Ugh

I'm so fucking done with everything and so fucking fed up of my head
Sometimes when the people most like you don't love you, it is a hurt that can cause the greatest pain, and this pain can lead you to hate everything.

I'm hearing how much you're going through right now and how hard it's all feeling. You're doing really well sharing how you're feeling with us here. Do you feel comfy sharing a bit more with us about what's been going on for you and if you're feeling safe at the moment?
If you're feeling unsafe at any point, remember these services are here for you:
Keep reaching out whenever you need to River, you deserve support always
It sounds like it's been a really tough night last night, I remember you mentioning in another thread it's your anniversary today which has in the past triggered some traumatic memories for you. Is how you're feeling related to today?
Writing can be a really helpful way to unpack everything and how we're feeling, but it can also be hard doing that as we process things. Someone once said to me it often feels worse when we start talking about things we're going through before it feels better, I wonder if it's all feeling quite raw at the moment after writing these things out?
We hope you're doing okay River, big hugs your way
Anniversaries each year can be the hardest days to experience and I'm sorry to hear you've not been able to write poetry, I know that's usually something that helps when you're struggling. You've been really brave to reach out to us, we're all here for you today and we'll have our Friday chat thread running this evening if you wanted to come along to that too?
I also remember you mentioned your mum has made the day feel more difficult as she sees it a bit differently to you. How have things been with her today?
Is there anything you usually do as a distraction to some of the negative thoughts you're describing? It might be helpful to start with some grounding techniques and then go on from there? I'll link a nice article here for you to have a look at if that sounds like something you might want to try.
Let us know how it goes and we are here if you want to talk throughout the day, River. Sending hugs!
Do you have a road trip playlist? It's always my favourite thing to make before going on one!🚙 ⭐
Hopefully this allows you to regain some control over the anniversary and set a boundary with mum about the day? Hope this helps!
