    “And when they look at you, they won't see everything you've been through. They won't see the **** that turned to scars that began to fade with time. They won't see the heartbreaking things that shook up and changed your entire world. They won't know how many tears you cried or even what it was you were crying about. They won't see how strong you had to be because you had no other choice. What they will see though is how compassionate you are because you experienced pain. What they will see is how kind you are because you experienced how cruel the world is. What they will see is how good you are because you've seen how bad things or people can be. The difference between you and your experiences are who you choose to be, despite everything that could have turned you cold and unkind.You are the good the world needs and the best of us.” ~ Kirsten Corley

    This morning really has proven how much pressure I put on myself when looking after others 😐
    Sometimes all you need is one person to believe in you , for you to begin to believe in yourself.

    Thanks, big hugs back xo. Just the usual really. My mind's in a really bad state. Right now my mind's kind of racing with these feelings and thoughts and I'm overwhelmed. Idk I just want to stop thinking :(

    I definitely relate to that. Sometimes our minds just go into overdrive and seem to be going 100 miles an hour. Is there anything you can do to distract yourself for a while? Maybe some tv or music or reading? Anything that gives your mind something else to focus on.

    yeah, I'm currently listening to my fav band which never fails to lift me up a tad haha. Still never leaves though. I'm desperate to feel better!...:( I must get round to seeing a doctor soon cause I think I'm on the verge of just totally losing the plot ha.

    Glad you have a band that cheers you up a bit. :) But I know what you mean about it never leaving you and always being there in the background. I think speaking to a doctor about it is a really good idea when you feel ready to. They might be able to offer something to help. I found counselling quite helpful when I first went to my doctor.

    Yeah, fingers crossed that a doc can help. Omg, I'll have to write everything down as I'm not sure where I'd begin in explaining everything to them!... I'm just so, like... It's so hard to describe in words cause it's just, like, something really wrong with my brain just torturing me and torturing me... xD I don't even know what a healthy state of mind feels like. But yeah, it's just all really bad, lately especially. Like, I want a way to feel better.

    Thanks a lot for your kindness btw 💖

    It's totally okay to write things down for the appointment, that's what I did! Whenever I try to talk to people about it my mind tends to go completely blank, so having some bullet points written down that I can even pass to the person if I find myself unable to speak really helps. I'm not sure I remember what a healthy mind feels like either! But wanting to feel better is definitely a good first step.

    Aw, you're welcome. I really relate to a lot of what you say and it helps talking to people who understand, especially if (like me) people in your real life don't. xx

    sending hugs to all those who may need them right now :heart:

    remember that we are here for each other 
    " And everywhere I am, there you'll be, your love made me make it through, oh I owe so much to you "
    " So I say thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing, thanks for all the joy they're bringing, who can live without it, I ask in all honestly what would life be? Without a song or a dance, what are we? So I say thank you for the music, for giving it to me "

    Feeling upset and hurt over stupid things that I probably have no right to feel upset and hurt over, and yet I still do. :'( Maybe I just expect too much from people?
