hi @Sarah_472 I know how hard it can be but just remember some things take time if your brother keeps hassling you just maybe let him know that not everything works out perfectly and that I need time. but don't let anyone pressure you, good things take time. I really hope this helps. and if you do feel like you can speak to your sister in law then yeah speak to her, speak to whoever makes you feel comfortable. let us know how it goes or if you need more help. ...

Hey so if I was in that position then I might try and hold of for a little bit just to see if maybe he needs space then try and talk to him. If he texts then maybe he was just busy or needed some time. Unfortunately I know you miss he and want to talk to him but hold off for a little bit until you find out more. If you really want to speak to him then maybe just a simple text saying "its okay if you don't want to talk I'm just letting you know I'm here". Hope this helps let me know how it all goes! ...

hi @bryana welcome! thank you for sharing your story very courageous.  I hope everything has been going a bit better for you these past couple of days. a tip that I always found to be helpful is to find one thing in each day that was a positive something you were grateful for. it can be extremely small or something huge that your grateful for. such as I'm thankful that I had a nice breakfast this morning. Then slowly when your ready start being thankful for two things each day then three and so on. let me know if this helps. makes me remember that there are still positives in life even when everything seems terrible.    ...

hey @Shanti11  hopefully you've had the chance to speak to her and sort things out. let us know. If you need a little more support then I recommend that maybe you could find a different friend to live with and just explain that you need some space and a change of scenery. If not try moving in with some family that way you have somewhere to stay. If you want to help her then maybe try finding local support group but don't stress yourself if she doesn't fix her problems immediately just remember people need to learn in their own time. Hope that helps a little.  ... View more

hey @Yin it makes sense that you miss them heaps and it is okay to go back and speak to them. I'm sure they would understand and be willing to have a catch up with you. Don't worry about your ex, if you see him try to be mutual but just remember that you don't have to be friends with everyone. You can speak to your friends if you see them and text them after school I'm sure they wont mind and would love to catch up with you.    Let me know how you go with all of this. ... View more

So many good things have come this year even though its been tough for everyone. Being able to spend more time with family is great for me. During this time of isolation even though I was away from all my friends I was able to focus on myself for the first time in a while and catch up on things that I love and miss doing. And lastly I was finally able to find a job so thing have currently been looking up for me.  ... View more

Hey! @Rosie97 welcome to reach out! Some people on here will give some helpful hints / tips to help you cope with what's happening. All you have to do is read them try and see if they work for you and if not comment on here saying it didn't work we will keep try to make thing better. We are all here to help you.   As for the situation on hand from what I can see it seems that maybe you should spend some time apart I know that you might want to get back together but staying together right now when your constantly fighting isn't safe for either of you. Spend some time alone without your partner might make things clearer for the both of you. Then after some time apart remember to sit and talk things out (don't yell as it makes the situation worse). Always be open with how you feel and don't put pressure on yourself to make things work. Take things slow and steady.  Hopefully this helps let me know ! ... View more

hey @keezeik totally normal to feel this way but don't put too much thought into it, the fact that you reached out privately means your a really caring person and is willing to go to that further step just for a friend. Furthermore for your other friend don't think too much into it they do bring it up just explain it to them the truth and it should be fine.  ... View more

Hey @sukidakedo I know this can be a super hard time but if you don't mind me asking to see how your going now and if anything has gotten better. I know that sometimes you need to speak to him and their is no avoiding him but do try to stay away. And also remember you are young you are going to make mistakes and no one should tell you to stop. Mistakes are just the pathway to learning. One day it will all get better. Let me know how your going when you see this  ... View more

Hey @justkeepswimming I know its been a couple of days since you made the post but just wanted to see if anything has happened since. I for one know that if one psych doesn't help than there is always another way out. psych don't get annoyed or anything if you choose to see someone else they are taught to remember that the relationship has to work in order to continue. Also there are plenty of place online where you can talk to people privately and they wont judge you. If you do feel comfortable with your high school counsellor than you can talk to them again they wont judge you everyone has a past. to answer your questions I would say talk to someone you trust it doesn't have to be a psych it can be anyone who you think that can help you. hope to hear from you soon.  ...

lockdowns are hard! but a tip that was told to me was to stick to my original routine i.e. get up get dressed even if your not leaving the house, do everything as per normal that way life still feels like its actually going somewhere. but if this is still too much then start small one task a day and then when your ready move up to two tasks and so on until you are back in the swing of things. take your time things do get better. try finding one good thing in your day whether it be that you got out of bed or that you had a healthy breakfast or that you attended one class, anything! just keeping trying you have got this!!! ...

making really in depth lists/ tasks always helps me with stress and best feeling is ticking of al the tasks you do. the smaller the task the more easy it is to finish and see all your goals getting ticked off. another thing is to focus on one thing at a time, have a planner on hand so you can see everything is out in front of you it may be overwhelming at first but when you start you cant stop. take breaks 45 min of study 15 min breaks stick to it so you don't loose your rhythm.  ...

the reason why women carry bouquets down the isle when they are going to get married is because way back in the day women could only have showers once a year so they would carry the bouquet to mask their smell. till this day we still carry bouquets but we carry them because they are pretty.  ...

hey @Pyrotechnic this is definitely a hard topic, I struggle with it as well. the one thing I am sure about is it isn't you nor will it ever be. Finding the right friends are hard but try starting small, try finding one friend at a time and there is no need to rush the friendship and dive in head first. Once you get comfortable with one person then slowly start to get closer to them maybe meet their friends. remember it is okay to back away it isn't your fault. try saying hi to at least one person. the biggest tasks are always completed by taking the smallest steps. hope this helps all the best.  ...

hey  jasmine_8 , this can be a really troubling time and I know it can be stressful but if I may give you some tips I would recommend definitely talking to someone you trust and if they can help you that's great, if they don't help you then I would recommend keep trying with other people you trust eventually there will be a way to get some help. stay strong there is always a way.  ...

Hi  justkeepswimming , I can say that I have gone through something similar and some helpful tips that I can give you would be: - remember to surround yourself with people who are going to bring out the best in you and who make you a better person. - sometimes letting go if the hardest part but I was once told that the more you hold on the more worse the rope burn is going to be (hope that makes sense)  - If you still have to see this person then just try to be polite and civil as much as possible to keep things easy and mutual. if they turn their back then let it go but try to be the bigger person and be civil with this person.  - Honestly if you don't find yourself comfortable in any situation never feel guilty for leaving remember that everyone has their own personal limits and should never feel threatened or unhappy. Hope this helps   ... View more

hey @Eden1717, little tip don't know if it will help but try maybe writing all the things you need to do (a to-do list) then try starting by completing the smallest thing on the list that way you can start getting a little bit motivated and maybe the bigger things don't seem as hard. this is just a suggestion don't know if it will help, hope it does though.  ...
