    @Past User I am so so sorry you feel this way. I know it may be really difficult right now but please try to remember that you will not feel like this forever :(

    Have you reached out to your doctor? They may be able to speak to you about some treatments for these issues you are having!

    You may also find it beneficial to reach out to SHOUT (85258), The Samaritans (166 123) or Papyrus (0800 068 4141). We are all here for you and support you <3

    Hey @Past User

    I'm really sorry to hear you're struggling right now, and thank you so much for reaching out to us. It can be really difficult to cope with so much at once. Reaching out is a really important step, so well done for doing that! Have you been able to speak to your GP about these feelings or any other mental health support services? You deserve support and to feel heard.

    Sending you so much love right now <3

    Just dropping by to echo what’s already been said, I am so sorry to hear the pain you are in right now. Are you safe, do you have anyone around you? I know you said you’d rather be alone but just wanted to check you have people there if you need them. 💜

    Hey @Past User

    Thanks for reaching out to us. I always appreciate how much courage it must take to reach out. I am really pleased to see all the wonderful support already provided by @daisyella12, @Brookee, and @Lucy307.

    However, I did just want to ask you if you would like to talk to us about why you are hurting, what cycle you are in, why you are struggling to sleep, and why you don’t want to talk to your friends? or anything else for that matter? Hopefully, this will mean that we can provide you with the best support possible. If not, at least it means you hopefully feel heard because that's what you deserve.

    It is okay to take things at your own pace, and only do what you feel comfortable with. It sounds like you are going through a really tough time at the moment, and it is super important that you take care of yourself.

    Please know that we are always here for you and listening to you. Sending you big hugs! <3

    Hey @Past User

    You are more than welcome. Support is the very least you deserve. I am glad you managed to speak to someone today and are feeling a little better.

    I am so sorry to hear you have had a few hard days. I really believe in a quote that states “the sunshine is always there; it is just hidden behind the clouds sometimes”.

    I hope sunshine comes out again for you soon as you deserve the happiness and relief! Sending you hugs in the meantime. Please remember we are always here for you, and listening to you <3

    @Past User You're dealing with a great deal of pain right now, and you're doing the best you can. It may be difficult to reach out to others, but reaching out here is such an incredible and important step you've taken. You're never alone, even when it feels that way, we're here for you. Depression is so complex, and can really hone in on our brain's negativity bias, but I just wanted to say that I think you're doing incredible, even getting up each morning is an incredible achievement, it may take a while to feel able to reach out to people in real life again, but that's not a reflection upon you. You're dealing with so much, there's only so much we can cope with at once. Do you feel able to talk more about what's going on for you right now? No pressure at all! <3

    Hey @Past User

    You are more than welcome. It is the very least we could do to support you. I am sorry to hear yesterday was bad as well. Would you like to talk to us about this? Please know that I reiterate @Brooke's words. Please take your time and do what feels right for you. It never makes you a bad person! <3
