So, bit of a funny one. Im at a supported living, temporary accommodation for monitoring and 24/7 support access for 5 days, out of my home enviroment for the first time. The thinking being that its sort of a respite like stay, away from my home for the first time, and from my brothers 24/7 screeching, somewhere miles away, on the other side of the city. A break from it all, whilst having my mental state monitored over days, not single 30 minutes sessions, and intense therapy sessions paired with it, sort off.
The funny thing about this all - despite about 5 or so miles away from home, this place is smack bang behind my brothers special needs school, directly connected via the back fence, and i heard and saw him when i went into the garden this morning💀💀💀
theres no escape 😂😭
@Nathan so unfortunate that you moved into temporary supported living accommodation for a break, and then still saw your brother and saw him at school from the garden. No escape for you!
I guess at least you are still having a break away from home but you still know he is still okay and safe, which is a positive!
why am I wanting to cry over a TikTok my partner sent me about what he’d like at our wedding - I feel stupid
I'm really struggling with this breakup, more than any stress parenting or coparenting is giving me. I don't know what to do about it
I'm Really sorry to hear that @ivy07
Being a young parent is tough, and being a single parent is even more difficult. Your doing amazing, I am here if you want to talk through anything.
I really appreciate it @Animalloverb . From what I know, you're circumstances are more difficult than mine, you should know that your doing amazing as well.
Tbh I don't really know how to talk about it. I've been too busy to let myself process, and then all the emotions pester me at night and I don't want to face it. I keep trying to cope but it's not working and I'm losing sleep.
@ivy07
That's okay, it can be hard to process such things and it can be hard to put things into words. I'm sorry to hear that your losing sleep, it can make coping with things a whole lot more difficult.
If You want to try and put things into words, or ever want to talk about anything at all I will be here for you.
stressed
@Callum yeah, it was just a bit of a surprise to hear the screeching noises again, when i thought i had gotten away from it all. Thankfully, it's only for a short while, and i can't hear him when i go inside to my room, so that's a positive.
Going out last minute to see my father and get dinner at McDonald's. I hate McDonald's.
@Animalloverb thank you so much! I'll be on the mix groupchat later
Me right now.
I can't sleep :/
Kinda hungry asw, might've accidentally skipped dinner. Midnight snack sounds like a vibe but also don't wanna digest in my sleep X0
I miss her so much. At first, despite it being hard, I had strong resolve that we could get through this. But then she turned up to my gig, and because of some complications we ended up staying at the same place. It meant everything to be around her again and I felt so clingy. But we knew it was a one time mistake and carried on with our break because we're not even supposed to be talking at all to help eachother move on. But I'd accidentally left a new shirt so I went to pick it up at hers the other day and now I feel like I can't do this. I can't even process what I'm feeling because she's the only person I can let my feelings out around. We printed like 100+ photos of memories as one of our goodbye gifts and now they're just sitting there in a memory safe box. Theres so many photos, my entire camera roll is just memories of us. And I don't want to look at them, they don't feel real. I don't want to sleep because my dreams will remind me of her and then I don't want to wake up. I just feel so confused, it doesn't make sense.
Really cannot be asked right now.
Really stressed right now at Asda.
Back home now at last….. back to my brothers 24/7 screeching, faeces' smearing, and then my 24/7 hypervigilance
Just finished Asda to get onto a bus with loud and gaping college students. Hope my day gets better when I get home.
@ivy07 It can be so frustrating when you feel like you can't sleep with so much going round in your mind. I'm hearing that you're struggling after you saw her again at your gig and you ended up staying in the same place. It makes sense that that might have brought up some old feelings and made you realise just how much you missed her. It must be such a difficult situation to navigate when you miss her so much, especially when you're feeling confused about it all.
@so_very_tired That sounds so frustrating, to have been working all day and then to not have a peaceful bus ride home. How have things been since you got home?
I'm fine right now thanks. Had a nap and missed most of the chat which is annoying but they'll be one running tomorrow so that's good.
Ive not been on for a few days but yh not been too bad. Just the 6am starts are hard and I look at the time hoping 6am comes as slowly as possible. My phone was missing me off so I got mad and threw it, I battered up the screen protector
Relatable 🤣
I just read the newly released pages of Heartstopper and I got the date of when it will end. God, I'm not ready.
