I really can hear how much immense pain you are in right now, @kels1278 , your couple of posts have really shown just how distressed you are at the minute. Wanting to escape this pain is understandable, but I promise you that you truly do deserve to be here I'm just wanting to check in with you, are you feeling safe right now? xx

I’m fine, I always be fine in the end. If I don’t pick myself up no one else is going to do it

I wanted to acknowledge some of the feelings behind what you shared here. It sounds like you're feeling pretty... exhausted? That feeling of tiredness and 'I'll always be fine in the end' is something a lot of people experience when they live with chronic mental health challenges. Dealing with these things for a long time is emotionally draining, and it's understandable and normal to want to drink.

Do you mind if I ask, is there anything you can share with us that might provide more context to how you're feeling? Is there anything specific making you want to drink (e.g. life challenges)?

You've done well to connect with us here. Reaching out for support is never an easy thing to do and this community is always here to support you where we can.
