Hi @xXLexi_Lou122Xx , I haven't been on for while but I came back to RO to see that you have had such an eventful week! I am happy for you that you got to the bottom of your health concerns and they aren't too serious! Also, thought I would just add that my favorite kind of salad is a brown rice salad! with Salmon!!

Hi @xXLexi_Lou122Xx, How are you doing today? It can be so hard not to blame yourself for your own sadness. As I said before though I think this is actually a sign that you are an empathetic friend because you care about how your feelings affect others. Sometimes when my mind tries to blame me for things I try and consider the situation from an outside perspective. Maybe someone else looking in, just to get out of my own mind. Changing schools can be pretty scary. If you do end up moving maybe you can set up regular times before you do to spend with your current friends and maybe even the chaplain?

Hi @xXLexi_Lou122Xx I hope you are doing well today :) I agree with @Maddy-RO that if you feel comfortable it may help to alert your chaplain how you feel. It sounds as though they are trying to help but are a bit misguided in their approach. You could even send them a nice email saying you appreciate the help but that space and time is what would be best for you at the moment. ooh chocolaty treat! That sounds good.... it was a long time ago now but my favorite memory is my mum packing my fairy bread for primary school one day

Hi @khanh09, I am glad you are feeling calmer and I am sorry that such an unfair situation happened to you. It must feel very frustrating to feel as though you have finally got space from this issue to find it is coming back through a new person. Do you have a support network that doesn't include this couple? It might be nice to spend time with those around you that know and understand your side of the story.

Hi @khanh09, Welcome to the forums I am sorry that these events happened to you. It can be difficult to discuss these things (especially if you are worried that you aren't sounding rational) so it was brave of you to reach out. I am sorry that I myself don't have a lot of experience with a situation like this but I am sure other's on the forum do. I imagine it can be very difficult and scary to fear that people are trying to hurt you. I was wondering if you could provide a bit more information about the situation. Are you considering telling the police? Do you feel as though you are in immediate danger? (if so maybe you should consider telling the authorities or at least reaching out to someone in your life who you trust) Or do you feel at least relatively safe and more want to discuss whether certain things are just in your head?

Hi @xXLexi_Lou122Xx How are you feeling now? I agree with @Maddy-RO that it might be good to see a GP if you are able just because of the dizzy part. When I was younger sometimes I would get dizzy and get headaches and the doctor said my blood sugar was getting low occasionally (he also said that this was normal for many young people but that I had to watch it and take a bit more care with what I ate). Also addressing how you are feeling about people worrying. I know it can make someone feel really guilty but its a sign that they care and from my experience as a worrier, I have never been annoyed at the person who made me feel this way. I can see from the forums how caring you are and I am sure if your friends acted a bit differently you would worry out of concern (even if it was something small) and not want that person to feel guilty. I know that that is easier said than done and we can't always control your emotions but I guess its nice to remember that it seems like your friends care and support you.

Hi @Benn95, I thought I would echo @Bre-RO and congratulate you for being really brave and mature with the way you are tackling this issue. I have some friends who have compulsions and with them I think the biggest issue was admitting it was even a problem. The fact that you have identified the problem and are making steps to change I believe shows you are really strong Good luck! And if you feel safe to do so and would benefit from it I am sure the community here at RO would love to know how you are going as you face this xxx

Hey @ruthxxx, I get what you mean. With things like crushes even though logically you know they aren't a big deal I feel as though they always take an emotional toll. I'm not sure about you but the bit I find that makes me most anxious is the grey area and not knowing. I think in line with @Maddy-RO's advice, you are right in just being friends until exams are over and then reassessing afterwards. That way you can focus on your exams and then re asses when you are in a less stressful situation and can probably think clearer. I think you have done a really good job and at realizing what your needs are right now and that can be really tough when dealing with things like crushes. Goodluck with your exams!!

Hi @sharkteeth, Welcome to the forums! The fact that you reached out and care about this friendship demonstrates that you are a caring friend. It seems unlikely that your fiend hates you but maybe they are a bit thrown by the behavior during your group message. If it was unlike you maybe they are a bit unsure how to approach you now? I am not sure if you have discussed the incident with them in depth but you could potentially message and say that you behaved unusually because of the challenges that you were going through. Even if they aren't mad at all it can be nice to reach out to friends when we realise that we have behaved unlike ourselves due to mental health challenges and it can help our friends to be supportive. It could also be true that your friend is just preoccupied with other things right now. You have discussed that they are usually emotionally distant. They themselves may be going through something and you could reach out and ask if they are doing ok if you think this could be true. It was really brave of you to reach out and I hope you are doing well today! @Tasi

Hi @ruthxxx , How are you today? Are you both still finding it hard to talk in person. The first time hanging out after someone acknowledges feeling can be really awkward but usually the fades quickly! I know that whenever I really like someone I always would rather have a broken heart than to never try anything and always wonder what would happen if I did, but that may just be how my personality is. Do you guys talk online? It may be easier to organise a group thing over a group chat or even ask him how he is feeling over a message?

Hi @ruthxxx, It's such good news that he sent you that message! I know it may not seem like it, but it could be that one of the reasons he doesn't talk much around you is that he is also nervous.... liking people is nerve racking for everyone!!! If you feel up to it you could organise something with him?? Maybe you could invite your other friends so that it takes the pressure off. That way if it is a friend thing you can interact with him in person and maybe try and get a sense of whether he really does like you. Also, you will have other friends as back up if it gets awkward.... Just an idea! What have you been thinking about doing???

Hehe @ecla34 I like that! I mean she is a pretty badass female (Also good luck with the thesis I literally just gave mine in!) I think this is going to sound a bit corny and lame but I always get inspired by nature and music! I really love to travel and I always feel inspired in a new place. But even going on a walk on a local bush track or at the beach can inspire me! Especially if I take my earphones and listen to some music :catvery-happy

Hi @Bananatime04, I know it was a looong time ago now that you tagged me in this thread. I just wanted to pop in and say hi! I had some crazy pressure at uni recently and it was better for my mental health to hop off for a while. It seems like there has been so much support while I've been gone though! This is such a great community

Hi @ellabuck_x , Hmmm I see how this is a difficult situation. Have you had an honest conversation with your partner about how you feel? Not only your views on when to have sex but that you are worried about what it will mean for the future of your relationship? I know these conversations are tough but I feel like making sure you both know exactly where the other person stands will be helpful in making a decision as you move forward! I think it is good that you can respect his own beliefs but also understand what yours are and what it is you want. These are such good qualities when having these discussions! It sounds like you guys are having fun at this stage as well!! Maybe you guys could have an honest conversation now and also plan to talk again in a couple months to see if you are both happy with how everything is going?? I won't lie I have never been in this particular situation, but I thought I would add some thoughts <3

Oh my gosh your animal adventures sound very fun and kind of wacky @Tiny_leaf ! I can imagine bringing the conversation up with your parents will be quite hard. When I have a hard conversation ahead I like to write notes on my phone... I don't usually use them but I'm quite visual so having things written down clears my mind. You may have gotten that advice before... have you ever used a strategy when bringing something up with them before?

Hello Everyone! Sorry I'm late to this but I though I'd add a bit to the most recent question Is it possible to accidentally stereotype or discriminate against people? If so, what are some things we can do to prevent ourselves from doing this? It is definitely possible to accidentally stereotype or discriminate against people. I think it is important to being really open to that fact that you will likely get it wrong and listen to others' feedback. People don't want to be stereotypical or discriminate so it is easy to become defensive or angry if something you said is pointed out. However, (even though it can be really hard to do) admitting that you are wrong is usually the quickest way to do better. I honestly think if I someone is called out on being discriminate that the best response they could have is: "I'm sorry you are right, what do you think I could say instead/ do to be better next time?" I try remind myself it is ok to make a mistake if you use it to learn and in the end treat people better (even though it can be so hard to admit you were accidentally discriminate in the first place)

Morning @mspaceK, I'm sorry you had a bad dream last night <3 I think it's very understandable though that you are having a slow morning. Do you have bread? This will sounds silly but sometimes when I feel like I can't be bothered and I'm apathetic I like to just eat basic toast. Have you come up with any plans for between now and your session today? If you feel like chatting I am currently procrastinating a lot of uni work (oops)

Ohhhh @Tiny_leaf that looks so pretty!! I did a class in highschool were we got to make jewelry so if I can find some pliers I might give that a go! That would also be a good DIY as a present! I think DIY presents are such a nice gift! Do you know what your next project will be after your phone case?
