We're all here for you if you'd like to share more .
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 .
Take good care of yourself today,
Gemma
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
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

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?
