    The anxiety comes back, followed by the depression, followed by the thoughts of harm.

    I’m so frustrated. I’ve got to have even more fillings and have to go have my wisdom teeth out because there’s severe decay but could take 6 months to even hear from the hospital about it 🙃

    I wish seeming better to others meant I actually felt better. I feel like I’m tricking the world and myself.

    Honestly, the waiting list is mad. I chipped a filling just before the pandemic and by the time I was able to get an appointment, I needed a root canal and another filling and it cost just under £500.

    Yeahh it’s horrendous , they’ve got no appointments for my fillings to be done before I move to uni because all the parents have suddenly decided to book all there kids In so my dentist is back to back with check ups 🙈

    I think so, the filling I think was under the NHS but the root canal wasn't. I could be wrong, I might need to double check!

    I'm lost for words and heartbroken. There's been a mass shooting in my hometown this evening, multiple deaths and injuries. Born and raised there and nothing like this has ever happened. I'm absolutely heartbroken.

    TRIGGER WARNING-

    Self harmed at work. Couldn’t help myself was bad urges . Things got messy and the first aid room wasn’t opening so I had to ask for help. Embarrassing.

    I'm still so shocked over this mass shooting, and knowing my family felt unsafe last night, upsets me. I'm proud of Plymouth for standing by each other in this time, for helping each other and respectfully cancelling all events this weekend while the city mourn.
    I'm heartbroken for the families. decided to go down soon to see my family and tell them I love them because I don't say it enough and what If something happened to them or myself

    It's been a week now since It happened and I'm still in shock tbh. You never expect something like that to happen where you grew up etc. I'm going down in a couple weeks to see people and check in etc

    Thank you for caring

    Not feeling good today. Had a terrible night sleep with anxiety too which hasn’t helped.

    Yesterday at gymnastics I almost broke down into tears during the session that I was helping out with. One of the gymnasts kept on being really rude towards me and the gymnastics coach that I was working alongside. Thankfully there was one of the staff who helped me to get through that really difficult session.
