I don’t know what’s triggered this crisis but I feel awful
“And when they look at you, they won't see everything you've been through. They won't see the **** that turned to scars that began to fade with time. They won't see the heartbreaking things that shook up and changed your entire world. They won't know how many tears you cried or even what it was you were crying about. 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. The difference between you and your experiences are who you choose to be, despite everything that could have turned you cold and unkind.You are the good the world needs and the best of us.” ~ Kirsten Corley

Will probably just tire myself out and go home when my family expect me. Embarrassing coward to kill myself
You're doing really well reaching out to us and it's reassuring to hear you're feeling safe at the moment. You've shown a lot of strength in fighting against these thoughts and doing what you need to look after yourself. We're hearing how much you're going through and we're here if you want to share a bit more about what's going on for you.
To help you continue to stay safe today, when you've been in crisis before, what do you feel has helped you during those moments?
If you do begin to feel unsafe or would like any additional support outside of The Mix, remember these organisations are always just a call or text away anytime you need them:
We're all here for you and you're not alone today
I really hope this isn’t going to start a reoccurring thing again because I feel tired of it already. Like ffs either kill self or don’t. I am embarrassed & just completely fed up
I got through work today. I really thought I wouldn’t as soon as I started. Really felt awful but I just kept with it. Still feel awful yet numb
Sending hugs,

Experiencing such painful, intense emotions can be both overwhelming and isolating. We are here with you to work through this together. It can be so very unsettling to go through an unbearable time after having a period of progress, I understand that this can feel quite defeating. You are worthy of reaching a point of stability again. May I ask if you are receiving support and if so, what this is? I'm curious as to whether you have a mental health team or a counsellor who is helping you navigate through these really challenging emotions.
I hope you feel that moment of relief that you very much deserve, take care.
Is there anything that helps you through these difficult times?
I wish you nothing but the best, please take care of yourself. Let us know how you are doing,
Fiona
I’m not doing well. I’m scared I won’t make it to see my niece & become an auntie
