    hi <3 how is everyone?
    ppl dont always need advice. sometimes all they rly need is a hand to hold. an ear to listen. and a heart to understand them. 🧸

    I'm really sorry for being a burden but lately everything has just felt like too much and I'm really struggling with my anxiety and I'm worried about starting sixth form eventhough I'm staying at my current school. If anyone has any tips I'd really appreciate it. Again sorry for being such a burden I'm not normally like this I just don't really know where else to go for support

    Thank you so much for that @eylah. Hope I'm not bothering you. This sounds silly but the thing is I'm still struggling to cope with one of my teachers being arrested. He was my favourite teacher and he got arrested (as I mentioned in last weeks chat of you didn't get to read it ill do a quick overview) one of the teachers I trusted and deeply confided in was arrested for messaging minors and it still affects me even after like 6 months I still have nightmares and stuff about it and everyone's over it but I'm still not...

    I’m right back in that trap - having nothing to do so I don’t find meaningful things to do and it feels so demoralising. There’s hardly anything truly meaningful in my life right now. It’s kinda sad. But my brain is also loud as fuck as usual so it’s overwhelming too.

    @independent_. Im so sorry that your dealing with that I can kind of understand. I felt like that after my exams. It feels weird and it can be demoralising when theres nothing to do. I don't know if its the same for you but personally I felt really empty and out of place. I tried self care, simple things like meditation or watching a show I like. Life can be so full and overwhelming sometimes its best to flip the situation on its head and see it as an opportunity to relax and have time for yourself. As for your brain give it a name (mines called Barry) and tell it to shut up and that its wrong youll be suprised how well it works! I hope that helps and that you'll feel better soon and keep us all updated! 🤗. Sending hugs

    @Cutelivejazz thank you - i like the idea of giving the brain a name.

    I’ve had 5 years of this now - left education 5 years ago and have lived a boring, purposeless life ever since. I don’t even know if it’s boredom because there’s things I could be doing. It’s like a mental block. Sorry to hear you’ve felt the same.

    Some days are worse than others and seems today is going to be one of them.

    @independent_. Im sorry you've been dealing with this for that long it sounds really difficult. Just know it isn't your fault the job market is shit atm ive been looking for work experience and it is so difficult to find anything so I can empathise. For me (because I'm a fairly extroverted person) I find joy in spending time with friends and family and I always make a list of things I'm looking forward to and that helps keep me going I hope I've been able to help even if it's a tiny bit. Hope you feel better. 🤗

    I've also done that thing where you name your brain specifically I've named my anxiety "Andy" and when ever I get anxious or feel nervous I just think oh it's just Andy overthinking again. I totally get youbwith the whole trying to find meaningful things to do because whenever I start something I sometimes half abandon it and end up then starting something completely new. Although I am trying to properly finish things I start. Sometimes our brains can be noisy can't they?. Some days will be harder than others. I sometimes think it's alright to have unproductive days though because sometimes you can't always be doing everything now and then. I struggle with that same feeling of boredom especially coming out of a TV and film traineeship and temporary work at whsmiths. I know I got my internship next week which I am looking forward to.

    @eylah thank you, and i really can't express how much that really does mean to me. a little over 4 months ago, i never had a single friend in my entire life, and never thought i ever would, but on here, despite everything that happened, i can't even begin to express how much it means to me to have you as a friend. My favourite twat in the world, and slightly better twat of the twat duo <3

    In brighter news, i picked up some strange looking fruit at the shop today
