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 you 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, clickย here.

    @Riverย there's no need to apologise at all! That's exactly what these boards are for, to support one another. Do you feel comfortable sharing more about what's going on right now?

    Hey @River, just following up on the chat, how are you feeling today? Sorry to hear that Samaritans ended the chat with you like that. You deserve to be heard and supported.

    Hey @River that sounds difficult, thanks for sharing this with us today. I'm wondering what about today feels so horrible? You said above that you were feeling suicidal when you spoke to Samaritans, are you still feeling suicidal today I wonder? We're all here for you.

  • RiverRiver Posts: 5,425 Part of The Furniture

    @River anniversaries can be so tough. We're here if you need to talk about it or need a distraction. Have you got anything planned today that might help you through these feelings? You also said you're still feeling suicidal, are you safe at the moment? I'll check in with you via DM, thanks for sharing this with us.

    Dad crashed into the back of someone else yesterday on the way to my uni applicant day and im still so shaken up around it. No one was hurt and theres only a crack in the front bumper but ever since losing my stepmom to a car accident ive been scared in a car and I just feel like that fear is bigger now.

  • independent_independent_ Community Connector Posts: 10,156 An Original Mixlorian

    @Chloe I can absolutely understand that fear given what youโ€™ve been through. I have also lost people to car accidents (though no one as close as you) and i felt the same anxiety for a long time and still sometimes do. Iโ€™m so glad you were all ok, though in that moment it must have been really scary.

  • SabahSabah Community Manager Posts: 106 The Mix Convert

    @Chloe what an awful experience, it must've been terrifying. Glad to hear that no one was physically hurt but of course it was bound to have had an emotional toll.

  • SabahSabah Community Manager Posts: 106 The Mix Convert

    @River I know things were rough a few days ago, just wanted to check in and see how you're doing? What are your plans for this evening/night?

  • RiverRiver Posts: 5,425 Part of The Furniture

    itโ€™s all completely kicked off tonight :/ I give up with trying to support people if if backfires and they throw it back in my face
