@Kate my teen trauma one is today it changed to mondays12 pm ET
@Kate
Hi Kate! First of all, don't worry, I'm not cupsing in class. I don't have school because of MLK day. I finished my exam week on Friday and was on self-care this weekend. It was pretty uneventful. Today I'll do some homework and then school starts again tomorrow and I have to remember all my senior wear. Seniors dress up when they become second-semester seniors, it's a big deal.
Happy National Hugs Day *hugs* (if you want one)
@CranberryPineapples thats awesome cranberry really hope the big day goes really well for you
ooo self care time hope the break has been rechargeable for you
@CranberryPineapples Hugs, Pineapples! Good luck in school. I hope all is well for you.
@Kate just a hi, leaving a hug for all who want or need one. No need to reply

@crimsonLime6525 Hey there, Lime. Safe hugs if you want them. How's your day going?
@Ayla In a very confusing place right now
@crimsonLime6525 Ii'm sorry to hear that. Would you like to tell us what's going on? We're here for you, Lime. <3
@Ayla its hard to find the words, I know I need to open up and talk about things but at the same time a lot of me is scared to do that. Its not something which comes naturally to me. Kinda just sitting here full of self hatred with tears running down my face. Feel like I deserve to be like this. Will most likely post this and then feel guilty for making anyone read my words and wish I hadnt posted. Im not sure how much of this will make sense to you
@crimsonLime6525
Hey Lime.
I think I can definitely relate to some of what youre saying. I very much understand that feeling of being filled with self hatred and thinking that this is what you deserve, that you deserve to be in pain and perhaps this is just how your life is supposed to be. Not true, of course, but its hard to fight those feelings. Just wanted you to know youre not all alone.
Safe hugs if you want them.
@crimsonLime6525 *hugs*
I like hugs. Safe hugs for anyone who wants one. 🤗
@pioneeringBanana1598 And a hug for you if you'd like one as well!
@Kate
Yes, thank you :-)
