    Here with you @River <3
    Make sure u do whats best for u tonight i know theirs sometimes the feelings of allowing people down if you don’t go for dinner but would you be able to talk to your family maybe about how you’re feeling and tell them that going out for dinner tonight might not be the best option for you and might make you feel worse?

    Supposed to be going out for dinner later with my family but I don't want to go, it makes me wanna relapse :s

    Hey @River, we're here for you and it's really positive that you are reaching out for support. <3

    When you say your urges are bad, can you let us know if these are self-harm urges? It sounds really difficult to be experiencing those thoughts. Would you be able to let us know if you feel like you can keep yourself safe today?

    The organisation Mind has a great article with some tips on coping with urges to SH. There are also apps like Calm Harm and distrACT with tips and techniques on coping with SH that you might like to look into.

    If you'd like some text based support, Crisis Messenger is open 24/7 everyday. To access this support, you can text THEMIX to 85258.

    Keep reaching out for support and remember you're not alone <3

    It's really positive that you feel you can keep safe River, thank you for letting us know. <3

    I'm sorry that the text helpline still isn't working on your phone, that's super frustrating. Remember there are other support services available when you're struggling, like Samaritans, Papyrus, Calm, Kooth, or your local urgent mental health helpline. We care about you and are sending you lots of strength.

    We're here for you River and hope you can find some nice distractions this weekend to look after yourself. <3

    Anyone else here who has a chronic loneliness? I feel like an outsider everywhere I go. I hide it by acting cheerful and friendly but really I’m looking for someone to talk to about this.

    You're in the right place for this @dyoverdx. You're welcome to start your own dedicated discussion on loneliness, or if you wanna hangout with the folks here, there's the chit chat thread or live General Chats which happen Sun-Thurs at 8pm. :)

    Also, unrelated, but I love your picture.

    Just seeing my mum and dad being underappreciated by nan breaks my heart. She went to A + e the other day for her water infection but still sees the world in my one uncle who hardly visits her and doesn't even know she has dementia or is in pain. It feels like it's tearing apart my family right now. I want to offer help to people but everyone says they are okay. At least I offer to help.

    My "friend" was saying why am I still at college in my 20s, he's pretty judgemental, I only talk to him because my other friends do and it might just cause more issues if I talk to the others but not him
