    Hi @GreenTea. I am really sorry to hear this but you're not alone and many people find struggles in their life. It is really good that you are able to open up about this, do you have anyone, such as, friends, family or support at your work or place of education? It can often be helpful just to let people know how you are feeling. sending lots of hugs!!!!!!!

    @GreenTea You are not alone. You are so brave for reaching out for help. It’s good to blow off steam sometimes. Let us know what is bothering you, if you are comfortable with sharing that information. We all struggle with things and it can be perfectly normal to feel like this. Just remember you are not alone and people are always here to hear you out and offer what we can to help in any way we can.

    Thanks all.
    I just feel like everyone hates me right now. I'm in a really not so good place at all. I'm really struggling with self harm urges, struggling with memories of trauma. I'm being called things that are bringing up really bad memories of my school years.
    I'm struggling to eat, struggling to sleep. I've got headaches all the time..
    Just had enough. I hate my job. I hate where I live. I have nobody around me. Everyone hates me

    @GreenTea I'm so sorry to hear of your struggles right now. It can be so hard when your mental health is in a negative space to not overthink or cause yourself more pain.

    I just wanted you to know that we're all right here with you, and this is always a safe space for you to reach out, without judgment.

    I am so sorry your struggling with thoughts of self-harm, do you have any coping mechanisms that you can use to help distract you from these thoughts? I'm also really sorry to hear that people aren't treating you with the respect and care you deserve. I am wondering whether it's possible for you to be away from these individuals for now, until you're in a better headspace. I know that this isn't always possible, particularly if you live with these individuals. If this is the case, is there anyone you trust who you can reach out to and express your feelings?

    It's okay to cry, let out your emotions whenever you can. It can be overwhelming to keep these emotions in and suppress them.

    I really hope you're okay, sending so much love <3
