I can hear that things are feeling intense at the moment. You've mentioned that you'd like to share this low mood that you're experiencing with someone, but that you're afraid of doing so.
You've done really well to open up and share how you're feeling with us.
Is there anything in particular that you're feeling scared of happening if you tell other people about how you're feeling? You deserve support, Chloe, and from where I'm standing it doesn't seem like you're a burden to me. I see an amazing person who is trying their best through some difficult times, and that's something you should be really proud of. We're here for you, Chloe.
Take care,
Harry
It is ok not to be ok though and that does not make you any less strong. We hear that being strong is really important to you at the moment and it sounds like you are being really strong.
You have mentioned being there for yourself. Would you like to tell us a little more about what being there for yourself would look like at the moment?
Similarly, I can hear that your PTSD is so bad at the moment along with your ED creeping in. What, if anything, usually helps this to feel more manageable for you?
We are all here for you and listening to you if you would like to share more with us. Please feel free to keep talking to us and letting us how you are doing.

Sending you hugs. Take care for now and we will look forward to hopefully hearing from you again soon
I know there is so much burdening you right now, and it's making you question literally everything and all it makes you want is to just have one 'normal' day, free from this inescapable pain. It seems like, in particular, the trauma you've experienced is causing a big portion of your pain right now, especially as you've started to question whether or not it's your fault (which I definitely promise you it was not your fault
Perhaps, just talking on here some more about the kinds of emotions it's bringing up for you could help? (no pressure of course!). With all that is weighing you down right now, all I can wonder is who is there to support you through it all? (like you do for so many people on here).
Huge hugs xx
