that sucks @MB95
i sometimes play mindless games that don't need much attention but are distracting like 2048 while watching netflix
but sometimes even the best distractions aren't enough
honestly, if u need to ring a helpline, just do it. i thought about doing it so many times but was too scared. but i managed to convince myself last week and i did. i was scared, i was actually shaking, but it was worth it just to talk to someone. it doesn't matter if you don't know how to start. i'm sure they've heard everything. and i've always struggled with thinking that i'm not bad enough to ask for help. but you don't have to wait until you're on the verge of giving up to ring them. they say you can ring them about any issues. or if you don't feel like talking, you could try a webchat. it's not the same as a helpline, but if you don't feel like you can talk, which is how i used to feel, i guess it's the next best alternative 💙
