bye, have a good rest of your evening.
Aw you too
Don't listen to them and, if you haven't already, try your best to block them out of your life. You already have quite a lot on your plate right now and you don't need someone's opinions on you bringing you down even more. You're an amazing and wonderful person and I, and others here, really like you.
@eylah its not true, anyone would be so extremely lucky to have you, you're an incredible person and you dont deserve to be compared to other girls
Good luck, I hope all goes well for you.
thankyou so much.
You're so welcome - I'm proud of you for protecting your wellbeing, even though it must have been hard
this made me teary. thankyou so so so much!<3 you’re the sweetest!
thankyou so much @Redemption
@eylah I know this might not mean a lot, but nobody should be comparing you to other girls, making you feel lesser than in a relationship, or ever for that matter. That prick by the sounds of it was trying to belittle you at every turn, trying to bring you down emotionally, and what he was saying would make anybody feel insecure and have a really bad impact on their mental health. I really think he was an extremely toxic person. You deserve so much better than that. Pricks like that don't deserve your kindness or care, or presence for that matter. You are a truly amazing person, with the kindest heart ever, and shame on anybody who treats you poorly.
And also, i am so so proud of you for drawing a line with him. Breaking up and blocking him must have hurt a huge amount, but despite that you pushed through, and were brave enough to do what was right for you and your wellbeing. That takes so much strength, and you should be immensely proud of yourself too. You deserve a lot more, and i'm glad you see that too.
aw. thankyou so much nathan. rly means a lot what you have said in this msg. rly makes me think how much I deserve in this world
No problem at all ❤️ @eylah
Thank you, I didnt see this till now but really appreciate it Amy
I also feel really alone. My best friend, who used to make me feel safe, isn’t around much anymore, and I miss her a lot. I don’t really have anyone else I can talk to or hug when things get bad. It feels like whenever I trust people, they either leave or hurt me — even adults who were meant to help.
A while ago, my maths teacher was investigated and removed for sending inappropriate messages to students. He never messaged me personally, but knowing it happened and realising how unsafe things were really affected me. Since then, I’ve found it hard to trust adults at school or believe that the people who are supposed to help actually will.
I’ve had bad panic attacks for a long time, even before that situation. During them I feel dizzy, my limbs go numb, and nothing feels real. Sometimes I dissociate even when nothing specific has happened, and it’s really scary.
Because of everything that’s happened, I get very attached to people who make me feel safe. I cling to them because I’m scared they’ll leave, and I want to make the most of it while it lasts. But that sometimes pushes people away, which makes me feel even more abandoned. It feels like no matter what I do, everyone ends up leaving eventually, and I don’t know how to stop being so scared of that.
Right now I just feel empty, scared, and colourless, and I don’t know what to do. I want to feel safe again and find someone I can really trust.
(Im lazy so i got chatgpt to type this up bc therapy is expensive and people are fucking unrelaible so ig chatgpt is my therpist. I also sent it to childline this morning I didnt get a response yet sorry if there is repetiton of things ive said before.)
Edit: Also goodbye @Nathan take care of yourself and thank you for all of your support

ok
TW: self harm
sounds like you may need help beyond what we can offer you. maybe speaking with your mum? if not can you call a helpline? last resort being 999. or going to your local hospital for support bc it sounds like you may need urgent help rn.
ill text shout. i dont wanna go to A&E unless if i absolutely have to because 1) i wont be able to sleep because of the noise, 2) theyll just discharge me like last time and 3) its boring but itll keep me safe i guess.
I am so sorry, but I am too tired for this. I am barely keeping myself awake. Just try your best to distract yourself and keep yourself safe. If it comes to it, and I pray to God it won't, call 999.
