    Someone's been hit by a train in Ilford.. minutes after we got off that train.. unfortunately my brother's flat faces the incident and the air ambulance is circling very low by the window.. physically shaking.

    “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

    My enamel is so damaged I need fluoride treatment to prevent decay and potentially another in 6 months. It's awful. Tastes awful

    Just bit overwhelmed atm. Things aren’t great but I’m trying to battle through and keep my routines which is so hard.

    I just self harmed :(. Very disappointed with myself. Very painful, I don’t know how I am going to be able to work tomorrow. I don’t need medical help. I am fine. I have done it many times before just haven’t done it for awhile. But it is very painful. And will be painful tomorrow and have work:(

    Do I just not exist?

    I can't sleep properly:
    An 8 hour sleep feels like a quick nap.
    My dreams are gradually more vivid and distressing. As if I was actually there.

    Can't remember the last time I woke up without feeling severely anxious.

    My grandparents tested positive for covid.
    My grandad has COPD and other health problems.
    I'm absolutely petrified for them..

    Just posted on Reddit for the first time. Posted a picture of my self harm but in a community that is completely irrelevant and made it look like an accident that is to do with the community. And 4 replies already. 2 say it looks like it’s starting to heal. Other 2 day to see a doctor.

    Oh shit the rest said to go to hospital or doctor immediately

    I’ll ring gp tomorrow

    If you’ve looked at the news you’ll probably have heard there’s been a massive explosion in Scotland. It’s in my town and people I know live very close to where it happened. Hate when these things happen so close to home

    Hey @independent_
    Is everyone okay? How are you doing? <3

    Got told to go to emergency centre for self harm. I did it a few days ago. They would be annoyed if I go
