@paigeisdeadinside, @MandyCandy0512, we would be absolutely delighted to see you if you decided to turn up for the discussion! The discussions are a really amazing way for people to connect, share how they're feeling and find others who are feeling similarly, but are also like-minded. I really hope we get to see you today, but if not, that's okay--we have several sessions a week if you're interested! =]

Sorry to hear you feel so bad you would think that way. Luckily I don't have thoughts like that. The worst I feel is just wanting to sleep. To go to my bed and switch off. which is fine until I just don't want to get up again. Not that I don't want to be here anymore more like I need a break from dealing with my life

I'm not really sure how I feel atm. Kind of like I'm falling again. Starting to fight myself more and more lately *sigh*

Im okay today. it was a better day than i usually have because my parents agreed to let me get the haircut and piercing i want. but i was still having trouble telling if everything was real today.

A little nauseous and anxious. I was up last night crying, and woke up today with a pit in my stomach. I feel like I'm on the verge of a major downward spiral, but I'm working hard to keep it at bay.

I can sympathise I know that feeling I get it in the pit of my stomach or more recent like a weight on my chest. Like a big knot of tension that needs to be worked loose.

the only thing that helps me is to do something that requires full concentration. My major lifeline is my horse, he keeps me grounded but animals are fantastic that way.

Also a mindfulness technique is to 'breathe into' the area of discomfort. It requires concentration too and good when it works but sometimes if I'm on a bad day I find it hard to start it off

I missed the chat yesterday and that makes me a bit sad. It's okay; today I'm okay. I haven't started my day officially yet, but I'm super hoping it will be okay.

I feel like no one likes me, I'm just annoying and i exist for nothing. I like being alone but i don't fancy being lonely sometimes. I want to have a close friend again but then again I don't. My best friend had moved to another state and she says she misses me but it doesn't feel the same. I know she doesn't and knowing she doesn't kills me. Then my "boyfriend" is polyamorous which means he doesn't believe in one relationship with one girl. I don't have friends either. This is all tearing me apart.

I'm going back to school tomorrow after the hols and I just want to cry. Theres gonna be so much stress because I'm doing my gcses this year and I'm really not ready to deal with it.

I'm in that spot where you know you need to do something's and keep thinking how it should be done now but I'm still in bed. :-/

I feel panicked, angry and sad all at once. There are a lot of things in the near future that are terrifying me and they're making me want to run away... I don't know how to face all these things and it feels like I'm about to make huge mistakes, because I can't focus on anything anymore. It's just this huge chaos that I'm about to step into.
