    @Rose113 you can probably find information online about it, potentially even other people trying to do the same thing. Donā€™t give up! <3

    My mental health worker said itā€™s really hard to get any support for me because everyone is scared of destabilising me and basically donā€™t want to kill me off
    But leaving me with nothing isnā€™t exactly helpful just because donā€™t have the responsibility of me

    Hey @Siena, I'm really hearing how much you're going through right now. It's so difficult to hear that your MH team aren't offering you any support for fear of destabilising you. This feels completely counter intuitive doesn't it! Do you have an idea of what kind of support you feel would be helpful for them to offer you at this point?

    I know you had built up some good relationships with some of your medical team, whether that be nurses or other support workers. Is there anyone you trust to share these frustrations with to see if they can help advocate for you? <3

    You shouldn't have to have these thoughts - feeling like you'd get more help if you were less stable. You're deserving of support now that works for you and to have a support system around you.

    Please remember that there are places you can turn to. If you are struggling, we do have our Crisis Messenger text service which provides free, 24/7 crisis support across the UK. You don't have to be in crisis to contact them. You can just text THEMIX to 85258.

    Sending big hugs and lots of strength <3

    It is completely fucked because they will say I am too unstable for therapy which basically means itā€™s intense and long meaning it can destabilise you even more if not ā€œstable enoughā€ which means like pushing you over the edge basically but I know if I was on that edge on that edge again right now they would offer help but because Iā€™m unstable in terms of self harm they donā€™t wanna do anything that will push me so itā€™s better to have not responsibility in their eyes like fair enough I donā€™t actually contribute to society maybe if I did full time in a good job they might care more but I am useless so I donā€™t blame them
    ā€œAnd when they look at you, they won't see everything you've been through. They won't see the **** that turned to scars that began to fade with time. They won't see the heartbreaking things that shook up and changed your entire world. They won't know how many tears you cried or even what it was you were crying about. They won't see how strong you had to be because you had no other choice. What they will see though is how compassionate you are because you experienced pain. What they will see is how kind you are because you experienced how cruel the world is. What they will see is how good you are because you've seen how bad things or people can be. The difference between you and your experiences are who you choose to be, despite everything that could have turned you cold and unkind.You are the good the world needs and the best of us.ā€ ~ Kirsten Corley

    I'm sorry to hear ur struggling with ur social worker situation and ur mental health, it sounds like you're feeling desperate for help? maybe it'd be a good idea to explain to ur social worker how this is all making u feel, if u feel comfortable doing so of course. Sending lots of love <3

    I've been feeling really anxious about things lately. It's affecting my sleep because I worry about not having a steady income, being single, and struggling to find work. Every day feels like a battle, especially since I haven't landed a job yet. Job hunting is particularly tough right now, and I fear I won't find anything stable. The thought of not securing a long-term job really worries me and makes me feel hopeless. Sometimes, I even worry about this situation becoming permanent.
