Would you like to talk to us more about your struggle? We are here for you if you would like to share more with us
You have done so well at reaching out to us and telling us what you are experiencing! We are proud of you, you have shown a lot of courage. Would you like to tell us more about why you do not feel you deserve support and like you are just a burden if you talk about your problems?
We are here for you if you would like to share more with us but you only need to share as much or as little as you feel comfortable with
i just feel like im supposed to be the strong one, the supportive one. I feel like if i told people how i felt it would be selfish and not fair on them so i really try to look strong but its hard bc im really just breaking. I lost my stepmum, my cat and, my nan in the space of 4-5 months this year and its hard bc mentally ive declined and im really not good but i bottle it up and hide it.
It sounds really tough that despite having been through a really tough time, you think you are supposed to be the strong one, the supportive one.
It is really important to us that you are able to be yourself above all else. We care and you matter. You are doing so well at talking to us about how you are feeling and what you are experiencing.
It sounds like losing your step mum, your cat and your nan in the space of 4-5 months has meant you have declined mentally and you are not good but you bottle it up and hide it. Would you like to tell us more about what declining mentally and being not good look like for you at the moment?
Also, have you got the support you need in place for this at the moment or would you ideally have access to more support?
Some resources that might be able to support you further include:
Please feel free to keep us updated with how things are for you, we are all here for you
Basically declining mentally. My ed is getting worse, anxiety is worse, ive sunk into a deep lonliness, im low 24/7 and barely leave bed/the house (the only time I do is school) . I'm isolating from friends.
I have been offered therapy for my grief but I still don't know whether I should take it or not

i think the cons is just possibility of my dad finding out, telling someone too much (and wording it in a bad way acccidentally) and getting too overwhelmed woth it
and then i think the pros is just having someone to talk to, gettong help and maybe improve my emotions a little/create a better understanding of them
I'm sure there are lots of people here who can talk a bit about their experiences of counselling if you think that would be useful?
