Things aren’t getting better ☹️

I’m getting so fed up of this now, I’m so jealous of people who can see life in a positive way. I feel so so guilty for struggling and people will tell me it’s fine but it’s really not. I have no support, and I don’t get how bad you need to be for people to want to help you nowadays ☹️ Just really struggling and so overwhelmed

    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 @Butterfly23, 

    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 :heart:

    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 :smile:

    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 :smile:

    In the meantime, I found some supportive pages for coping with self harm. I really hope they can help in some way :smile: 
    This is also a great list of some of the support available: https://www.mind.org.uk/information-support/types-of-mental-health-problems/self-harm/useful-contacts/#.XZoBCS-ZNdg

    You did the right thing by sharing how you feel with us here - we are for you. Take good care :heart:

    “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
