    I'm really sorry you're feeling this way right now, and I want to honor how hard and overwhelming everything must be for you. It sounds like you’re carrying a lot of pain, and feeling stuck in this place of depression can make everything seem so much harder. I’m really glad you’re going to be speaking with someone from the NHS on Tuesday- that’s a good step, even if it doesn’t feel like it right now. It’s okay to feel like you need to vent, and I want you to know that your feelings matter and you don’t have to carry them alone.

    Even though it feels impossible to feel better right now, just taking things one day at a time and being patient with yourself, like you said, is really important. I hear that you're in a very tough place right now, feeling isolated and overwhelmed, and I want you to know that these feelings, while real and valid, don’t define your whole life. You’re not “nothing” in this world, even though it may feel like that in the darkest moments. Your life is valuable, and even if it’s hard to see, there are people who care about you and want you to be here, whether you can see it or not.

    The things you're experiencing are not your fault, and you're not alone in how you're feeling. It might not feel like it right now, but there is always hope for things to get better. You’re allowed to feel these emotions, but I really hope you can find the strength to keep holding on and reaching out for support, even when it feels like it’s just too much. <3

    You are worthy of compassion, and I really hope you keep showing up for yourself, even if it’s just little bits at a time. Is there anything that has helped you in the past that has worked for you when you are experiencing these low moments? Have you considered journalling to express your emotions visually onto paper?

    @bignosegirly0 I've also added a spoiler or removed any triggering language in your post so it does not trigger anyone in the community

    You have been really brave in acknowledging and sharing you are still feeling rock bottom @bignosegirly0. Would you like to talk more about this?

    It sounds really positive that you have been to one of your favourite places this weekend! How has this gone for you? I often find having something nice to look forward to really uplifting :)

    @bignosegirly0 you're doing so well to reach out. The future can be anxiety provoking and it sounds like you're doing your best to plan and prepare, but I know it can still feel really uncertain and hard to navigate. It's good to hear that you are surrounded by loved ones currently and that it is making you feel better. I hope you manage to enjoy your time while you are there <3

    Please don't apologise @bignosegirly0. This space is yours and we all really care about you. We are also here for you if you would like to talk about general chit-chat or any recent hobbies etc as well though!

    Would you like to share more about your favourite place? It sounds positive that you have this space you feel able to go to with the people you love, especially when you are mildly down and worrying about your future. Is there anything, in particular, about your future which is causing you to worry the most at the moment? <3

    I can really hear your passion about art and expression @bignosegirly0! Especially the opportunity to dress differently and be differently - just more diversity in general. Do you have many opportunities to visit the city, even whilst living outside of the city?

    We believe in you and your future! But we recognise how difficult it can often be to have faith in ourselves, especially all of the time. What would 'happy' and 'bright' look like for you? I am just wondering how you can ensure these elements remain.

    It is super positive to hear you are feeling better and more hopeful though :)
