    I want to get out of bed. But I just cant. Being cold doesn’t help either
    “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.

    There is someone, somewhere in a hospital bed right now wishing they have the opportunity I have right now. And I am just wishing I could be dead:(

    Firstly well done for doing something that will benefit you so much in the long term!!! It will always feel confusing after because we get used to being with certain people. We're here for you  <3<3

    Feeling paranoid and anxious about my guinea pig is... not fun you could definitely say.

    Also, I keep trying to tell myself at least that I've been paranoid so many times and everything's been okay, but... one day, it's not going to be fine... All creatures die one day. She's turning 4 years old in a couple of months, she's getting older and... Well she's so precious to me. And one day, even if it's years away, I'm going to approach her and find her not breathing:( I know that sounds ridiculous but... And I feel like I fail her...

    yeah I dunno I know I need a doc and I'll see one very soon but in the meantime all hugs are appreciated.

    Big hugs @kathleen0172 I think on some level it's natural to worry about our pets. My cat is only 1 and I still sometimes find myself thinking about when the day comes when he's not there anymore and getting all teary thinking how I won't cope... and he's only 1! I guess it comes from loving them so much and seeing them as part of our family. But I think I'd rather have that amazing strong connection with animals, even if I know it will one day cause me pain, than miss out on that connection altogether.

    Still don’t know how I feel about getting rid of a friend yesterday - we were such good friends until October last yesr when she stared to use me. I know it’s for the best but I just don’t know if it was the right thing

    It's always really hard to lose a friend, whatever the circumstances. But if she's one of those people who's just using you for their own benefit then I think you're better off without her in the long run. Better to surround yourself with people who really care about you.

    We were such good friends for years until October when she started hanging around with someone who was no good and I tired to tell her that. Since October she only ever wanted to know me when said friends had annoyed her or upset her or was busy - I was always seen as second best. But now I question Weathwr I made the right decision

    It's horrible to feel second best all the time @Millie2787 so I can completely understand your decision. Maybe it will be a wake up call for her and she'll try harder, you never know.

    Sorry @kathleen0172 I didn't mean to minimise what you're going through, it sounds horrible. I hope it's something you can add to your list to mention to the doctor when you see them.
