  1. What can I say, but hey, you're welcome?

  2. If you're anxious or dissociating, try searching for physics toys on youtube. Your mileage may vary, but for me they get my brain proper focused on the confusion at hand and before long I'm giggling at how bloody clever they are

  3. New, and with good taste in video games, I assume You're in a decent place. I'm sorry you were hurt so young, but if you've found your way here you'er reaching out, and that means getting back on your feet, you're on the right path. Namaste

      It's cathartic, I'm just tired of it now. In the week I've been away I've become vegan and ... well let's just say the world's more full of injustice than from just abusers of people. Then there's Chester's suicide, ... basically nothing has changed except I can't keep a stiff upper lip anymore. #badatbeingBritish

  5. Burned out to a crisp, in bits on the floor, a sad moustache lying in a puddle of done. Email me when chat's back, I'm going away til I come back.

      Dante, we all have limits and need a break now and again. Please be gentle with yourself and be sure to step up your self-care. safe huggs, if okay, :hug::bubble:

  6. In 1997, 39 people in the UK found themselves in hospital with tea-cosy-related injuries.

      I feel the vast majority of these people are more then likely related to me in someway. When I was 7 I did insist on wearing a tea cosy as a hat for an entire winter. However I did not injure myself whilst wearing said attire :roflmao:

      "Never trust anyone who, when left alone with a tea cosy, doesn't try it on." I forget who said it but it's up there with singing in the shower, I find it holds absolutely true xD

  7. You already started healing when you made the decision to reach out It'll be an ongoing thing from here. The journey tends to be messy, but you've got a few hundred regular members on your side to help you through it.
  8. Wilkommen, bienvenue, velcome. And ahoy, for good measure ^_^
  9. You have cats and bikes in your life and you need help on top of that? Like there's anything better we could offer than that xD Nobody's good at reaching out really until they practice for a while, it's a good step that you've started now, I know you'll get some good support here. And don't mind my being flippant, humour is just how I cope, I don't mean anything by it ^_^ Nice to meetcha.
  10. When the instructions say to pour the oil in while the blender's going, don't listen, it's a heinous lie :P But yay, homemade vegan mayonnaise :)

      I used sunflower oil, soya milk, sprinkling of salt, and white wine vinegar. I threw in a spring onion for good measure :P

  11. I'm super depressed today so doing the only thing I can: picking fights with Donald Trump on Twitter ^_^

      sorry you are feeling depressed,  hope you are back to your amusing/ funny self soon.

       glad that you are having digs at Humpty Trumpty he cannot take any kind of criticism, hopefully he will block you :P freedom of speech I think he is under the impression it only applies  to himself and people that agree with him

      certainly not women , or any minority group, or the press.

      It'd be a shame in a way, the dude's comedy gold in tweet form. Still scary as hell as a president, but as a twitter numpty, he's right up there with James Blunt, if only for laughs but not wit :P The existential crisis, alas, continues with force. Back to ideation instead of counting sheep, but it's not intent, I'm still safe and stuff, worry not for old Dante :) I'm sure it'll pass, but will take one of me acute anxiety thingers in case it helps. Thanks for the well wishes, ocean and Star.

      What a productive way to handle depression! LOVE IT

       

  12. You may not forgive them, but it sounds like you're on your way to finding peace about what they did. The fact you'd be ok if they're still out there doing better says a lot more about you than that you might let a bus hit them. It's all good
  13. Entering day 5 of things going pretty great. I could really get used to this lol

      It's got sorted now, mum phoned them, but there were a few minutes of "oh crap" that disrupted my flow of positive. Now yesterday two so called friends make bacon comments on a photo I posted on facebook of a piglet, because I want a pet micropig, which is just disrespectful, and I dreamt one of the dogs died. My winning streak is well and truly done :(

  14. My biggest question is why I put up with it so long. I saw so many red flags but took zero action. I loved her but really.. I was an idiot for hoping it might turn out ok :/
  15. Steampunk therapy should be prescribed on the NHS. Just got in from an annual festival and feeling pretty darn spiffy right now ^_^

      I assume you mean video games, I don't think they are in a hurry to pay for that. Lol maybe.

      @Free2Fly Nope not video games, I went out in the world yesterday, consorted with folks in person and such! Such fun though, steampunk people are awesome :) Dude introduced me to his boyfriend and nobody batted an eyelid, bunch of disabled people there, people were helpful if they dropped their sticks, took into account how being around people might be difficult, helped them find shade from the heat. Overweight people, skinny people, men, women, children... all equal in the eyes of steampunk. It's the only community I've ever known where the outside can be prettied up and stuff, but people only see your soul, it's such a great community to be part of, the best therapy I know.

  16. Reminder: You are allowed to be both a masterpiece and a work in progress, simultaneously.

      Give it another month or two, I don't think the Tories have ever had a lower opinion from the people, I can't go to the city anymore without seeing protests at the statue of Nye Bevan. If they don't leave gracefully there's gonna be a revolution a la the French one, I fear.

      Her days are numbered in no 10  for sure.   hopefully no revolution just a civilised change of leaders or another election that Jeremy can honestly win.

  20. Hi. I'm some words on a screen. If you're seeing this you've just had some love and good vibes and happyness and hugs sent your way. I hope your day didn't suck, or if it's still early, I hope your day doesn't suck. Have yourself a cold drink and know you've got this ^_^

      Cheers everyone for the support. @fallenstar I smoked the last of the packet and decided I didn't wanna do it anymore, it just hit me how stupid and disgusting it is, how much money I must have pissed away by now having been a smoker for I think four years, and it hit me. I've not had any cravings until a couple of days back when suddenly my brain's freaking out coz I'm not smoking :/

      Funny thing is, my previous record is two months. Then I went to a convention thingy where eeeeeeeeeeeveryone was smoking and vaping and I couldn't take it. That convention happens to be coming up in another three weeks or so :P So to beat the previous record I'm really gonna have to get a grip :/

  22. Howdy jsl, welcome. There's a bit of a learning curve but the fact you're making this effort is awesome.
  23. For all my struggles, what takes me away from that is a fact I realised: I know more people who are suicidal than not. I understand completely. If any of you need to talk, need a hug, just need someone to listen while you offload, do feel free to PM me. It breaks my heart that so many people are struggling :(
