    They weren’t supportive of me. I thought they would be there for me, tell me they’ll be here
    For me but they were none of that. They seemed to make it about them and wouldn’t let me talk, it’s my only support I don’t feel listened to

    Oh, well that sucks. :/ It's difficult enough to talk about those things without feeling like it's achieved nothing aswell.

    Have you ever spoken to a GP about how you're feeling, Libby? If you are open to talking about these things, then you might benefit from some proper counselling.

    @Past User I was the one who took the step to contact my GP and I was transferred to CAMHS, im not sure if I can go back as I don’t know what else support I can get because of my age.

    Don't know if I'm misremembering but I think I was around 16/17 when I started seeing my GP alone. I was never sent to see CAMHS though. Did I see you say you were in college or am I misremembering? Either way, your school / college may have a counsellor that you can go see?

    I’ve dropped out, I decided to leave. I can’t focus on college anymore, I’m missing my nana too much. It sucks :'( I just want to die 😭

    Ah, I understand. :/ Perhaps it's for the best that you take some time for yourself then. Sounds like you're going through more right now than most people have to before they're old. I'm sorry I don't know how CAMHS works, having not been a recipient of that service before. But these things are usually helped by a combination of medication and counselling, is that something you've discussed with them?

    I’m on medication, I’m just going through a lot that I can’t seem to process. I’m sorry for being a burden

    You keep saying that and I'll deny it every time! You're not a burden, and yes you are going through a lot, it's bound to be difficult to process.

    These things are especially difficult because all of those different things you're going through overlap, and the negative feelings from each feed into each other. It's important to turn those thoughts in to some kind of dialogue, because your perspective of them gets a little twisted when you're left to deal with them alone. Having a dialogue about those things can be really difficult as well, and you should take things at a pace you find comfortable, but actively working through those thoughts is very cathartic. Dialogue doesn't necessarily mean talking to somebody, although that can be especially helpful if the person you're talking to has a speciality in something you're going through. Like bereavement, issues with foster care, or bullying for example. A dialogue could also be something like journaling, where you write things down when you feel really upset. What are you thinking about? How does it make you feel? What triggered those thoughts? After you've written those things down, you read it back when you feel a little better, since it's much easier to process those thoughts when you're not actively fighting against them. How would you feel about keeping a journal like that?

    Just remember, you're not a burden! Hope you feel a little better soon.

    @Past User funny you talk about journals, I got given one for Christmas and I haven’t written in yet but I think I will write in it.

    I’m trying my best to cope this evening but it’s hard because I’m sick and tired of being upset, thank you for the kind support <3

    Life is so shit😭
