Hey Eylah, how's you?
Thats so cool, you ended up getting a better phone than the a16, how is it?
its so cool, its small but its a good size for me since it can fit easily in most pockets
That's great, ok that its small as long as you like it, is it brand new?
yeah, it costed my dad £720 including the charger. i thanked him a lot for buying it for me. also i have a screen protector since my mum had some extra at home. my mum is also getting the phone case for me soon but i don't know when she's getting it.
That's a lot but you deserve it, Im not a fan of reconditioned phones just like I dont know where there have been, they can come in worse condition that they claim to be etc so new is the best option in my opinion. Sounds really great, flagship phone too so will be really nice. Screen protecter is an absolute must. What colour is it? I hope you get a nice phone case.
Hey Eylah, how are you?
its black
im okay how are you?
Im struggling a bit Eylah but not too bad, i hope you sleep well 💜
sending you hugs 🫂
@Redemption hey bro, i'm not sure if you're still awake but i just saw this and wanted to let you know that i'm here to chat to bro.
are you safe??
Thank you @DonnerKebab , i ended up sleeping but I can talk now if you want still
@eylah I am safe, I just struggle to sleep everyday, Im bored during the whole day, nothing to do, lonely, then comments when Im feeling shit as it is and uncertainty when things will change, its hard. Thank you for checking, I hope you're ok and slept well
@DonnerKebab sure bro, definitely, I hope you're ok?
@Redemption Yeah, just a bit angry at the minute. I've found out a few things that suggest i've been lied to and misled for a while now, so i'm quite frustrated.
How are things for you bro? I noticed you said you were struggling yesterday.
I just was struggling to sleep yesterday and I think I will soon too but I appreciate you checking up, just my situation feeling rubbish bored all or most of my days its hard to deal with but thank you for checking up on me, you too @eylah , I was and am safe and thank you for the virtual hugs anyone who left one too ❤️. I just want things to get better, thats what I meant by "I can't do this anymore " like I want to stop feeling bored but want things to change rather than putting myself in an unsafe situation, I believe things will change and thats why Im keeping going, I just need to push through, its been a very long road but Im getting there, Id rather I take my time than rush into the wrong thing. Got a couple of work appointments tomorrow going to chat to them, it hard pushing through but go to and I'll get to where I wanna be.
Can I check in with how you're feeling today? I remember you mentioning you had an appointment with your work coach today, is that right? I wonder what you feel you might need today also to care for your mental health, whether that's self-care, or perhaps something you're needing to ask a loved one or a helpline professional for?
