Anybody want to vent or chat about anything? (Triggering Stuff Edition) w/c 23.02.26

Callum · February 23

Hey Everyone! Here is this week's 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 relapsed last night kinda badly :/

Verity · February 24

Hey @River thanks for sharing this with us, how are you feeling today? we're here to support you.

River · February 24

@Verity idk gonna do it again I guess

Verity · February 24

Hey @River if you feel insafe at any point, please know that the NHS 111 service is here for you, as well as your local GP and A&E. If you'd like to share more about what led you to relapsing yesterday we're here to listen and support you.

Callum · February 25

Hey @River I just wanted to check in today to see how you're feeling after relapsing and what the situation with that is if you don't mind me asking?

River · February 25

morning @Callum im okay today thank you, just getting ready to try aerial hammock as I used to do aerial hoop but my back can’t handle it. 111 never got back to me but I’ve contacted my drs they said it’s okay and they are gonna refer me to the mental health team again

River · February 25

contacted my doctor about my self harm and the fact the sertraline is causing it

River · February 25

spoke to the dr :/ got to wait till Tuesday and try not to sh

Verity · February 25

Hey @River how are you feeling about waiting until tuesday to speak to the doctor again?

River · February 25

@Verity its just gonna end up with me potentially doing it again but doctors never listen

Callum · February 25

@River It makes sense that you might be frustrated when doctors never seem to listen. I'm wondering what you could do between now and Tuesday to help reduce your urges to self-harm? We're always here for you.

River · February 25

I’m not sure @Callum ive been drawing a lot more

Callum · February 26

@River These drawings are so good! It must be so relaxing, and so rewarding when they are completed. How long do they take to do I wonder?

River · February 26

@Callum they only take a few minutes really

Callum · February 26

@River They are so talented, along with your writing too, it is so good that you have these to help you through the difficult times. Are these things that you could be doing over the weekend to help you stay calm until your doctors appointment on Tuesday?

River · February 27

TW// I scratched a certain place because it was itchy and it’s scratched my sh in that area, it’s throbbing and opened a bit agai

Sabah · February 27

Hi @River I've just popped a spoiler tag on your comment. How are you feeling today? And just to check in, do you need any medical attention for it?

Nathan · February 27

@River that sounds quite painful. Is there anyway to perhaps bandage it up, or get it checked out by a professional if needed?

Sian321 · February 28

@River thank you for opening up about this. That sounds sore. Can I ask, do you feel like you need medical attention? Please know that NHS 111 are here for you if you do. There is also this NHS artilce which offers advice on how to care for your wound: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/cuts-and-grazes/.

It sounds like you might have SHed lately, is that right? How have you been doing emotionally?

River · February 28

hey @Sian321 its been medically checked and other than bruising it is healing nicely :)

please can you add a spoiler for me, I can’t do it on my phone sorry

River · March 1

in tears and genuinely fed up atm with so many things

Leyla · March 1

Hey River, we're here if you want to go a bit more into detail about some of the things that you're fed up with, you aren't alone here!

River · March 1

thank you @Leyla im just done tempted to just ghost the whole world or disappear

Leyla · March 1

@River I hear you River, it can feel like it might be easier to isolate sometimes and then maybe the world can't reach you. What's happening for you at the moment that has you feeling like you might want to disappear I wonder?

River · March 1

@Leyla im feeling controlled by someone and I’m just fed up with it

Sabah · March 1

@River that does sound overwhelming and frustrating. We're here for you if you'd like to share more? Of course, only share what you feel comfortable doing, there's no pressure at all.

Redemption · March 1

A shame support isn't on, im a bit lonely, I wanted to talk about it a bit and something happened last night too

Sabah · March 1

@Redemption I know chat isn't on tonight, but we're still here to support you if you'd like to share what happened last night here?

River · March 1

@Sabah there’s someone who doesn’t like me talking to others so tell me I’m not allowed too and he then tells me to lie to my gf which i never do but then I lie to him about lying to my gf
