    I feel so sore after my injections. Especially with my left arm. Had the injection nearly 5 hours ago.

    Im writing my cover letter for the job and i can not be anymore stressed out in how to word it and meet the spec. 

    On "desireable" it says Psychiatric hospital admission. Like how do i even word that.... im guessing they are looking for that because you have seen wide range of people who use the service and you had to be in that enviroment. So im guessing i word that in a nicer way like. 😓😓😓😓😓😓😓😓

    I feel overwhelmed right now. There's just so much sadness and anxiety and bad thoughts going on in my head. I know I should write it down and try to work through it a little but all it's making me want to do right now is kill myself and get everything the fuck over with.

    I'm not in danger but I'm tempted to self-harm (safely) or try to sleep to "replace" going through with suicide. I feel so low and sorrowful.

    @shaunie you could word it something along the lines of saying “I have experience of psychiatric hospitals and therefore feel like I could have a greater understanding of how to support someone who may be nearing or just come out of an admission” possibly like that maybe ? 

    Also if you need any help feel free to to give me a shout and I’ll try and help also I’m sure there’s a website possibly the women’s trust I think it’s called that you send your cover letter and CV and application too and they can read through it and give specific advice 
    Sometimes all you need is one person to believe in you , for you to begin to believe in yourself.

     it's interesting how much if the spec is about needing to manage own mental health and stress

    i dont like to live; i dont know why, i just cant like something that for me it's so... ugh :expressionless: 

    I have great parents, great friends and no social or economic problems; I have not experienced any trauma and I haven't had any problems in my childhood or adolescence... my life is very good and I am very aware of it, but I still hate the fact that I have to be alive and breathing.

    even when i'm happy, i'm not vibrating with life... when i'm angry, sad or listless too;;,, no matter what i'm feeling, my distaste for life doesn't change.

    and it's very hard live when everything you most want to, it's die


    everything always goes ^^

    The dementia storyline on casaulty was absolutely heartbreaking. As someone who has lost someone close to me to it.. it killed me watching the storyline but I felt like I have to watch casaulty as my nan was the one who introduced me to it and it's something I do to honour her regularly. But this story line has ruined me. It was portrayed well. I am absolutely sobbing and feeling very hard hit by tonight episode.

    Had a cry in Sainsbury's and a little old man came and asked if I was ok. Bless him tbh. Don't even know why I cried. I just felt overwhelmed with emotion and cried.
