    hey <3 i won’t say exactly what she was saying but ill put it in a spoiler and add a tw

    tw// sh
    she kept showing me certain pics of things ( idk if i can say bc of guidelines) and it rly triggered me.

    she then went on to be rly horrible after i told her im rly triggered by this and she was making fun of my mum not being here anymore and im just sat here in a bawl of mess bc im rly upset abt this. :( idk why ppl think its okay to be so horrible.

    @eylah That is beyond cruel of her. Whoever she is, she is not a good person. You would do good to cut her off if you can, because that isn't a friend, that's somebody being cruel for cruelty's sake and you deserve better than that.

    @eylah no worries. You deserve support. I know it's overwhelming right now already, and to have all that on top, it's just extreme, but you are doing so well eylah. You really are. it's natural to be breaking down so much with everything happening, but there's always hope things might get better in future. It's small consolation right now, but, we've got your back friend, and we're all so proud of you.

    @eylah being able to sit here and talk to you and provide just a fraction of the kindness you've shown me and everyone else, back to you is something that actually makes me happy eylah. Please don't feel bad or worry about that at all. I promise, it's fine, i love helping and supporting. Please use this space to vent and talk freely. And if you feel a helpline with professionals might be better for you, that's fine too. You are an awesome person Eylah, and you deserve this support.

    @eylah letting it all out and allowing yourself to feel is one of the best things there is. It doesn't seem it, but being able to be open with those emotions, it can make a huge difference. Even if it isn't the full amount and you're still bottling things up, letting yourself cry and feel is the best thing there is and will ease perhaps a little of it bit by bit.
    I bottled stuff up for so long and went emotionally numb because for me, it was easier than letting myself feel. You are stunningly brave for having the courage to let yourself feel and cry, and i know how scary it is to do that.

    i want a life where im happy to wake up and be happy that im alive but its been years and years now since i single digits and it is not getting better if anything its getting worse and there’s nothing i can do abt it. im trying every day to help ppl bc helping ppl helps me but i feel so helpless rn that i am doing a shit job at helping ppl. i rly just hate myself as a whole i just want to be happy. loved & cared abt :(. life is torture.

    @eylah i get that. i really do. When it's been so long since you've been happy, it seems it will never come, and being unable to change it, it feels suffocating. But can i just say, that you have helped so many people on here so much, and you are doing an amazing job at it on here. You are actually the first person in my life to tell me that you are proud of me. You are doing an amazing job eylah, i want you to know that. And wanting to be happy loved and cared about by someone in your life, it really does help and is a basic human need, and it's heartbreaking you've not had that for such a long time.
    I hold on myself because I desperately hope things will get better in the future. I know it's not much consilation now, but things can improve. And for what it's worth, we're here for you, to talk whenever you want to, and to remind you about how great of a person you are. There's always hope things get better, it's just hard to see at times.

    so basically i posted a thread today about relationships/family and ive been thinking. who would honestly want to be in a relationship with me? its not that im ugly dont get me wrong. its just that i have cerebral palsy and its clearly visible if you looked at me. i use a kaye walker to walk around (if you dont know what that is i recommend you search it up) and my hips make me walk from side to side. i dont sway necessarily and it doesnt hurt when i walk but its noticeable. my posture is also not straight. i try to walk with a straight back but most of the time i just slouch whilst walking. i would get a picture of me walking but i dont think i can get one on my computer and edit it out to cover my face. ive also had people gossiping about me in the past that i look like a witch which is really cruel especially because i cant do anything about my disability other than some physio and maybe surgery. but theres no cure for cerebral palsy so surgery doesnt help me much in the long term. ive had two major surgeries in my life to do with my cerebral palsy, once when i was 8 and once when i was 15. i have two scars on the back of my legs because of it. ive also had another surgery when i was about 6 but i cant remember what it was about. it was probably just a minor surgery. anyways back to my point. would anyone want to willingly be in any sort of romantic, let alone sexual relationship with me? i feel like if i were to go on one of those dating contests or shows id be chosen last because of the way that i look. i feel like someone would rather choose an abled bodied person than me.

    i know it might seem like rn that noone would want to be in a relationship with you but there is a person out there for you. they always say ‘ there’s plenty of fish in the sea’ youre your own unique person and if someone can’t see how amazing you are then that’s on them! but youre an amazing person and i honestly believe that there is someone out there for you. i know im not making sense but i just wanted to reply to you bc you deserve to be heard and listened to. <3

    Hi, this thread is perfect aha
    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.
  • DonnerKebabDonnerKebab Posts: 284 The Mix Regular
    @eylah sorry, i had to step away for a short while to the shop. I'm here all evening, and as long as you need me to be. It's brutal showing such love to the world, and not getting any back. I may have mentioned with my younger brother my care role with him since i was 11. But he is so severe he has no mental comprehension of what words even mean. The concept of family, or anything like that he can't understand. He has the mind of a 6 month old at 18. So he doesn't know i'm his brother, or love anybody because he can't comprehend what these things are. It's painful showing such love and never getting any back. I know. And to lose the only person who did show you the love you deserved must be agonising.

    The fact is, just because the rest of the world has failed you, it doesn't mean that you deserved to be failed. Just because the rest o the world never showed you love, it doesn't mean you don't deserve it. You deserve to be loved for who you are, because who you are is lovely. Honestly. You are making perfect sense eylah. And you really don't know how impactful you saying your proud of me is. Even in the midst of a panic attack, you are still being so kind to others.

    Now, about the panic attack, are you feeling okay right now? Breathing good and everything? Sorry i took a while, i didn't see this message till i got back.

    @eylah You are an absolute queen. I'm kind because you deserve somebody to be kind to you. You are a special person, who's gone through a very hard time, and your still so very kind after it all. That is what makes you an amazing person. And the rest of the world that hasn't shown you that kindness you deserve, fuck them. Sorry for the language but i think it warrants those words. Don't worry about being unable to calm down, sometimes, it's okay to just let things like that run it's course sometimes, as long as you are safe and okay, just let those emotions run there course. I'm not an expert though so don't quote me on that.

    And, i think i know what your talking about about being scared of getting close to people and have them say that, but eylah, you do deserve to be told i love you, by me, everyone on the mix, and by everybody in real life cause of how kind you are. I'm speaking the honest truth here. You have all of us in your corner now, and i can say i'm the stubborn type who's not going anywhere. Sending you all the virtual hugs that can humanly be given, cause you deserve them.
  • eylaheylah Posts: 7,544 Master Poster

    @toffuna101 Somebody who loves you for you. I know it's a small consolation, but there are genuinely nice people out there who will love you for who you are. You are a great person on here. And that is the truth. Sure, your condition and the kay walker filters out all the people who just want to be with you for sex alone, but think of that as a good thing. You know, that when you find somebody, they will be by your side for you as a person, not based on looks, and not for sexual stuff, but you as a person. Looks fade, medical challenges happen for everybody and every relationship, and you will have the benefit of having somebody who is with you from the start of a relationship with similar struggles at the start. Think of it as an early loyalty test. Automatically filtering out everyone apart from those who love you for you. When you get into a relationship with somebody, your relationship will be stronger than one which is weathering no challenges. It's a small consolation, but it's something to consider.

    Not at all @Rose113 , you deserve that help. It's not hogging anything, you deserve it. I'm glad your finally getting some kindness from them and the guy was nice. Was the next person nice too?
