@toffuna101 that's a good idea. The sooner your saw to, the better, and psychiatrists are ten times better than therapists because they actually have medical degrees and a greater understanding, than what is required of therapists. They can also do medication if needed.
yeah i updated my thread so feel free to read that if you dont get triggered by suicide attempts.
I know it seems like things can't get better, especially if they never have before, and you've had no chance at experiencing happiness and it feels to far gone to ever be fixed, but let me make you a promise River, it's never too late. I mentioned before, after getting emotionally arrested at 11 in terms of socialising, i thought, yeah i'm fucked, missed every milestone and never had a single friend. To far gone to be fixed, with the mother of all shitshows every day of my life, a lot of which i've vented about before, but it isn't too late, and i'm not to far gone. I managed to find friends this last month and half and realised i'm not entirely hopeless in that arena. It's just hard to see at the worst of it. 18-19 was the worst of it all for me, and there was a case of SH for me, experimental in nature (i thought of it as a science experiment) so bad was my emotional numbness and dissociation. It's hell. And nothing anybody could possibly say could ever change how i felt in that moment, not that i had anyone, and i'm fully aware of the chance things getting better in future being no consolation now. How i survived was because i couldn't die, due to my carer role, and i had to try and find the fun in the small things and moments in life. Like for me, 4 hours a year at wingfest was it. An evening of fun and that's it. For you river that could be hoop, that could be all sorts. But it makes clinging on that little bit easier in a life of agony. I'm sorry i can't give any better advice, but i'm here for you friend to talk to.
@River and i'm so sorry that you do, because it's the worst thing ever to feel. Alive but not living is how i would describe it. Please be kind to yourself right now, and I'm gonna have to ask that promise your safe becomes a pinky promise. I know this will sound silly, but do you enjoy hoop?
Don’t think the worst!
@River ah ah, let's not forget your doggo barney. And you are amazingly skilled at it based on what you've shown here. I know this is no consolation, but hold on to that love for dear life. Let it be your lifeline, like an anchor. That's what wingfest was and is to me.
@River get a wet cloth or tea towel of something, run it under a cold tap, put it on your head, and it might help to cool you down a bit. That or/and a fan.
@River he's been a bad doggo?
@River tell him you'll chop him up, and put him in a giant spring roll if he does it again. That usually works..... at getting giant spring rolls 😂
@eylah I'm here for you my favourite twat and slightly better twat of the twat duo. You have every right to vent here and i'm here to listen and offer what help and support i can.
@eylah Like you. You 100% matter. If the Mix kick me in the morning, i want my last night here to be helping my favourite twat
@eylah Screw it, I'm gonna delete my posts criticising the mix, or at the very least tone them down a bit, and they won't. My anger at them, is outdone by the friends i made here, like you eylah. Can't leave you alone now can i my favourite twat?
if you get banned im leaving the mix! you’re literally the bestest friend ive made on here and you have given me so much support idk what id do without you tbh. it would kill me if they kicked you off. you was angry and did nothing wrong. so im just praying they understand and don’t ban you.
@eylah sadly, i turns out the hour to edit them has passed. They will most likely just edit the posts themselves, or delete them and give me a warning hopefully, like they did with shannon.
