    I have felt lonely a lot and I have been struggling to cope with lockdown and all of the changes. There have been a lot of times where I have felt close to crying but I don't want to be thought of as a wimp or have too much attention and I don't want to be a burden. Sometimes it feels like nobody understands me or what I am going through so that is something that has been stopping me from speaking up and asking for help when I need it. :( I have been told a lot of times in the past that I am irrelevant and that what I think or say is irrelevant which is why I think of myself as a burden. My confidence also gets really low. Why does past bullying have to keep on getting to me!? :( Sorry.

    Hey @Dancer you are a beautiful soul and we all love you so much.

     I know crying can feel embarrassing sometimes but I promise you it’s nothing to be ashamed of, crying certainly doesn’t make you weak. It’s the bodies coping mechanism it’s a way of letting everything out, it’s a way of acknowledging your feelings. Dancer you are one of the strongest people I know and we all care about  you so much.

    You’re never a burden Dancer. If you broke your arm you wouldn’t think twice about reaching out for help. Our mental health deserves the same attention and care. I’m sorry you haven’t received the kindness  and support you deserve in the past but I promise you dancer you deserve to be supported and feel happy. 

    Lockdown is super overwhelming and stressful, I’ve struggled a lot too so I reached out to a teacher and gave since been receiving some amazing support. Is there anyone you can talk to a teacher maybe?

    We all care about you. I’m always happy to listen, feel free to PM me any time I’m always happy to listen. 

    Bullying is a horrible thing that often stays with us. Unfortunately the bad things often stick with us more than the good, but it’s certainly not your fault. It can take time to heal and repair trust, but reaching out like you have is an amazing thing to do. Keep reaching out we’re always here.

    You're not alone. Do you feel able to try a grounding technique right now? @Emoji246

    Pop both feet on the floor and list

    5: Five things you see around you 

    4: Four things you can touch around you. (It could be your hair, a pillow, or the ground under your feet)

    3: Three things you hear

    2: Two things you can smell 

    1: One thing you can taste


    Deep breaths, you got this.

    Hey @Emoji246 you’re right life hurts an awful lot sometimes and it’s a long tiring battle especially when you have very little support. But there are some amazing people out there and there will be some amazing moments out there in the future. We have to look for the bright stars in the dark sky. I’m sorry I can’t help more. But we’re always happy to listen. Sending big hugs  <3

    Hey @Liam I’m really sorry to hear that. Big hugs your way. Sometimes writing everything out and tearing it up helps a little but I’m not sure if that will work. I don’t really have any advice just know we’re always here if you need anything. I’m always happy to listen or talk. I’m not great at advice but if you ever need a bunch of cheese and animal memes you know where I am. You’re an awesome human being and we all care about you.  <3

    OMG 
    freaking  out. I never speak about my mental illness to my family. They’re obviously aware of it tho 

    but I impulsively just sent my sisters this tiktok  (group chat)
    https://vm.tiktok.com/ZScQQn2W/

    They always call me lazy so I guess just fed up and want them to understand 

    but I shouldn’t of sent it 😭😭😭😭😭


    Edit. Not to worry. I fixed it by saying “doesn’t this go through everyone’s head” to make it seem less serious
