    @Past User thank you for bravely sharing that with us <3. I'm really sorry to hear this - I can see how upsetting that would have been to see those articles and to find out about your dad. It can't have been easy to read that.

    I wondered if there was anything that led you to google your birthparents yesterday?

    How are you holding up after finding this out? We're all here for you <3.

    Take good care of yourself today,
    Gemma :)

    Hey @Past User
    Thank you for sharing this with us, it takes a lot of bravery to be as open as you are about mental health and the trauma you've been through. You did the right thing talking about it with someone, even if they didn't react as well as they should have. Is there anyone else you'd be comfortable talking to, any authority figure perhaps?

    I'm sorry that seeing articles about your abuse and knowing your father died is causing you to feel depressed. It must have been very overwhelming to see that there's information online about you/that relates to you you weren't aware about, especially when it comes to sensitive topics such as abuse or your biological parents. Have you tried doing anything to destress and feel more grounded? Do you have any coping mechanisms that would help you in this situation?

    Sending hugs,
    Sara

    @Gemma I was curious about them and didn't expect to see articles and things that I didn't know about.

    I feel low again and depressed and feel like crying but idk anymore

    I'm sorry to hear that your dad passed away recently in 2022, I can imagine how much processing that must be for you especially after doing a recent google search. I'm always here if you need someone to talk to <3

    I'm really sorry to hear about your dad @Past User. It's understandable to be finding this really difficult and wanted to echo everyone else's kind words to say how brave you are. It also sounds important to you to now meet your birth mum and brothers. Do you know what the next steps are in trying to set this meeting up?

    If you are looking for specific bereavement support, Hope Again is a service for young people up to 25 who are affected by a bereavement. They're run by Cruse Bereavement Care and they offer support via phone, email & have online support through their website too. You can call them on 0808 808 1677 or email them at hopeagain@cruse.org.uk.

    I'm also hearing how it's feeling hard to stay safe at the moment. What's helped you before when you've been struggling with suicidal thoughts? I know you've found Calm a helpful place to reach out to before. Are you feeling able to reach out to them again?

    Maybe somethings don't get better, but we do. We get stronger. We learn to live with our situations as messy and ugly as they are. We fix what we can and we adapt to what we can't. Maybe some of us will never fully be okay, but at least we're here. We're still trying. We're doing the best we can. That's worth celebrating too ❤
