    @Eleanor @Aidan Thankyou 🥺❤️

    So I've got this gift which means that I can be very attuned to people. Sometimes I can even absorb people's emotions and end up feeling the way that they do too, especially if I care about them. I noticed this a few years ago when a really good friend of mine stopped going to uni after she became  depressed and unhappy with the course. Much to my surprise I too started feeling the same way completely unaware of it at the time. It was only when I started talking to a therapist about it that it all started to make sense. 

    Sometimes when I care a lot about people I can feel their pain too and I was wondering if this was something that you felt too @Emoji246? I couldn't help but notice patterns in your distress to what was going on with others and I was wondering if it's something that you've ever noticed ? And I'm wondering if being such a wonderful help to the community has also meant that you've absorbed people's "concerns" too, so much that they've become your own?

    It's not a bad thing per say, in fact it's an indicator of a highly empathetic person 😉 we just gotta make sure the very empathetic people stay in tip top condition because they matter too. We can't look after other people if we can't look after ourselves ❤️ A little bit of pruning makes the flowers flourish 🌻

    I just cannot seem to shift whatever is wrong with me . I’m soo stuffy and get these waves of feeling all light headed , my stomach hurts and I just feel nauseous all the time .
    Sometimes all you need is one person to believe in you , for you to begin to believe in yourself.

    Has anyone taken flucloxacillin. I’m scared to take it

    I haven't taken it myself but I do believe my brother has :) 

    It's best taken on an empty stomach cause it can cause nausea. If you want to share, what are you scared about? ❤️

    Yeah that is never fun! 

    I've felt nauseous before on antibiotics but I don't think I've ever felt really sick etc. You generally take it before food I think like half an hour, it should tell you. That ensures you don't feel nauseated. Eating something after be helpful. You can always try things too like ginger nuts, sparkling water, or peppermint. They can settle it. But I believe you should be okay! ❤️

    @Emoji246 big hugs. Remember it’s ok to look after yourself and take a break. I often find a good tv show or take the dog for a walk. You’re kind to so many people but don’t forget to be kind to yourself. And remember if you ever need to talk we’re always here to listen. Big hugs  <3

    Ah yeahh. It’s like I’d rather be sick then feel sick. To me that’s the worst feeling in the world 
    I always thought you’re meant to eat if the pill will make you feel sick so it soaks up in the food but must be wrong!

    thanks

    It depends on how the self harm is doing. If a plaster would stay on it. Then yes it does stay. Stay safe

    The urge to self harm is so strong right now. Sat crying. Extremely on edge, triggered and just feeling like shit.

    I'm so frustrated and angry and upset. I'm crying so much I can't breathe and catch my breath. I'm struggling so much and I'm at breaking point and I don't know what to do. I'm just s horrible nasty person that shouldn't be here. I'm 2 weeks harm free and about ready to snap and break that. I constantly feel on edge. Easily triggered. I put up a front that made it seem like I'm doing so well, tonight I've just fallen apart. So much is going on, so much from my past is impacting me Greatly. Im really struggling and just want to feel like I matter and just want support.. right now I don't feel like I matter and haven't for a while. I feel like I don't deserve support either
