    Hey @Past User, I'm really sorry to hear that you've been feeling terrible. Thank you for reaching out about this <3

    I would just like to ask if there's anything that helps you whenever you're feeling low? This include partaking in a hobby - what do you enjoy doing? This can help you feel less stressed and more relaxed.

    Here are a few more suggestions that may help:
    - reading a good book
    - watching a good movie or tv show
    - going out for a walk for some fresh air and exercise
    - writing all your feelings out in a journal

    I really hope you feel better soon and that this helps <3

    Sending hugs,

    Kai <3

    @Past User, knitting is a wonderful hobby! :3 What kind of things do you like to knit? I can see how it can be enjoyable and relaxing, so maybe you might feel better spending some time doing it <3

    Hi @Past User

    It's lovely to see that you are able to find some relief via knitting scarves and baby socks. A family member of mine used to knit baby items like these for the infants at the local maternity wards, this can be such a fulfilling and rewarding past-time. Perhaps this is something you could look into?

    Though coping mechanisms are fantastic at helping us push along, how do you feel about looking into some longer-term support options? I'm curious as to whether you have considered counselling? I have seen some of your other posts and thought I would suggest the therapeutic services offered by Barnado's for those who have been affected by adoption: https://www.barnardos.org.uk/adopt/link-adoption-support-service

    These resources may also be helpful:

    I understand you may feel apprehensive about looking into this, the prospect of discussing such sensitive feelings with others can be intimidating, but you've done a great job so far. You are deserving of support throughout these tough times.

    Take care.
