This is a space to chat or vent about things which you think may be more triggering for the Community but still want to get off your chest.

Every Monday morning we will close the thread and start a new one so we have a fresh one each week. If you'd like to check out this week's venting thread that isn't triggering, click here.

    ppl dont always need advice. sometimes all they rly need is a hand to hold. an ear to listen. and a heart to understand them. 🧸

    Hey folks thank you for sharing how you've been feeling @slovie @Lottie5433 @eylah

    I wonder how you can each look after yourselves this week? Any little things that make you feel slightly better, whether it's a comfort show, a favourite snack or spending time with loved ones?

    Try an be gentle with yourselves this week and take everyday as it comes - the community is here with you

    I cant do much to look after myself. Im working everyday, so I supress how I feel until I cant no longer.
    The only thing I have that im looking forward to is I see my boyfriend most evenings and today we might be going gym to have a weight lifting competition but idk yet.
    I should probs tell him how im feeling but I dont want him to worry any more than what he does.

    I also had a snap memory come up today as its been a year since Megan at uni told my parents about an incident that happened who then told my gp, this hasnt helped anything either. Jusy got to live with all this i guess

    for now since my technology is VERY restricted, i'm just relying on youtube to keep me sane lol. i've been getting more and more anxious recently. the reason why i'm anxious is on my first discussion post :/

    Went to the dr for a med review and gosh he was a fucking dickhead
    Sometimes when the people most like you don't love you, it is a hurt that can cause the greatest pain, and this pain can lead you to hate everything.
  • eylaheylah Posts: 8,563 Legendary Poster
    i want to be at peace. :/ * im safe * no plans.

    Sounds like many us are really, really struggling this week. Thank you so much for your courage sharing here. We are sending lots of care, and you're each doing so well to reach out, talk about your feelings, and put things into words - even when it feels indescribable.

    Thinking about the here and now, day-to-day, what are we each doing to take care of ourselves right now? How can we take care of ourselves this evening? Even if just one kind act.

    Lets keep supporting one another whenever we have capacity to also, and I'll pop some resources below also if you're struggling to cope:

    @eylah , just checking in - how are you today? It sounds like yesterday might have been really exhausting and you felt totally done with it all. We're here for you. Would it feel helpful to share a little bit about the kinds of thoughts you've been coping with latetly?

    I hear you - it sounds like the 16th was a particularly overwhelming day, and you're feeling as though something has been ruined maybe, or that you're too much and should disappear. That's a really painful thought to have. As though you want to not exist.

    Can I ask, are you feeling safe at the moment, and as well, would you be able to tell us how you're practically keeping safe?

    I'm hearing things are serious, and we care about your safety.

    It was an overwhelming day, and i ruined it which is why I wanted to (still want to) disappear. I dont want to exist.
