...See more I'm so grateful for my friends, they have had me move in for the summer, ive been super supportive and they have also been. However i feel like im a burden and today is a bad day for myself. My friend has gone to meet up with her other friend and has been gone for 3 hours, leaving me on my own. I feel like i shouldnt be here for when she gets back. I'm an emotional rollercoaster and i feel all the people i normally speak to, i cant anymore because they are busy and dont answer. Who can i speak to when you get that way? i struggle as i dont have anyone to turn too.... I would normally do my two friends, but one is super busy and the other is busy too....

...See more I've fallen down the anxiety & depression route again. Everything is causing my anxiety to flare up and thats now caused things to fall back into bad habits etc I know what the trigger was and its caused a huge ripple effect on my life at the moment. And im stuck.... I havent SH for over a year, but last Wednesday was the worst day and i did turn too it. I havent since that Wednesday but have thought about it....How do i bring it up with a friend? how do i ask her to give me things to distract me from SH again, to keep me busy? Odd as it may, but shes my only support network that knows about how bad ive fallen recently (and i only want her to know,plus shes coming to the doctors with me in a few weeks time) but how can i bring it up and ask her for distractions and help?

...See more My friend just cancelled plans that Im dressed and ready for! It felt the biggest kick in the teeth ever! But her son has bad eyes and her children dont want to go out. So would it awful if I sent this message? Right I have to sort out my kitchen because of measurements but If you fancy the company the company today Id happily come up to just sit there and be in your company and even help you clean or something since I have nothing else planned? Lol now does that sound okay to send to her? Or does it look awful? I want to go up there, I need her company today because Im not brilliant, but I dont now how to say I want to come up without getting the biggest rejection ever and feeling worse than I am at the moment. any ideas?
