    “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

    The video has now made its way to Instagram, twitter and other social medias.
    It's now also being hidden behind innocent videos of animals, to which it quickly switches...

    Stay the fuck of social media tonight guys

    Seen it earlier and accidentally stumbled across it again tonight @GreenTea it's awful and unfair for people to hide it behind innocent looking videos.  :(

    First day back at college and the realisation  that I have no one is real :( 
    Sometimes all you need is one person to believe in you , for you to begin to believe in yourself.

    Thank you @Salix_alba_2019 I’m just so low at the moment have no support and struggling to get through day to day :( 
    Awww man, I'm so sorry to hear that 😢❤️

    I was wondering whether you'd been to your gp to fill them in on how you've been feeling? And is there anything that you can pin point that's been making you feel so low?

    I need help. I’m playing a sick game where I see if I can make me self harm worse than the one I just did before. Then once satisfied I stop. Knowing i deserved it. Becoming something I’m doing every night

    No follow up, nothing, no call from the doctors, no one cares. Maybe I should be dead, maybe that's what they're trying to say.

    I'm not ok. I'm really struggling. To the point I'm becoming so detached from reality and becoming so forgetful of basic things. It's frustrating that I'm forgetting things and just feel not "with it" very often

    @independent_ super sorry for the late reply, I blame my very short attention span

    Awww man, I hate it when that happens. My old terapist would always suggest writing down mythoughts down the using my DBT skills to see if they could help reduce the distress. I don't think I've ever asked, have you had DBT before?

    @Salix_alba_2019 it's ok I have a short attention span as well haha. 

    I haven't had DBT, not really sure what it is. I had CBT years ago and am currently trying to get referred for some kind of therapy of some description but struggling to be heard/listened to by professionals. 

    I actually got out of the house today though. Haven't managed that for a while, or at least not further than the garden. So guess that's a positive.

    Really not feeling too good today. Feel like I just want to give up. Don’t want to move. Don’t want to live. Feeling like I just absolutely hate myself and can’t stand myself or this life

    That sounds like a real pain to be dealing with, is there anyone that can help fight your corner too? Trying to get professionals to listen and actually do what you want is frustrating and tiresome and I'm sorry to hear that you're having to go through that. Super well done on getting some fresh air though, I'm really really proud of you. Every step counts ❤️

    Thank you @Salix_alba_2019 <3 not really got anyone to help me, because it’s all by telephone at the moment it’s not even as if I can take someone with to appointments sadly.

    I can’t be the only one who watches videos on YouTube that are “recoverying from anorexia” and it’s not even because I’m in the recovery mind set. I do it to trigger myself

    Just wanted to stop by in this thread, k haven't used it before but it's one I've seen a lot in. 

    Today I shared something I'd not shared with anyone else before. Tbh it makes me feel really gross and makes my skin crawl. 

    I've been feeling pretty sick from nerves and the memories I've brought back but I know it's something I need to talk about. 

    I also went through a massive pregnancy scare but by the time testing came around I was super excited because I was SO sure I was pregnant that I'd got myself mentally prepared to be a mum. The first few tests came back negative but I still had strong signs. Well yesterday I had some spotting which I thought was from implantation bleeding but turned out by the end of the day my period had started. It really was such an emotional roller coaster and I was in absolute tears about the whole thing. My bf doesn't want to try for a baby yet (we're both 20) and I can see why, but this whole event really made me hopeful for having a baby :(

    Thinking of stopping these antidepressants cold turkey 
    I’m asleep more than I’m awake and I’m just guessing it that

     I’ll ask gp first though
