    Do you ever just give up with the day? Pull the blinds down and crawl into bed and just lay there...?

    Anxiety is making me feel sick and leaving me with no appetite 
    “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

    I have a lot to look forward to - but I feel I have nobody to share that with...a hug or two would be appreciated right now.

    I just applied for a supervisor position at my weekend job. I know I won’t get it because much better people have applied but I really want it.

    really, really bad place and mindset all of a sudden trying to just get through it

    I need to finish my assignment today which I will get done. 

    But I don't feel like doing it and I sat the whole day yesterday staring at the screen and got NOWHERE. 

    I think I'm getting too distracted by everything that's going on for me right now and that needs to stop. 

    I can't think about my past when I need to concentrate on my future and I can't think about my past without proper support - but it just keeps popping into my head. 

    It's frustrating and I don't really know what to do. I've been talking to people on here but I don't know if it's opening up wounds that I won't be able to close by myself. 

    My uni counselling told me they can't help me - she also mentioned that they can only offer 5 appointments and that I'd just be worse off because it would only just start to dive into my problems and then they'd have to leave me. 

    Why can't they just offer me more long term support?? It's really unfair. 

    I feel really unsupported by the "medical professionals" and I'm very thankful to have you guys.

    TW self harm

    I can’t stop the urge to SH. And I’m so ashamed of what I’ve already done. I sometimes think I don’t realise how bad things are getting until they’re really bad.

    Managers bitch on the shop floor about people and I always hear them. I’m tempted to speak to senior manager today and not complain just vent lol
    I don’t know why I thought I had the confidence to do this 😂
