I think I'm losing it. I feel like I'm in a different world, as if I'm not part of this world. I'm going through day to day motions, wondering what I am doing. I look at my hands... they don't seem to belong to me. I look at my body, doesn't seem to be mine.

how are you atlantica??

*hugs Ian and Laura*
I know exactly what you mean Laura...

*night night hugs everyone* I'm off till tomorrow

*hugs poison apple* at least I'm not the only one.

*hugs all good night*

I'm a bad wardie.
I'm a bad granddaughter.
I'm a bad daughter.
I'm a bad sister.
I'm a bad friend.
I'm a bad student.
I suck at life.

I hope that you all don't mind me stepping in. Has been over a year since I posted anything on here. Getting to that feeling again, need to find someplace safe because I don't feel safe. I will quietly sit in the corner if that is alright.

Of course we don't mind. You're welcome here any time. Sitting quietly in the corner is fine if that's what you need but feel free to talk if it would help.

*huggles all*

My university that has been causing me much grief due to failing me on a subject whilst I was in hospital for 6 weeks has offered me an alternative assessment and exam. They are also sending me all the materials covered in the subject to assist me with study preparations. The biggest factor I believe was my high marks throughout the study period. It's a major load off my mind.

*Hugs Louise*

*Hugs Laura* So are a good wardie Hun , We all have had times when we pop by , it's okay , we understand the life can get in the way.

*Hugs Mute Scream Laura*

*Hugs Ian*

*Hugs Felicia* You are none of those things! <3


*Hugs Mors Certa if okay?*

*Hugs Solo*

*Hugs Kahlia*

*Hugs Mark* How are you this morning?

I'm ........Flat Charlie , I've had enough of this Depression .

How're you Hun? *Hugs*

Felicia you are a good wardie, you just have a lot on your plate.*hugs* what happened to make you think all of those things.

Yay! Reminding them all the subtle way (filling in a spare lunch choice form for staff appreciation day) made them remember I exist! I got my official invitation this morning! It's Oscar party themed. "A black tie affair" Our invites are black and silver... I think since I am so not wearing a nice dress to work in, I'll go with the colors on the invites and wear my black and silver tie with slacks and a dress shirt. :)

It is so difficult to find words, to put them together in an organized fashion, to get my thoughts away from the negative, have been reaching out to my doc trying to get help, my messages have gone unanswered. I don't know what to do, sinking deeper seems to be the only option, but it is not a pleasant one. Forgive the rambling, cannot seem to make much sense to myself, sure it doesn't make sense to anyone else.

*Hugs Crimson* You sound like you will be smart :)

*Hugs Mors Certa* I'm struggling with depression too :(

I didn't realise when I said I couldn't be here a few days ago that it really would be goodbye. I was in a weird mood, but I always thought I'd be back someday. Well now I am, but it's only to say goodbye. I can't stay here anymore, I've realised as much as I love you all, I am not getting enough out of being here to keep at it. I've always been independent and not relied on others and I'm afraid if I stay I will become that person who depends on others to get myself through what is bad. I am by no means recovered, but if I am ever to get there, I need to stand on my own two feet. I've been here many months now and have begun to open up and trust you guys, which is why I have to go. I am only safe if I am fighting for myself.

Oh life...I didn't know this was going to be hard. I didn't even know it was going to happen until this afternoon. I think I'm going to have to try and keep it short but that's going to be a fail because it's me and I ramble.

*Hugs Mors Certa* I know how it feels to reach out and be ignored. It's like no one cares, like you could just end it all and not a single person would even blink. But they would. I've been thinking about it, and there are people I never even talk to, say a girl from my drama class, but if she were to kill herself, I would always wonder why. If there were anything I could have done, if there were anything we all could have done. People will wonder and people will care.

*Hugs Mark* The same goes for you Mark, people would miss you and there is always something to cling on to. No matter how small. And one day you will fight through this. You'll have that family you have always wanted and you will kick the self harm. I believe in you.

*Hugs Crimson* I hope you have a good time, the party sounds awesome. And enjoy anything else that may come your way in the future, fight through what isn't so fun.

*Hugs Charlie* Well there's no need for goodbye is there? We speak every day. But I will miss talking to you here.

*Hugs Felicia* You are not a bad wardie and you need to stop saying that about yourself. We all love you and just because you can't always support everyone else, that does not make you a bad person. You are just struggling and I know better than most how badly it can hurt to put on a brave face and guide others through their struggles when you are breaking apart yourself. Don't ever put yourself down.

*Hugs Oliver* I know you're finding things hard right now, but remember those times when you were happy. Remeber that feeling, hold on to it and don't ever let anyone beat you down for being who you are. You're an amazing person and a great support, even when you are hurting so badly yourself.

*Hugs Lindsey* I know you are also struggling. You're living for your brother and there will be a time when there is so much more than that to live for. Just hang on, and keep on searching.

*Hugs Kahlia* I wish you a happy wedding and a very happy future with your partner. I'm glad the time in the hospital did you good and I hope all those FMLs look up in the near future. Have a wonderful life.

*Hugs Solo* In the short time you've been here, I've come to see you as a very kind and supportive person who deserves so much better than that man you are married to. You deserve someone who will truly care about you and love you no matter what. I hope you find that person some day because you deserve it.

*Hugs Jill* You've really made me feel loved in the time I've known you. Your surprise PMs when I am at my worst made me feel like someone cares and for that reason I should hold on, if only not to hurt the people I love. I love and care about you, hold on Jill, don't let the demons win. I remember the song I left here for you, that day months ago. (8) Nothing's going to harm you, not while I'm around....(8) and I still will be around, just PM away.

*Hugs Kelly, Laura, Laura, Julie, Matt, Ian and anyone else who may wonder into our midsts, or who may have slipped my mind*

There's a chance I may be back, if I fall down such a slippery slope I see now way out. I believe I've really made a dramatic thing out of this goodbye but I'm just like that. I hate goodbyes and tend to hinder them. Oh, and can people please remember the page number this is on and tell anyone who's not here at the moment that I said goodbye, and I want them to read thier part.

To all of you, I am just a PM away if ever I am needed. I love you guys and I know I belong here. But for now, I have to leave.

*HUGE Hugs Lia* I will miss you so but try and keep up on FB maybe? You are awesome and you can do this! You really can beat it.

*Hugs Lia* I'm going to miss you like whoa. But keep in touch with me on Facebook? I agree with Mark, you can beat this <3

Lia-that made me cry, and I know we still speak every day but I will miss speaking to you on here too.
*Hugs everyone*

You guys are making me get emotional now. I'll miss you all and of course I will keep in touch <3

<3 Love you Liaa :P
Might aswell do this all in one go instead of dragging it out, i'm going too. But I will write a long goodbye when my grandad goes to bed, cause I don't want him to see me cry.

hugs everyone

*hugs Lia*
I don't know you, but I hope you can get better all on your own. You sound like someone who is strong enough.

Okay. I think it's about time I said my goodbyes. I really don't wanna do this :(
When I 'checked in' to the ward, I was Nicole. I was scared. I was a mess, and I didn't trust anyone. I've been here over a year, and have made some absolutley amazing friends, and gotten so much support from you guys. But lately i've found that i'm finding being here hard, and I think it's doing more harm than good. That's why i'm leaving. You guys have been amazing, and have gotten me through so much, you've Sat with me when i'm upset, you've hugged me, and you've reached me in my darkest moments. I will never ever forget my time in the ward, or the people who have helped me in my time here. But I do have to leave.

I really don't have the energy to do individuals, But I want to say an extra special thankyou to Mark and Oliver.
Mark-you're amazing, you helped me so much after I lost Hayley, you've always been there to give me support and I can never thank you enough.
Oliver-Thankyou for being there when I was having issues, and helping me figure out who I really am.
Also I just want to thank Lia, although she posted her goodbyes earlier, for being completley mental. :P
Thankyou to everyone else who has been here throughout my time here,
Around a year ago, a girl called Nicole joined the ward. Tonight, a woman called Charlie is leaving. I will still be around on RYL. And I'm only a PM away if you ever need me. I love you all. <3

One of the hard things of being in the ward is watching people leave, I have just come back and don't even know anyone here anymore. Thankfully, I will be able to sit in the corner and quietly watch for a while. Thank you for letting me be here, I definitely need someplace safe.

*hugs lia and charlie tight* Take care the both of you.

*hugs mark and kahlia* thanks you two. I'm not leaving, I just feel out of place and bad about not offering much support. I'm just so busy with the end of uni, work, getting ready for graduate school, etc... I don't know, i'll stop whining heh.

*waves to mors certa* hi, im laura! If you read my post above, I am sometimes not a huge poster, but I do try to at least show my face (er well.. show my keyboard maybe lol) every few days. Hope you are feeling comfortable in the ward. You can definitely stay here as long as you'd like.

*hugs the other laura (i'm laura btw :-) ), louise, crimson, solo, and everyone else*

Thank you Laura! I really appreciate the hug! ~Hugs ya back~

Not in control ...the voices are ...scared what they might do

Serenity honey, God's voice is louder. Listen to him!

*Hugs Lia*

*Hugs Charlie* I'll miss you so much Hun.

*Hugs Louise*

Thanks Mark! ~Mornin hugs~

*hugs everyone*

*huggles all*

The bs that has been happening since I got home from the Cairns hospital is still going on. We got our statements from social security and they have only given us rent assistance based on 1/2 our weekly rent costs. And I've had majorly bad news about my shoulder. It's going to require surgery by a specialist that isn't available north of Brisbane. Seriously FML

I hope that everyone is doing well or improving.

Sorry for my lack of individuals.

*leaves safe love and care packages on the table with hugs for anyone who wants or needs them*

*Hugs Louise*

*Hugs Solo*

*Hugs Lindsay*

*Hugs Kahlia*

I'm logging on from the Library as I have 90 minutes to kill in town between Meeting Becky and Meeting Hannah :S

*snags a big soft plushie from the pile Kahlia left and sits with it in the closet*

*Hugs Crimson* You alright hun?

Trying not to implode...

This song has been stuck in my head for 3 days...

*gives everyone hugs*

*puts some cookies and brownies on the table*

*sits in a corner and sighs and wonders what to do now*

hugs everyone

*Hugs Crimson* I'm sorry but I really don't have the focus to read your hidden post , I am thinking of you though :O)

*Hugs Louise*

*Hugs YodaBear*

I realised I haven't said goodbye to Morgana, Louise or Heather, I'm going to miss you huys and I wish you all the best for your recovery and the future. There are just so many of you that I am going to miss. I really am going now though, from what I've learned about saying goodye is that you have to just say goodbye and bugger off. So bye all. I love you.

Ok soooooooooo, I decided to start a blog. I'm going to actually try to keep it fairly up to date... We'll see how this all goes. It's this in case anyone wants to know... yeah, thought I'd share even though it has pretty much nothing on it yet (just finished setting it up).

Crimson , Please PM that link to me if thats okay?

*Hugs Lia*

*hugs everyone* how are you all?

I am doing awful, I hope you all don't mind me posting, I don't know what else to do besides sitting in a corner and crying, the thoughts and emotions are too much,

*offers hugs to anyone who wants/needs them*

It's kind of weird. My fiance and I are facing bankrupcy by the end of the month, and will be homeless and living on the street (no homeless sheter will take us) when we are forced to move in june, but I still love him dearly and don't want to leave him. Whatever happens I want to die loving him.

*Hugs Laura*

*Hugs Mors Certa*

Well I got drunk and Desperate last night , I really wasn't safe so I called My Best Friend and she let me crash on her sofa , I feel so stupid but I was going to hurt myself badly so I called the one person I know in town who I trust with this kind of thing , I think I freaked her out a bit , she knocked on my door at 10.45pm asking if I was okay having drunk a lot and took meds and I reasured her , She even offered me her bed and said she would take the sofa but not a chance I would go to her home and steal her bed ! I Love this woman .

How blessed you are to have such a great friend! How ya doin now Mark?

I'm pretty low Solo :( Just life is getting to me , I've had enough , I keep feeling low and triggered and am getting suicidal fantasys :(

I'm so sorry you're so low recently! You so need n deserve a break!

Let's just say, it's a good thing I have kids.
