Bio

I don’t really know what to put here but I enjoy games and I’m getting into skincare which does make me feel a little better after a hard time. I have a lot of pets which includes a few cats, a couple of snakes and a lizard.

Forced into quitting my job

...See more I’ve tried to go back to work recently after a leg injury and they haven’t been helping me at all. They didn’t give me a slow return like my doctor said so and threatened dismissal, which severely affected my mental health. I felt useless, panicked and intimidated. So I didn’t have much choice but to resign. I'm extremely worried and anxious about my chances of finding another job. I need my doctor’s help desperately. I just want to be happy and enjoy life again like I did before my injury.
Broken leg thanks to a man

...See more I’ve completely hit rock bottom recently. 3 weeks ago I tried to help another woman who looked like she was being attacked by her boyfriend. She started speaking aggressively towards me for some odd reason and then her boyfriend attacked me. He pushed me to the ground, I managed to limp home and a couple of hospital trips later revealed I have a broken leg. I’m scared I may need surgery on my ligaments and even that I’ll never walk again. Depression and hopelessness is hitting hard. If by some miracle I fully recover, I’m not going to willingly go near a man again.
Friends have left me

...See more I had a nasty breakup a few months ago and I was starting to recover around the holidays, my friends supported me in the months since my ex partner dumped me. However I got a couple of messages from them today saying they no longer want to engage with me. I knew they were still talking with my ex on social media and they said they had learned more details about the breakup. I don’t know if my ex is getting some kind of revenge by making me lose my friends but it appears to be working.
I don’t want to love again

...See more I recently posted in the breakup section about my ex dumping me after we argued about me spending time with my friends. There’s additional details in that post if anyone is curious. I’ve found myself thinking recently that there’s no point in being in a loving relationship after this. I don’t want to be in love again and risk being hurt again. I’m too exhausted and scared to do it all over again, only for another person to throw it in my face on a whim.
Unusual Breakup

...See more A couple of weeks ago I told my boyfriend that I was going out with some friends in November. The conversation started out normally enough until he began to get very anxious and angry. He demanded to know why he wasn’t told earlier and why he wasn’t invited to come along with us. This evolved into a whole argument where he accused me of planning on cheating on him. I kept on telling him the truth and getting increasingly more upset and even frightened of his behaviour. I apologised several times and even cancelled the meet up with friends to try and appease him. Nothing worked to calm him. Eventually he cut me off and stopped talking to me until the breakup text came a week later. He still believed I was going to cheat on him at some point and that I needed to be honest with him. He also said that we could still be friends and maybe get back together when I learn to be more honest. I’m beating myself up for not telling him sooner about the meet up with friends and just thinking that I’m the villain in this situation. I also don’t think there’s a chance of another partner in my future, I just don’t want to get hurt like this again.
Feeling like nobody is supporting me

...See more I decided to get a new job after my current one was making me feel severely depressed and suicidal, mainly due to overwhelming workloads and very little support. The new job is doesnt have as many hours (its flexible working) and involves travelling which doesnt really bother me but it does bother my mother. Shes concerned about the limited hours and travelling and would rather I stayed at my current one, saying I should bring paperwork home (which Im not allowed to do). My current job is close to home which is its only pro, everything else is a huge no :(
Getting worse

...See more I feel like things are getting a lot worse with my depression recently, theres paperwork delays in the recruitment process for my new job and Im getting paranoid that they are not intending on hiring me at all (Ive always been suspicious about employers). Tonight has been especially bad with my mother being in a very bad mood. For some background, she doesnt ask for help when she needs it despite having various medical problems. She tends to bottle up her feelings until it explodes outwards, usually at me. I feel like life is getting worse and Im getting increasingly tempted to commit suicide :(
