  I'm sorry you are feeling this way, it seems you are frustrated about everyone else feeling positive about life when you are feeling overwhelmed. It's brave of you to speak out about how much you're struggling, especially when you feel like you're the only one. Can you tell me more about anything you are struggling with in particular? We are here to help and support you.

  Thank you @Gemma I’m struggling with self harm massively and I just feel so low and fed up ☹️ I’m trying so hard to be okay but I just don’t feel like I am at the moment.

  It is normal to not be feeling okay all the time, and really hard to pretend like you are. Have you tried other methods that help with feeling overwhelmed and struggling? Often listening to music or journalling can help with allowing yourself to process how you're feeling.

  Hi @Past User, 
  
  How are you feeling today? 
  
  I just wanted to let you know that it really is okay not to be okay. You can take all the time you need to feel better - just know that no matter how bad things may seem, things really really can and do get better 
  
  You mentioned you have no support and I just wanted to let you know that we will always be here for you. It can be frustrating when you can't get the help you need, but we are all here to help you find it - because you are important and you deserve to be supported
  
  I'm wondering if you have any coping strategies that you use at the moment? We could all work together to help find some that work well for you
  
  

  In the meantime, I found some supportive pages for coping with self harm. I really hope they can help in some way
