I'm so exhausted, I'm so done. I'm in pain.

    Hey @Animalloverb - I'm really sorry you're feeling this way. I don't know much about what's going on for you, but I can hear that things are really hard right now. I'm here to listen if there's anything you want to talk about, or if you want to vent <3

    @Nemuritai and @sinead276

    Everything is just too much, my mind is too overloaded. I'm overwhelmed, I'm stressed, I'm tired.
    I'm just an absolute mess.

    I am doing a talk today so may not respond.

    that sounds like a lot to be managing @Animalloverb - and no worries if you don't reply much today, there's never any pressure to do so.

    if i had one tip or piece of advice to give you, is to try and incorporate things you enjoy into your day wherever possible. little things that give us a boost or help us rewind after stressful days can be so powerful. it could even be as small as listening to your favourite song or one that just makes you feel good.

    Good luck with your talk today too (i'm assuming it's you doing the talk) - and whenever you need to just get the things out your mind, you can always vent or talk on here :3

    @Animalloverb I hear you, and that sounds really tough. I know it can be really difficult when you feel this way, and it's really brave to share how you're feeling.

    When things feel overwhelming or you feel tired and stressed, it can be really helpful to take some time to do something that helps you recharge or feel just a tiny bit lighter. It doesn't have to be a big thing - I personally find making a warm drink can be really relaxing but you might have different things that help you unwind.

    And I just want to remind you again that we're here for you whenever you need support or someone to talk to <3

    Thank you, the talk is going well, normally my talks are around an hour, but todays talk is 2 hours. I am having a break while they all have one and then I will do the last hour of my talk.

    Everything is just tough right now. I'm just suffering with no way out.
    I'm sorry for ranting and stuff but things are just a bit hard at the moment.
