    Long distance relationships are bad, as with all relationship try not to lose yourself into the relationship. You don't have to be a doormat and do what ever anyone asks to have friends.
    People respect when you can be yourself.
    I used to worry that people dont like me and sometimes I still do however part of it is that most of my social interactions now are in supportive environment or with existing friends (currently maintaining around 4 close I don't think I would manage much more).
    I would strongly recommend finding a group that fits with an interest, it doesn't have to involve other disabled young people, but if it does bonus. None of my friends come from an educational environment.

    @sailingswallows Iā€™m glad you went with what your body was telling you that was a very good thing to do I will try my best not to be too attached to the relationship because I know if it ends I will be really upset and hurt about it but fingers crossed it wonā€™t happenšŸ„ŗI will try and go in an organisation what you said and try it. Also about worry about people not liking you and overthinking actually messes with peoples head it certainly messes with mine alotā¤ļøBut working hard to try not and overthink
  • AislingDMAislingDM Moderator Posts: 1,666 Extreme Poster
