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.

I’m just done with everything
With work
Life
Just everything
I feel sick to my stomach and just don’t see much point most of the time
The only thigg by a that keep me going are my dog and my bf
Can’t talk to him right now as I know what he’d say and tell me I need to talk to someone etc but can’t so that either
I think a lot of this is likely due to me being on my antidepressants again after not taking them for a few weeks or it if I did it was sporadic in when I’d take them. But also that I can’t do peer support this week and that I just felt a lot of things have been going on behind my back.
I’m just fed up with everything there is too much change happening.
Part of me just can’t do it anymore but I’ll disappoint a lot of people if I do anything
here for you lottie and im listening. you matter to me and everyone here at the mix. pls keep reaching out you matter.
Might have found out who contacted my gp about my medication access still don’t like it but I get why they did it
Nothing can ever be simple. I actually swear my life just makes everything 10x worse than it should be, and I Don't even know why. I am good person for heaven sake, not someone who does awful things.
God must have something against me.
@eylah I'm so so sorry. It must be impossibly difficult for you right now, but i want you to know, we're all here for you friend.
@eylah it's completely okay to have a slow day on such a painful anniversary. Please be kind to yourself and don't push yourself too much today. I can't even begin to imagine the heartache your feeling right now, and it's so unfair that your going through this pain. Sometimes it feels like god likes takes his best angels first, and we're all the poorer for it, but your mum will be looking down today, watching over you, feeling proud of you. And honestly, who wouldn't be proud of you? You're one of the kindest souls eylah.
@Animalloverb You've taken on such an enormous workload this last few months, and i can't even begin to imagine how crushing it must be. It's important to remember that at the end of the day, you are only human, and going on as things are is pretty much a guarantee of burnout and exhaustion. You aren't a machine. It really sounds like you do need a helping hand with things, and if you ever feel you need it, i can help get some lines together to organisations that can help with this all. The world is complete chaos, overcomplicated, and the weight of it is crushing even in normal times, let alone after everything you've been through and have to sort out still. You shouldn't have to do this alone.
And you are a good person. Of that, not a single person who ever disagree here, you are a light in so many peoples lives. Heck, in some cases, you're the only light in some people's lives. And that is something that is truly special about you mate. I can't answer why these things happen, why good people suffer, and why we lose good people. I know you mentioned you were religious, might i ask what religion if your comfortable sharing, as i may have some advice my vicar once gave me about why bad things happen to good people in regards to Christianity if that helps?
Hey mate,
Of course you can ask that question I don't mind. I'm Christian, I used to go to Sunday church services but my local church shut down for some reason.
I really appreciate it.
Also I am in and out of court at the moment so may be delays in my responses, sorry.
hey @Lottie5433 hru today?
Now I’m worrying and stressing and panicking a bit because my AGM at work that I’ve grown close to is leaving. Like they aren’t going far but it’s just so sudden, he did tell me the other day when he found out and I had to keep it a secret which was hard.
My head is hurting but I can’t do anything about that really.
Just got to look after my partner for a moment while he’s not well and try and make it to next Thursday when I can go to peer support again and meet the lady that I’ve been emailing and helping me with my anxiety about going
