I don't see the point in living anymore. I can't.
I've called helplines but tonight it's just not helped.
I've spent way too much time in hospital over the years and nothings ever helped.
I just can't anymore

So sorry about your Dad's dog @The-red-centaur It doesn't matter that you don't still live with them - that kind of loss is very sad. My parents have loss 2 of their dogs and both of their cats over the last year and it is horrible to go through - so very sorry buddy 
I do hope your assessment today went better than you suspect and that you get into the course you want - fingers crossed for you 🤞

@The-red-centaur Sorry about your dog passing. It is a long time you have known him. Was he buried? I cremated a cat early this year. It is the first time I ever did anything like that, and it was comforting to have him with me, until we were ready to scatter the ashes, I still have a clip of his fur and a pawprint.
You have heap of issues on your plate. I hope you have decent support and get into a course that suits you. If they dont think you will cope with that one, try and find another course or interest. I am a bit over courses so I like to do things in the general community.
Always good to see you around. Just wish life was not so hard.

Thinking of you @The-red-centaur
DO you have any sports, running or dance or physical activities you like?
I know a few people are in choirs for gender diverse people, so they also get an understanding commu nity.
Sometimes intention and activity pushes the thoughts and maybe the voices out ... I have not much experience as a voice hearer. I think you probably also need to do some psychological intervention as well with a good therapist. I have witnessed others struggling with voices since I was little and visited psych hospitals.
My approach is putting myself into high intensity arts ... singing ... and that helps me ... but we are all different.

What was the course?

Sad to say I have had a lot of experiences like that. Feeling tortured in my own skin.
I dont get so freaked out by it now. It was much worse in my 30s Thats not much help to you. Sorry.
Sounds like a great course. Are you interested in science?
