    Why can't I have just ONE good year? I'm sick of this. 2022 was awful and we aren't even past a month into this year but bad things have already happened.
    Tw loss and cancer
    my dad has lost his mate. My friend is in and out of hospital and theres a possibility of brain cancer. And ive been told tonight that my aunt has bladder cancer...

    Hi @Chloe234 it sounds like you are going through a very tough time at the moment. I'm very sorry to hear that friend has been in and out of hospital especially with your aunt too. I can imagine how stressful that situation must be for you. I'm always here if you need someone to talk to.

    Sending hugs,

    Hi @Chloe234

    Feeling as if you are continuously being faced by new hurdles can be exhausting and draining. It can feel so incredibly unfair to encounter yet another difficult issue when you've been through such a tough time already. It's understandable that you're finding this to be hard, such circumstances can be very frustrating and deflating.

    It can be hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel when you feel surrounded only by darkness, but it is there. How have you been coping with this stress so far? We can explore some coping mechanisms and support options together if you'd like. We are by your side.

    Take care.

    It's not nice at all when it feels like death is everywhere, or looming over you. A few years ago I had to attend a lot of funerals, and I remember the sense of mortality feeling so inescapable. For the first time maybe ever, I thought about my own death a lot, and it got super dark for a while.

    Super rubbish and I hear you @Chloe234. It's no fun at all. :(

    I don't know if this helps, but I recently heard someone say 'every year is the year'. Dividing our lives up into years sometimes makes us lose sight of the fact that we're living one continuous life, and while years might be bad, our lives might be good. I'm not sure if that feels relatable or helpful but I thought I'd share it.

    This too shall pass. :)

    Hi @Chloe234, thank you so much for being brave to share all of this with us. It's absolutely awful that this has been happening to you.

    I relate to your friendship issues - that feeling of being replaced is not nice at all, it's very upsetting. I'm so sorry that you've been experiencing this, it's such a lonely and terrible feeling. Once you have the mental capacity, maybe it would help to talk to your friend about how this is making you feel, so that she can listen to you. I understand that talking face-to-face is so difficult, so you can do this through text as well if it makes you more comfortable. There's completely no rush to do this - you could try it when you feel like it should be said. You could decide to see what happens for the next few days before trying this out. Maybe this will get better.

    I'm very sorry that your English teacher said all those terrible words - those words can really harm someone's mental health. I'd like to say to opposite of what she said. You do have hope for your GCSEs. Everything will be okay for you. It's completely alright to put your mental wellbeing first over your studies, since you can't do your best when you're not feeling your best.

    Please feel free to continue reaching out ^^ and please take all the time that you need for these feelings to subside. It's so difficult at the moment, but everything is temporary. It will all pass. :)

    Sending hugs <3
