@eylah hey again my fellow twat, I'm all good thanks. My cowboy hat and this special shirt designed for hot weather saw me through the worst of the heat today although it was still a bugger. A few issues today with my brother, but besides that, all good. And don't worry about response times. Mine vary from a minute to a day 🤣. Hope your enjoying watching twitch.
Maybe some Ibuprofen could help ease the pain from it and make sleeping a bit easier tonight? Sleeping with sunburn kills. Have you got a fan, or possibly a bug net your could put over your window to prevent bugs getting in so your window can be fully opened? trust me, indoors can get just as hot as outdoors without proper ventilation.
its not at hot in my bedroom its normal temperature. and my windows dont open anyway so i can’t open them im not strong enough lol. i need to buy a van but i dont have one no. im debating whether to try sleeping or not bc im feeling rly exhausted 😩 but my legs are hurting lol. much love fellow twat
@shannon_164 what's happened if you don't mind me asking?
Oh, it was fine bro. Never apologise for talking and venting your thoughts. Doesn't matter if it was a single sentence or a whole page. And I'm doing alright thanks bro.
i can’t go into detail about it but i am now prevented from doing something which i’ve been doing for so many months now, the only thing motivating me to get better tbh
@River There's nothing pathetic about feeling that way about yourself
@eylah i'm guessing it's the heat?
i feel very poorly haha. got a headache and other symptoms!
@shannon_164 whatever they've said or done, please know that you are not an issue at all. They are wrong. You're an amazing person, with a kind and gentle soul and a really good friend, and i'm gonna miss you so much on here. I'm so sorry they've let you down again and done whatever they've done, and i understand you wanting to avoid being hurt again.
Please know that I really do care about you. You don't deserve any of this, and i'm sorry that your attempts to vent your frustrations have been ignored and you got hurt for it. You deserve a place to vent, to be supported and to be loved, cause you're an amazing person. Please promise one thing if you do leave. That you'll be kind to yourself, and give yourself a hug from me. And maybe check in to say hello from time to time if your up for it. You're a special person shannon, and the worlds been cruel to you, but you never deserved it and you was never the problem. You are an angel of a person, and i want to say thank you for helping me so much, please give yourself that same kindness.
@eylah Painful stuff. Sunburn, a headache, and other symptoms. It's one of the worst combo's, i hope your got some kind of pain relief for it. I've just got hayfever right now.
Sending big hugs to all of you
I'm doing ok. It's tropical out there isn't it, only 21 here right now but still I imagine much worse for those of you down south (good luck)
@independent_ it's 25 right now for me, but it's gonna rise to 29 later for a few hours, big hug to you as well
@eylah i won't pry if you don't want me to, but i'm here to vent to about things too if you want my fellow twat.
I'm sorry your going through this, you're doing so well eylah. I want you to know that we all see how much your trying, how much progress your making, and we are proud of you for it. Have you tried ibuprofen to ease things?
my stomach is very unhappy with me atm so idk if taking ibuprofen will help with this.
@eylah i think paracetamol is less rough on the stomach, but make sure you only take a safe amount if you do have any. Otherwise, a wet cold compress on your sunburnt skin and time is the best option. Check with a gp for proper medical advice on dealing with it though if you need to. Sending hugs, a link to the NHS website about sunburn: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/sunburn/ and Doctor Duckworth follow twat
@shannon_164 just a reminder that your always welcome back whenever you want, even if only just for a chit chat about random stuff and for us to let you know how loved you are here, and you don't have to go through everything alone. I hope you can find another support community for you out there where you can fully vent everything. I'll probably get in trouble for this, but there's the young adults forum on reddit but that's global, but is for young adults struggling and is truly anonymous. I've linked it below. There's a variety of others as well, please don't be alone through everything.

i don’t like paracetamol for previous issues. but i just ate some tuna pasta so hopefully 🤞🏼 that settles my upset tummy.
