    Im physical hug deprived and I can’t sleep. I have my alarm set but never really need it because most of the time Im up as I can't sleep already.

    @Redemption hey bro, i know what you mean. I've not had a hug in years. And i'm awake drafting up more to add to the online safety act thread. I'm happy to talk for a while if you want.

    @DonnerKebab I fell asleep but thanks so much.

    I keep getting that feeling, when I feel like I just cry, so much has been on my mind lately.

    I'm currently on my internship work placement right now, I'm in the marketing department. But I don't think my mentor is here right now and I know a lot of the people here are busy. The thing is I've been working quite fast and I've managed to get all of my tasks done. So I haven't got a lot to do so I'm just sat here feeling unproductive and bored af. The thing is I need to actually say about it but like I find it hard to explain sometimes idk like I'm shit at talking to people.
    Just a person who likes pop culture and films

    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 @Redemption , I hear you're struggling. You've done really well to reach out. What does that struggling look and feel like right now? We're here and we're listening
  • Sian321Sian321 Community Manager Posts: 2,683 Boards Guru
    And @Cutelivejazz , it sounds like your body might be trying to protect you today a bit with that dissociation? What do you feel might have triggered that for you?

    @Cutelivejazz It isn't laziness. If it was laziness, you wouldn't have even bothered to have tried, let alone felt stupid and useless for not being able to. It's not that your lazy at all. Of that i'm 100% certain.

    I'm not a medical expert, nor a mental health expert either, but i really do think it's worth talking to one, which i think you mentioned in the past you aren't able to, to get checked for things like ADHD. It really sounds like that to me, which is why it may be difficult based on everything you've shared to be able to sit down and get a piece of work done. Again, just a theory, but it's worth doing what you can to speak to a mental health expert for it.

    @Redemption hey bro, I'm glad to see your getting the kind of praise you really do deserve. This is the sort of praise you should be getting in person all this time.

    @DonnerKebab appreciate it as always bro. Unfortunately I don't, maybe the off time tbh but I'm so glad I have it at all.

    Someone’s self harmed because of me just because I snapped at him saying he knows nothing about me and had no right to comment

    @River if someone self harmed because you told them that they didn't really know you and that they had zero right to comment on something that they aren't involved in, then that isn't on you. You aren't responsible for somebody else's decision to do that. You simply stated facts, and set a boundary with him that he had no right to comment on whatever it was. You shouldn't be guilt tripped or made to feel responsible. If i were you, i'd send them a few links to support services to get the help they need, and consider blocking them. It simply isn't right. It's not your fault.
