Come out of the corner, Zed. We're here for you.

I'm surviving.

Hi, can I rejoin? My name is Shannon. I used to come here, but I kinda disappeared for almost 2 years.

Hi Shannon, welcome back. How are you?

*shuffles over*

Surviving isn't as good as living y'know....

Hey Shannon, welcome back =)

:) thanks guys, hugs. I am not doing so well anymore. How are you two?

Anything you want to talk about, Shannon?

I guess i'm just tired of fighting to exist when it's not what I want.

*hugs Linds*

I don't have any useful words but I do completely understand...

Today has been one huge, uphill struggle. I feel so distressed and unable to cope.

Thanks, Zed. *hugs back*

Do you want to talk about it, Jamie?

*cuddles Lindsay*

I've just been struggling to get out of bed, get things organised and function the past couple of weeks. I need to get my college funding and flat for next year sorted, but I just feel exhausted and my temper's been really short. I even struggled to get to the awards ceremony I was supposed to attend, and I don't even feel like I've accomplished anything despite the fact I got my qualification in youth work today.

*sits with everyone* love you guys <3
zeddeh, stay strong <3
congrats on the youth work qual :)

(One, I don't remember your name. Sorry) Tomorrow will be 8 months of not cutting and I am just struggling to not do it. I am just tired.

Jamie, it sounds like you're feeling really low and it's affecting a lot of your daily life. Has anything happened recently to lower your mood?

Shannon, nearly 8 months free is absolutely amazing! Don't give up now, you can keep going. Maybe you could do something nice to 'celebrate' tomorrow. My name's Lindsay :)

can i come in and hide please?? stupid flashbacks and urges i hate them.

Hi Faye *hugs* What are you doing to try and cope?

Thanks lindsay how are you? i tried to talk to my bf but he felt ill so we only spoke shortly then i tried to sleep but turning off the light made things worse so now im just looking online at random things. Im scared though i dont know how to control myself.

Thanks Lindsay, I don't want to give up. i may do something to celebrate tomorrow, idk, i just don't feel like doing anything right now. sorry, i'm a mess.

*sits with faye* sorry tonight's rough :(
thinking of you <3

Hey all... don't have a lot of time to catch up on post, but I wanted to check in. I may not be on for a while. Things are pretty rough at home as my husband has informed me that he no longer feels the same way about me now that he did when we first got married and that he's not sure if he really wants to try and work it out. I'm doing my best to handle it in a healthy way, but it's very difficult to say the least. My stomach has been in knots for days now. I can't even describe how bad this hurts.

thanks hun, that was a bad night and now ive had about 4 hours sleep and feel the same but hey its life...

Im so sorry to hear that ljmeep i really hope things get better for you soon sending love and hugs xx
