    I’ve just had a moment of clarity, in the shower of all places. That a conversation needs to be had with someone, not with a goal in mind, but full and brutal honesty. I’m done pretending things are fine. But i need to sit with my own thoughts first, maybe even write them down, work out how i picture my side of the chat going.

    @independent_ Sometimes those moments hit when we're not expecting it! It sounds like it is a conversation you feel needs to happen, and there is a lot of courage in having those tough chats with people. I know you've said you've been having a lot of busyness in your head right now, do you think this conversation topic might have been one of the worries for you right now?

    @Leyla yes I’d say it’s a massive worry but it obviously took my brain a while to catch on and think clearly about it. It’s one of those where there’s no good time but it needs to happen and I need to stop putting it off, other than putting it off for a while to work through it in my head first.

    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 struggling right now. Everything feels so heavy and exhausting and it's hard to find the energy to keep going when I just want everything to stop. Part of me wants to move out as soon as I'm old enough which would probably be supported living, but I don't know how I'd go about it and I don't feel prepared for adulthood in the slightest. I feel silly for saying all that for some reason, I guess I'm just not used to talking about how I'm actually feeling. I'm safe.

    @independent_ It makes sense this is becoming a massive worry at the moment, but something you want to think clearly about. Remember we're here if you need to talk things through with us first to help you process an understand, or even just to get things off your chest. We're always here to support!

    I wanna say hi to people from work but I feel too scared, I want to make convos, I want to push myself to do it, maybe even tomorrow

    @Nemuritai It can be difficult when everything feels so heavy and exhausting to find the energy to keep going. I'm hearing that you've been thinking of moving out and maybe into supported living, but that's something you don't feel ready for yet. I'm wondering if you might share more about what has led to you feeling this way recently? No pressure to share though of course!

    Hi @Callum, sorry about the late reply. It's difficult to explain exactly, but it's mostly not getting on with my family and not feeling supported or able to grow as a person at home - I'm safe though. I don't know if that makes any sense, but I generally feel like I'll be a lot happier when I'm able to move out. I don't know a lot about how moving into supported living in the future actually works though, where to find information about it, or when I'll be old enough for that to be possible. I apologise for the ramble.

  • CallumCallum Community Manager Posts: 256 The Mix Regular

    @Nemuritai It can be so frustrating when you feel like you don't get on with your family and have to live with them, it makes sense you'd be looking at moving out. When you say you don't get on with them, what does that look like for you?

    No need to apologise about your post, it sounds like thinking about moving out is something that's causing you some stress, which is normal, and we're here for you through that.
