I am but ok
@LorryTruck - We hear you. Would you like to share more with us about what hurts? We are here for you if you would like to share more with us
@Leila - We hear you. What would you like to scream?
Sending you all hugs!
TW: Mention of suicidal ideation and plans
I just wanted to acknowledge the weight of this. It does feel scary when we move from 'things are really painful and I want it to stop' to 'I could end my life if things get bad enough'. There's vulnerability in admitting this, so well done. These things are never easy to share.
Even if you are seeking attention or seeking care, there's totally nothing wrong with that. We seek attention because we need it and it's natural to want our pain to be noticed. (Not saying that's what you are doing necessarily - I'm conscious people self-harm for different reasons)
The staff team might drop you a PM today just to talk a bit more about the plan you mentioned and to see if you're up for working through some safety planning with us. 😊 Also a gentle reminder of these crisis support services if you need them.
In the meantime though, sending hugs and please lean on the community when you need to - we're always here. You're doing great, even when it doesn't feel like it.
Sorry to hear that you're ill. Hopefully the doctors get back to you quickly and you make a speedy recovery - Sending love

Hi @Lelia sorry to hear that, how are you feeling now?
I'm okay, thank you.
@Shaunie omg that's so sick!! are your shoes laced? cos you are tripping
okay but seriously, i hope youre not too hungover and youre okay from the fall!
okay maybe now i need a hug cos we was having a chippy tonight but now we're not
@Owl - oh no, how disappointing. Do you know when you might be able to have chippy?
@awesomeminecraft6789 - This sounds really difficult. Do you know when you might be able to see your girlfriend and the sorts of things which help when you miss her?
I get to see her in the summer but it's like I just want to see her because she makes me who I am today. Sounds cheesy but she is everything to me. And I just cry not being able to see her.
I feel horrific.
Sending you hugs.
