@forcefulCup5806 Have as many as you like :) (((hug)))

@forcefulCup5806 hugs to you. Hugs are good.

For everyone who needs it:

I hope you feel better soon, because you're an amazing person and you deserve to feel amazing

@crimsonPlum47 Otto remember this whenever your feeling low, from me to you <3

I'm feeling sad and depressed... my depression has been getting worse lately... I just found myself thinking about taking pills or cutting... that scared me, I'm only in 7th grade...

I want a hug so badly! I feel so alone and lonely, just wish someone could take a few minutes to listen to me... :(:(

Please don't ever feel like hurting yourself is the answer. You more beautiful than you may ever realize. And 7th grade is a difficult time because its a coming of age in leaving childhood and entering teenage doors , so i feel u on that.

@DreamHope People here especially are here to listen to you. I know it's tough right now, but you can make it through this. Sending hugs your way (((hug)))

@DreamHope please don't hurt yourself.. You're worth more than that, honestly. Any chance you can seek professional help? Talk to your parents?

As a parent myself, I would rather you'd talk to me, then hide your feelings.

Hugs to you. You are not alone.

Hugs for all <3 like a cute little baby getting gently burped on the back

Black day today. Been fighting so hard recently and generally doing ok. Managing to do more, mindfulness helps, trying to be sociable, walk dog loads. Weaned myself off the anti depressants, very slowly

But today everything is so very, very black...

sorry

@Dailycoffee Don't apologise, nothing to be sorry for at all. You did great at trying to take your mind off how bad your day is but I know from my own experience that sometimes, no matter what you do, you still feel down. And you know, it's okay to be not be okay - a good friend told me that last year, and I've found it to be true. Just keep on taking care of yourself, and have a hug from me. :) (((hug)))

@TheWanderer27​ thank you, I needed that hug and those words. And now I'm crying. Ok not to be ok, I kind of like that. My yoga teacher would say to just accept how you're feeling without judgement. Hope you're ok today yourself x

@Dailycoffee It's okay to cry as well. I know it can take some time to get used to things like that (and the fact that it's okay to not be okay) - I'm still getting used to it. And I have really dark days as well. But then I've learnt everyone does. And the fact that you're still here, still breathing, still doing well after everything you have been through in your life is a huge achievement, never forget that. :) And never underestimate the power of a hug (((hug)))

@Dailycoffee

*hugs* I hope you'll feel better soon, and if not: I'm here for you

@crimsonPlum47 thank you Crimson, much appreciated. I'm sure tomorrow will be a better day! Hugs back

*hugs everyone in the forum* Hugs can be so powerful c:

I seriously need a hug..i feel like i haven't had a genuine hug in so long...

@lovingPine3496 Does this count as a genuine hug? (((hug)))

@TheWanderer27 yes, thank you very much

I feel like I kinda need a hug.. not those hasty ones I always get, but the nice ones that leave you feeling all warm and fuzzy, I used to be good at those..

@DarkSnow7796 I'm good at giving those,hopefully a virtual one will work just as well. (((hug)))
