    Yeah

    Hey @Seb would you like to send us a DM to discuss what happened in chat yesterday? I'm mindful the DM space is more of a private space to discuss this. How does that sound?
  • SebSeb Posts: 114 The Mix Convert
    I guess yeah.

    Yeah

    i don’t think anyone meant any harm. we was all joking abt but i understand it upset you.
    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. 🧸

    Talked to shout. Not helpful. Worse now I think. Idk. Drinking and hoping I’ll just pass out until chat I guess.

    i hope you can keep safe @Seb . remember 999 is there if you’re ever in immediate danger.

    Don’t feel safe in my head. I’ll feel even more scared if I can 999 or got to a&e. Just drinking and hope I pass out. Probably won’t feel better even if that doesn’t happen.
  • SebSeb Posts: 114 The Mix Convert
    I don’t even wanna say if/ when I feel better because then I feel like I’ll just be ignored.

    Hey @Seb I hear you're not feeling safe in your head. Do you intend to act on these thoughts you're having?

    I also wonder if there is anything you can think of that might help keep you safe today? Is there a particular way you've managed these thoughts in the past?

    You're doing so well to reach out for support Seb.

    I’m not going to do anything. It’s just why bother when it feels like no one’s there for me when I’m always there for everyone else? I suck at making and keeping friends. I just wanna feel looked after and cared about for once. I’ve finished about 2 drinks. Great.

    We are here with you @Seb. However, it sounds like you are feeling lonely, am I hearing that right? Sometimes, people can feel lonely, even if they aren't alone. This is usually because, for example, there are people near them but they don't feel like they care, don't feel able to reach out to them or they are struggling to connect with them more deeply. Does this resonate?

    I can hear how much you value being there for everyone else. Though you just wish people were there for you like you are for them. Caring for others sounds super important to you - what elements of this care do you wish others provided you with? It sounds like that deep care, where people aren't there because you feel they have to be but because they choose to be and they stay longer-term.

    Chat sounds like an element of hope for you - to be able to talk to the community! And I also hear how important your dog is! I used to have 2 dogs and I love that my grandparents still have dogs (Terriers), cuddles with dogs feel extra precious sometimes!

    It feels like that yeah. Just want deep, meaningful connections with people.

    We hear that @Seb.

    Have you ever had this connection with anyone? What steps do you feel you might be able to take towards this?

    Me and my friend but they’re asleep. They feel depressed too but I can’t help but feel lonely when I tried to talk to him today and yesterday I guess.
  • SebSeb Posts: 114 The Mix Convert
    Just had kfc. Ocd thoughts are killing me right now and I still feel pretty bad. Shout and papyrus weren’t helpful at all.
  • SebSeb Posts: 114 The Mix Convert
    I feel absolutely awful. Can I vent today or not because it’s just general?
  • SebSeb Posts: 114 The Mix Convert
    I just wanna cry.
