    Really struggling with my mental health not just at the moment but for a while. :( I hage been significantly traumatised by severe bullying at school that has recently stopped. My mental health has also been significantly affected. I don't know who to talk to because I really struggle with trusting anyone at all and I feel really anxious about speaking up. I can't cope anymore. Virtual hug please.

    Got myself so stressed that I've made myself physically unwell. It's horrible. Absolutely horrible. I wish I could catch a break and just have a day where pay bills and other aspect of adulthood, didn't exist

    😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
    Sorry everyone that this is so long but I have been significantly traumatised by severe bullying at school that has recently stopped. My mental health has also been significantly affected. I don't know who to talk to because I really struggle with trusting anyone at all and I feel really anxious about speaking up.

    I feel like I need help but I don't know who to talk to. I don't want to worry anyone on here. My webchat counsellor can't really do much. I don't want to be a burden to my family, friends or teachers. The bullies just got bored and couldn't think of any more ways to hurt me.

    I keep everything bottled up although my classmates can tell that my mental health has been getting worse. They keep on trying to encourage me to do the small things such as join in with activities, do a workout or watch a video. I don't know what to do anymore. Nothing feels worth it anymore.

    It makes me feel ashamed that my classmates have noticed my mental health issues because I want to keep it bottled up and I don't need everyone to know about my mental health. It is also scary because at one point a classmate actually went to get a teacher to talk to me because I zoned out and she was concerned about me.

    One day I will probably be sent to my GP, A&E or put into hospital. I know that it is very unlikely but the thought of it triggers my anxiety a lot. :( If I stay silent then it won't have to happen.

    I'm so exhausted. Absolutely exhausted. All I want to do is sleep, all the time. My body constantly aches. I get shakey and exhausted after a small walk. Can't last a few hours without wanting to lie down.

    Do you see your counsellor online? Writing it down can help instead of face to face. Also working out why your finding it hard can help. They're not there to judge. Only want to help and would be happy you opened up

    Hey @Books_and_Chocolate welcome to the mix by the way :)

    You may find it helpful to make a thread about this if you want more answers 

    If you're currently seeing them online you could maybe send them a message or email them if you do not want to physically say it :) if you see them in person maybe write it down.
    They're there to listen and won't judge x

    (Also, hugs everyone <3

    Sorry everyone for this but I just needed to share it. :(

    It feels like I am an attention seeker. 😢😭 But honestly I am really struggling. Is it even worth trying to hide my mental health struggles anymore? I can't speak up to anyone though. My anxiety stops me.

    I always try to hide my mental health struggles with a smile. But it is always fake. I can't cope anymore and sometimes I don't want to live. Especially with the trauma that I had to go through at school with the severe physical and verbal bullying that I was going through.

    If I tell anyone the truth about my struggles with my mental health issues then it might get me put into hospital. The thought of that terrifies me. 😭😢Yes it is very unlikely to happen unless I am at serious risk with my safety but it is a significant worry for me. 

    I haven't even felt able to fully open up to my webchat ounsellor. I can't trust anyone anymore. I pretend to be okay around other people when in reality it feels like I am dying on the inside and I want to just break down into tears. There is no escape for me.

    Part of me wants to get better but the other part of me says that I deserve to feel so awful mentally. I keep on listening to the side of me that says that I deserve to feel so awful mentally.  😢😭

     Sorry. 😢😭😢😭😢😭😢😭😢😭😢😭😢😭😢😭😢😭😢😭😢😭😢😭😢😭😢😭😢😭😢😭😢😭😢😭😢😭😢😭😢😭😢😭😢😭😢😭😢😭😢😭😢😭😢😭😢😭😢😭😢😭😢😭😢😭😢😭😢😭😢😭😢😭😢😭😢😭😢😭😢😭 Is it even worth trying to get better?
