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.

    @Amy22 sorry i'm a bit late responding to you. Nothing you said is stupid. Your entitled to vent and rant like everybody else is. You sound like your making enormous lifestyle changes right now, and i wanted to say that this is something you should be incredibly proud of. You've looked at your lack of independence and reliance on your parents, and you're taking active steps to get out of that cycle and into a more independent and positive lifestyle. That isn't easy at first, but once it becomes routine, it becomes a lot easier to do daily. And it takes a lot of courage to start to try and escape that safe and comfortable dependency.

    You are right to be concerned about burnout. It's incredibly important to watch out for, so it's also vital that anything you do, you leave yourself enough time to be able to relax, chill out, and take a break at the end of every day. Giving yourself enough time for this is a must in the long term. You are doing a lot, and if you feel able to, and can guarantee you'll have a few hours a day of personal time still, then i think it's worth going for if your comfortable trying out those opportunities. And if it ever started to get to much, then you could look at maybe stepping back a bit.

    That feeling of laziness is going to get better, the more your lifestyle changes for the better. We are all proud of the effort your putting in and the changes your making to your life. You should be too.

    @eylah sometimes there isn't any reason, and it can be so painful and crushing. But there's a saying that i once heard, that might be comforting potentially. It's that god sometimes takes his brightest angels first. And if your mum was anything like you, god certainly picked one of the best. She's an angel now, looking down over you, and is proud of the person you are.

    btw, love the profile pic

    @eylah i think that when that bird sat with you a week back and looked over you, that was definitely your mum as an angel, letting you know that she's still there, looking out for you, and honestly, what mum wouldn't be proud of you? You've still got that same kind heart you've always had despite all of the pain you've been through, which is something that is so incredibly rare, and that is 100% what angels are made off.
