Hey @xXLexi_Lou122Xx, that's good to hear that you're still finding us helpful! The reason why I asked whether you still found us helpful in the first place is to make sure that you're still getting the support you need (should you need it) when helplines are not helpful for you :) ... View more

Hey @xXLexi_Lou122Xx, starting school without knowing anyone can be super daunting, right? (Also can't believe school starts again next week, ahhh! Why does it have to be so soon???) I was wondering if you still keep in touch with your friends from your previous school? Maybe you can contact them to help ease the nerves about starting school? Also, you've mentioned before that you don't find helplines to be helpful, am I right? I wonder if you still find us a helpful as a forum to you? Sending hugs as always <3 ... View more

Hey @Tay100, I just saw your post too! And thank you so much for providing me those links - I will definitely check them out :) ... View more

Hi @Bre-RO and @Janine-RO, Thank you both so much for your suggestions! I will definitely consider visiting some of the towns affected by the fires once it’s safe to do so to lend some of my support to them :) I didn’t know Turia Pitt started a campaign to help local businesses that are affected by the fires! I admire her a lot and I think she’s such an inspiration. This campaign gives me one more reason to love her even more :). I visited the Instagram page you gave me the link to @Janine-RO and I think it’s such a great idea that the page provided links on the online website of some retailers so you can buy their goods online! Anyway, I think it’s so great to see so many people in Australia (and outside of Australia!) rattling their support to those affected. I’ve been trying to pay more attention to the positive/happy posts so I don’t get as distressed. I agree with you both on how there’s so, so many people lending in their support. It really is heartwarming to see :) ... View more

Hey guys, I can’t believe that the bushfires are still going on to no end :(. The thing is, hearing about the bushfires has got me pretty distressed :(. Fortunately, I am not in bushfire-affected area, nor do have any friends/family who are, but I’m still feeling really down about it :(. I really want to do something to help those affected. I’ve donated to several causes here and there, but there’s only so much I can donate. Therefore, is there anything else I can do to help those who are affected that doesn’t necessarily involve donating money? Thanks in advance :) ... View more

That’s awesome that you’re recognising your own boundaries @statuscaring! Yay you! :D ... View more

Hello @Tiny_leaf, I also echo what @xXLexi_Lou122Xx wrote in their previous post - periods suck! Also, that must be really annoying that your parents are arguing over something stupid again :(. Here also if you want to talk :) ... View more

Hey @Bananatime04, your post made my year! :D (even though it's only the first day, but still :p). I agree with @Tay100, you're such a valuable contributor to this community!!! :D   That's really sad to hear that you probably won't be able to log onto the forums for the next 3 months :(. Do you have any other supports besides ReachOut you could reach out during that time? Otherwise, you could always stalk around the forums without logging in, explore articles on the ReachOut website here, or download our apps, "WorryTime" and "Breathe" to fill that empty RO void. I found "Breathe" in particular really helpful when I have troubles breathing normally during anxiety attacks)   Anyway, thanks again for this thread, and if you do end up not being able to log on for the next 3 months, see you in 3 months then :) ...

Heya @Tay10! I'm glad you've stumbled upon this thread - even though it is a bit late - better late than never I suppose! Haha :p. That's interesting to know that you've never heard of self positivity before! Anyway, to answer your questions: What does self positivity look like? Man, that is a difficult question! I think that there is no right or wrong answer to this question - the definition of self positivity to me is looking after yourself and always knowing there's a positive side to all of us. How does it differ to self-care? Self-care is all about taking care of yourself, whereas self-positivity is all about seeing the positive things about yourself - the great things that make up who your are! Both terms are eerily similar and so it can be confusing finding how to differentiate between the two! ... View more
