Sending you lots of strength Chloe - let us know how school goes today
I know there's a few teachers there you've found helpful to chat to. Do you feel able to talk to them about how you've found the holidays?
You're doing so well to keep reaching out, remember you're not alone and there are services you can contact at any time - Samaritans, Papyrus, Crisis Messenger.
We're here for you
No, it’s good to be honest. Sometimes people just take a little bit to react properly. It’s not your fault 🩷
Hey @Chloe234 just wanted to follow up to see how you're doing. It sounds like returning to school was really difficult. You're definitely not a burden - we all need support and you are so deserving of that when you've had such a difficult holiday. I'm sure the lady you feel comfy speaking with wouldn't feel this way about you. They should be really proud of you for reaching out
I also noticed you mention you've been struggling with an ED and things have gotten worse. It sounds like you're going through so much right now Chloe. You are doing so well to keep going. Maybe you can find some space this weekend to spend time with family or friends, or doing things you enjoy to take some control back. You can do this .
Have you been able to reach out for any support with your ED? I'm aware that Beat run online support groups and you can read more about them here.
Beat also have a help finder, to help you look for support in your area.
Keep going Chloe
We're all here for you, Iain. Things seem really difficult and overwhelming right now but you've got this. One step at a time. Can you let us know if you're feeling safe today?
How are your support options looking like at the minute? I know things have been up and down with the level of support you've been offered.
Things might be super heavy but remember there are people who really care about you. You matter to us
Remember these services are available for you to reach out to, always
Though I guess that sets the bar very low for this year.
Sounds like I'm exaggerating and making this all up
Might at least take a break because I don’t deserve to be here. I’m just a problem
I also feel like nobody likes me irl, but you wouldn't say all these negative things to me too, would you? (Unless you would, then idk... )
Believe a little in yourself.
@River thats so awful, I promise you’re none of those things. Nobody deserves to be abused and you’re a lovely person so you definitely don’t!! You need to stop talking to whoever said that because they sound like a terrible person.
(PS: if you saw me react with ‘LOL’ that was an accident, stupid fat fingers!)
Sending hugs ❤️
