My housemates are going out for the weekend (well Friday-Saturday). And in my head its just screaming 'this is your chance'.

Heyy
wel-done for posting this.

big hugs *hug*
keep us posted
We are here for u
chats on tonight if u like to come and share it with us. 8-10 We want to help and support u all the way
It's really good you've recognised this as a trigger. Is there a safe place you can go to this weekend? Could you head back home? Visit a different friend? You don't necessarily have to tell the person that you feel you are in danger but I think it'd be really helpful for them to know.
Big hugs to you
I'm sure you've mentioned in previous threads but are you getting support from a mental health team, therapists or anyone at uni?
I see a psych and a CPN. Got an appointment with the CPN tomorrow.
Please tell your CPN. They should be able to get someone from the crisis team to visit over the weekend if you feel unsafe. Also, don't underestimate the power of sharing your feelings; Saneline and the Samaritans are worth it even as a distraction.
Do you have other mates you can call? People you don't see often you could just arrange to call for a chat (you don't have to tell them how bad you're feeling)?
Is there anything else you can do over the weekend that would keep you out of the house and occupied. Kids club activity day, planet huggers beach clean up, duty at the sailing club etc?
Good girl .
I should also be around on Friday evening/Saturday morning if you need a distraction and want someone to poke.
And I'm always always around if you really need me. No matter what x
Postive to hear you are considering talking to your CPN, very prud of you, do keep us updated on how things are going for you *hug*'s! Just wanted to respond offering a few hugs!
*hug*
:yes:
*hug*
I've changed my mind. He's definitely a cockbag *hug*
YSH, you're ace and he's a sweaty ballsack. *hug*
Thinking of you lots. Completely understand you may not be in the mood to talk about it but we're all thinking of you.
I phoned the out of hours team yesterday, and Arctic was also very nice to me.
Still feeling pretty bloody awful this evening. Left my exam over an hour early. I have no idea who I am anymore.
I don't have a single friend I can talk to about this. Any of it. I really don't have anybody.
I've had 2 tutor meetings this week, it's been quite hard to talk about stuff but having people aware at uni can only be a good thing I guess. I've taken the rest of the day off, just couldn't quite manage a whole week.
I feel slightly better about tonight. I did have plans but I think I've minimised the risk by doing a number of things. Probably too much detail to post here. I'm still going to be alone though. I've started self-harming quite a bit again. For years it has been every other month to once every 6 months or longer. I feel a bit of a failure, I must have been about 14 when I was last hurting myself daily. I thought I was past all this.
I just want to be well and to enjoy life. I want to make people proud and be able to be proud of myself
Yes, it might not be grea that youre self harming, but it's not the end of the world. I can only imagine how frustrating it might feel to think you'd stopped, but as you've shown before, you can stop again but it doesn't need to be this week. It's not the best coping tactic, but it sure as he'll aint the worst thing to be doing either.
i agree that you're being really pro-active. you certainly have a lot to be proud of even though you can't see it yet. i think what you're doing now is great, tackle things in bitesize chunks and please dont put too much pressure on yourself. it may not feel like much but it is progress and you are stepping forward.
also dont feel bad about posting. we care about you a lot here and it's one of the reasons this forum is here.
