Hi @Bananatime04, I've just been having a look through and can see how hard you're trying to stay positive and get the help you need. I'm just wondering what support services you have at the moment, apart from KHL? ... View more

Hey @redhead, it sounds like the last couple of nights have been tough. :( How are you going today? ... View more

I've been struggling a bit lately. Things have been getting a bit overwhelming, and I've been having unhelpful negative thoughts about not being good enough. It's just hard.   I've got through this before so I know I'm strong enough to get through it again. I know that I am good enough, and I have lots of support. I'm strong and it will get better. ...

Hi @Bananatime04 @scared01 @xXLexi_Lou122Xx,  it was lovely seeing you support one another last night. How are you feeling today @Bananatime04?   Just thought I'd clarify that users can stay on the forums until they are 26, at which time they need to transition to other support services. :) ...

It was fine @Shadow, no need to worry! :)   @letitgo Pretty much spot on. It's so frustrating when it happens. I've been doing a lot better over the last couple of days, which is a relief. ... View more

@Zelda_The_Dyke @Zeldasmile Of course we remember you! I was always impressed by how you always checked in on people when they needed it, and it is so good that you are back on the forums now! Your support to others is really inspiring and you have made so much progress towards your own mental health! I'd love to see some pictures of your cats too! ... View more

@trashconverters Thanks so much for your tips, I know I will find them useful, and I'm sure others will as well.   I guess that I like to have things planned very exactly (e.g. I will catch this particular train, rather than the next one), and if something happens to disrupt that, then that can result in a meltdown (although to be fair, it doesn't usually). I don't know whether I've talked on here about the meltdown I had a while back because I couldn't get a whipper snipper working... I think I need to try and be more mindful of exactly what's happening with my emotions in order to de-escalate the situation, as well as being able to recognise that it's happened, and try and move on rather than dwell on the negativity.   @Shadow I'm really sorry you can relate to the situation, it's so hard isn't it? I have experienced them in public before, although I'm trying to keep my emotions in control until I get to a private space, and then let myself have the meltdown afterwards. It's not going so well, but I guess I will get better with time? At least I hope it will.   The other thing is that I tend to internalise everything, so usually other people aren't affected directly by the meltdown (i.e. I blame myself for the situation, rather than someone else). That's what nearly led to the SH lapse yesterday. So yes, I do agree that this needs to be brought up with professional support. I'll do this in my next psych appointment. ... View more

@trashconverters To tell you the truth I really don't know. I have been diagnosed with autism, but I don't know if this is related to that or not. Now you ask the question, I guess I got really distressed really quickly, and it took a while for me to calm down. Things just didn't work out the way I'd hoped and it spiralled from there... I hope that helps you understand where I'm coming from. ... View more

Hey @redhead, it's really understandable that you feel scared and vulnerable, particularly given what's happened to you over the last couple of weeks.   The thought of him being let out must be terrifying. I can hear how hard it is for you to sit with these emotions and thoughts. Do you have any way of distracting yourself? I also think now might be a good time to contact 1800RESPECT about these thoughts for some more tailored support. What do you think? ... View more
