Something bad is happening. I’m scared. Need someone to help stop my head, to stop scared feeling. Need to be better. Everything hurts feels lost alone hopeless painful lifeless

    Sending huge hugs Natalie <3 Do you want to talk about the bad thing happening, or any more about those emotions (e.g the hopelessness)?

    It sounds really awful. Can we do anything to help?

    I’m scared of New Year’s Eve, of the bad things that could happen. 
    I want to say but I’m scared to here. I haven’t talked about it without needing to, 
    I feel vulnerable, and I feel like I’ve one big internal knot stopping me. 
    Can you be trapped by fear? Is it ok to say it, what makes it ok to say it?

    Hey @NatalieMT

    It's understandable to be feeling scared and vulnerable. Reaching out for help and sharing our true feelings can be a really scary thing to do. It's always okay to share here, we won't ever judge you. We're all here to listen and help you through this always. <3

    Do you mind me asking what you're feeling most scared about? 
    Maybe somethings don't get better, but we do. We get stronger. We learn to live with our situations as messy and ugly as they are. We fix what we can and we adapt to what we can't. Maybe some of us will never fully be okay, but at least we're here. We're still trying. We're doing the best we can. That's worth celebrating too ❤

    I’m scared that it’ll all become too much to bare, that this year I won’t be able to cope or get through it, I attempted to end my life December 2018, the build up to what is just a date, all became too much. I wasn’t the strong person anymore. My key person saved me, stopped me, made me see I had Darcey who didn’t think I was a bad person or hates me. It was Darcey I was here, I got past the date, carried on with the court case.

    The difference this year he’s in prison, should feel safer, but fear has set in and so has the same scary thoughts. 

    I am scared I will lose my mind/control. 

    I’m tired of the control he has over my thoughts, my being, some days I’m just Darceys mother, others I’m this thing a monster hurt and not good enough.

    On New Year’s Eve, I was 13 he tricked me, bad things happened, I was drunk, had drugs (not to my knowledge, I was unable to focus, to move myself, and I don’t know how much I can say about it here? If it’s allowed? I wasn’t in control of my own body. It was like I was unconscious, I don’t remember everything from that night, but what I do remember terrifies me. Makes me physically sick and unwell.
