New here

Hi @Annniiieee welcome to the forums, I'm so glad you found this space. It can be tough to open up about our struggles, and there's nothing 'stupid' about struggling and needing to release things, whether it's through tears, talking to a friend, or joining a space like this one. You deserve to have that space to be not okay, and still feel heard and accepted through it all.

I hope you find what you're looking for here, and of course please feel free to check out our Shoulder-to-Shoulder space to connect with others who've served/are serving as well 😊

Hi @Annniiieee just wanted to reach out and welcome you to the community.im usually on the conversation thread called Nightshift or tabuluga or sounds like ….

I hope you are feeling a little more relaxed.
@Jynx : there is nothing bad about struggling, and you deserve a space to be not okay. Keeping everything bottled up and trying to convince yourself you're fine is exhausting,

when I met my latest Carer to sit with me and make earrings ( !!!)

I noticed when she came to be interviewed her face changed and she looked vulnerable and I thought this is the lady for me because this is exactly how I feel all the time …..

Your brave to open up like this, even anonymously.
You don't have to just get over it on your own.

thankyou for writing it we are a welcoming bunch and we get what your feeling because most of us are working at tools and tips on getting through ourselves

Good morning @Annniiieee and welcome here,

I concur with @PeppyPatti

You are not stupid, you are suffering from an illness that many of us don't understand or have the power to defeat.

Please continue to reach out.

I know it sounds cliche, but you are not alone and must trust your own self who is telling you that now is the time to seek support.

It's wonderful to meet you here as I've found that this is a very safe place with guidance and links to valuable support avenues.

Go gently ✨️
