    I can really hear how you are struggling with your feelings at the moment @ellie2000, especially when you compare yourself to other people. People do cope in different ways and people have different circumstances they face.

    It is positive to hear you are being directed to the right people in the new town you are in. Are these like people who can provide you with support or other people? You always deserve to feel listened to but we recognise this has, unfortunately, taken a while for you to feel heard :/

    That's a really big question indeed @ellie2000. It's a question that I'm sure plays in your mind often which I'm sure is really hard.
    I'm hearing a lot of regret in that question and a feeling of not being listened to before. Possibly feeling like things wouldn't have escalated to this point if you'd been supported when things where going on? Is that kinda right?

    I just want to say that you're doing so well for reaching out again and getting the support you need, I'm really glad you're being pointed to the right people in your Town.
    It's not fair that the support wasn't there before and I'm so sorry that things have continued. Thinking backwards and wishing things were different is an easy spiral to get into but I think if you can try to focus on what you have going for you now, it might help a little.
    Try to be kind to yourself and focus on your own strengths. I'm sure there are lots of people that look at you and wish they had your qualities too.

    heya @ellie2000 how are you doing this morning? being kind to yourself means in short looking after ur own wellbeing and allowing yourself to feel the way you do without judgement.hope that makes sense <3
