right now I am....
@j95 Sorry to hear you're having a bit of a rough night, mate. Like @benjamin_ said, you're definitely not stupid for having these kinds of thoughts. We all have negative thoughts about ourselves from time to time. Sometimes it helps to talk them out with a friend or family member if you feel comfortable doing so. And remember the RO crew is always here to chat!
@j95 sorry to hear dude. I gotta say it though - you aren't stupid for having those thoughts and thinking that way. I know that it can be really tough to battle the crappy thoughts that seem to come out of nowhere and escalate, but I also know that you're a super strong and resilient guy so try to hang in there.
Is there anything you can do tonight that might make you feel a bit better? Or perhaps plan anything for tomorrow?
The phone call to the mental health team was pretty useless, they just said distract myself until I go to bed. I was already doing that..sigh...oh well, I did the right thing by calling instead of self harming.
@redheadYou can definite get past this! Whenever I feel low (which is often) I either listen to stand up comedy, listening to people laughing helps my mood a lot! or just do something that makes me too exhausted to think. If all things fails... watch youtube puppies! haha Anyways, hope you will wake up to a brighter day!
sorry to hear things are so rough for you atm @redhead
You should be proud of yourself for reaching out to them instead of self-harming, although it does suck that it didn't feel very helpful for you. Do you think there's anything you can do that might make help get you through tonight, or anyone else you can speak to?
Hope you're doing okay, stay strong.
You definitely did the right thing by calling the mental health team @redhead! You should be proud of the strength you've shown by calling them and not self harming. You're such a valued member of RO and you've helped so many other members when they've been having rough times, so you're in now way pathetic or worthless!
Have you gone through your survival kit and tried some of the things/activities that make you feel good and safe? Maybe painting or playing some xbox?
@j95 sorry about the late reply, In Europe I am going to Paris, Copenhagen, Amsterdam, Berlin, Brussels, Dublin, Edinborough, London! I cant waiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Right now i am... full of laksa 🙂
Paris is also lovely, and in Brussels the waffles are a MUST! (No joke, you must have a waffle there. They are pretty cheap too and you can have ice cream added on top and everything!)
OH!!! Before I forget, in Amsterdam series, Dutch Syrup Waffles. You can get them in the supermarket and they are the BEST! The absolute best! Syrupy, waffley goodness. The flower market there is also very nice, and if you like the Fault of Our Stars there's a bench. I've only been to Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin and Brussels though.
Hopefully I haven't missed anything, but watch out for the crowds in Paris (especially in the more touristy areas). What are you seeing there? (Since there is so much! I spent two days there and didn't see everything).
I hope you enjoy yourself! It's SO worth it 😄
right now i have a cramp in my leg from sitting on it and being cold - i never get cramps in my legs so this is weird what do i DOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!?
I am also excited because im about to have a yummy dinner and today i booked flights to Europe for October!
Right now I'm trying to work out what to do with my day. Studying? Shopping? Watching TV? So many decisions!
Right now i am watching Kids react!! 😄 great way to cheer up hahaha
