yooo
I’ve just had a moment of clarity, in the shower of all places. That a conversation needs to be had with someone, not with a goal in mind, but full and brutal honesty. I’m done pretending things are fine. But i need to sit with my own thoughts first, maybe even write them down, work out how i picture my side of the chat going.
@independent_ Sometimes those moments hit when we're not expecting it! It sounds like it is a conversation you feel needs to happen, and there is a lot of courage in having those tough chats with people. I know you've said you've been having a lot of busyness in your head right now, do you think this conversation topic might have been one of the worries for you right now?
@Leyla yes I’d say it’s a massive worry but it obviously took my brain a while to catch on and think clearly about it. It’s one of those where there’s no good time but it needs to happen and I need to stop putting it off, other than putting it off for a while to work through it in my head first.
hey
I'm struggling right now. Everything feels so heavy and exhausting and it's hard to find the energy to keep going when I just want everything to stop. Part of me wants to move out as soon as I'm old enough which would probably be supported living, but I don't know how I'd go about it and I don't feel prepared for adulthood in the slightest. I feel silly for saying all that for some reason, I guess I'm just not used to talking about how I'm actually feeling. I'm safe.
@independent_ It makes sense this is becoming a massive worry at the moment, but something you want to think clearly about. Remember we're here if you need to talk things through with us first to help you process an understand, or even just to get things off your chest. We're always here to support!
I wanna say hi to people from work but I feel too scared, I want to make convos, I want to push myself to do it, maybe even tomorrow
@Nemuritai It can be difficult when everything feels so heavy and exhausting to find the energy to keep going. I'm hearing that you've been thinking of moving out and maybe into supported living, but that's something you don't feel ready for yet. I'm wondering if you might share more about what has led to you feeling this way recently? No pressure to share though of course!
Hi @Callum, sorry about the late reply. It's difficult to explain exactly, but it's mostly not getting on with my family and not feeling supported or able to grow as a person at home - I'm safe though. I don't know if that makes any sense, but I generally feel like I'll be a lot happier when I'm able to move out. I don't know a lot about how moving into supported living in the future actually works though, where to find information about it, or when I'll be old enough for that to be possible. I apologise for the ramble.
@Nemuritai It can be so frustrating when you feel like you don't get on with your family and have to live with them, it makes sense you'd be looking at moving out. When you say you don't get on with them, what does that look like for you?
No need to apologise about your post, it sounds like thinking about moving out is something that's causing you some stress, which is normal, and we're here for you through that.
Hi everyone, I'm here if anybody wants to chat for a bit.
hi
Hi @toffuna101, how are you?
Thanks bro, how's you?
@Redemption not the best, but getting there. how are things for you bro? A LISA sounds awesome btw.
drainedddd. going sleep soon 😴
im ok
@Nathan thanks bro, maybe you can do one at some point if you wanted to. I'm ok, i was talking to samirtans and the Samsung Internet crashed on my phone and I couldn't reconnect my chat so I got fustrated, got angry and started punching my phone screen but its ok now I guess. Sorry to hear you aren't the best bro, we're all here for you.
hi, is anyone available to chat?
hi
@eylah hello my favourite twat, how are you?
@toffuna101 hey, sorry i've not replied to this sooner. I'm here if you want somebody to talk to about anything.
hello. just had to do welfare on my friend bc they have sent me rly concerning msgs. so im rly drained 😢
@eylah that sounds like such an emotionally difficult thing to have to call in for. It must be incredibly difficult having to worry for your friend like that, and have to make that sort of request for a welfare check.
I know this might not mean a huge amount, but you're a really good friend for doing what you did for them, and are potentially a life saver. It's important to give yourself some time now, to relax, and be kind to yourself.
What a week. A lot buzzing around my head, and i have put 2 and 2 together again that the physical symptoms I’ve been having recently are probably, yet again, down to long term stress. And the dream i had last night is probably stress too. I need to learn how to relax again, last time this happened it took a holiday to Ibiza to get me to relax, but i don’t think i can just book one of those because i need to relax lol.
@toffuna101 sorry to be late to reply, im around tomorrow you need to chat, sorry i wasn't able to reply earlier or if tomorrow isn't good enough, we are here for you though, always
now she’s telling me more sh!t. it to much to manage with bc i cant physically help her. i have tried getting her help. but she lives so far away so it’s awful for me bc i cant do much :(.
@eylah your doing the very best you can for her. You've done so much already, you deserve to be able to have a rest for yourself now. You deserve a break from this emotionally painful situation. You've contacted help for them, you've been there for so long for them, your wellbeing matters as well. If i were you, i'd send out support lines for them to speak too, or if they are in danger, i'd contact authorities for them, and then i'd step away from the situation to recover yourself, even if just for a few hours or the night because you've done all you can do for them at that stage. And because you deserve rest from this situation now. You've gone above an beyond as a friend, are a truly kind person, and it's important to put yourself first now.
Sorry for the slow reply btw
Sorry I know this is first world problems and people are having serious issues but I just don't want to be driving the fiesta too much longer, it feels a bit slow, looks outdated and does feel like a tin can a bit. Im grateful to have a car and all of that though
