Reading all your thoughts and feelings has always helped me.

We all have different circumstances, I dont know how to word it properly, but all of your lived experiences have given me perspective.

Everyone has a story to tell, and I appreciate reading your thoughts, feelings and even plans.

I want you to know that all of you are special to me in some way. It means nothing, to be honest! (I'm actually nothing myself!) But I really appreciate you posting here, telling us your story and chatting with people.

My date hasn't changed, I'm still on track for a June exit, but I just wanted to say thank you for being here for, well, all of us. As a community we're there for each other, encouraging but not telling people "oh its gonna be fine!" We are raw, we have each other, and to a lot of people that's what we need.

I appreciate you, no matter who you are, where you've come from or what you've done. You've helped me and others in ways no shrink or doctor ever could, because you've lived it.

hehe~ It's really sweet of you to write a thank you note to the whole community like this! ^_^ and yeah, same! :) I'm helped some myself by getting to read about others' troubles too~ :D and then, getting to talk to and get to know them even if you may not see them ever again~ It's nice having friends~ :) even if only for short spurts~
I wish things could get better for you tho~ >_< but alas, they have not~ :( I wish you the best and will pray for you! :)

I felt like people needed to hear it, being ready to CTB is so lonely, and sometimes we just need to hear that even though things suck, its nice to know someone is seeing how you're doing.

What are friends? Haha.

Thank you for your prayers :) I'm grappling with my religious identity but I truly appreciate it.

This is very sweet. Thanks for spreading some honest love and care. Everyone here needs and appreciates some regardless of their situation or plans.
Reading other's stories has also helped me too. I came here convinced I was leaving soon, but after just a couple days of reading interacting now my biggest urge is just to hug everyone in here, if I could. So much pain in so many nice caring people, it breaks me, but I get it, because that's what we share. But god I wished it was only me. It'd take the solitude any day. But since that's just not possible, the next best thing is to be here for each other. And it's a great thing. So thanks 4 that. <3

I think of you too. How have you been?

Only those who are living through the same kind of suffering will truly understand and empathise with what you are going through.
And I truly do.

Been getting increasingly better, especially as I've been resting and most importantly having a break from the welfare system trying to push me for now at least. Weekly therapy has been helping as well, beyond the first few sessions where I felt bad after each session.
Today was hard as well and we just wanted to flee, but at least she knew how to make us get calmer again.
Been retaking hobbies as well. Korean yesterday and today a bit of 3D modelling. Not much atm, but even 25% of my usual is a lot better than 0%. Maybe tomorrow we can continue writing our novel as well, which is always a nice escape of sorts—into our own world.

It's truly a solitary place without people here to talk to. I can talk to my mum until I'm blue in the face, and she gets it, but I cant be as raw with her. I have to save her feelings.

I'm glad you're getting some respite from that bullcrap. Therapy can be a godsend if you're ready for it, but my god is it draining. I'm glad she seems to fit with you as well :)

I'm proud of you for partaking in your hobbies, too. I've not touched anything in over a week due to my anxiety. I seem to prefer to let myself wallow, like I dont deserve to have fun haha.

Yes, its awful when you cant truly express how you feel to others.
The only person I have in my life is my Sister.
She is the only reason I stay alive because I dont want to hurt her by ending my pain forever.
Yet I cant tell her.
