Hi so here we are

I'm 30

My hair

The dark bit is the purple

Better picture

Fyi I wasn't actually attending school when I I'd it!! Love the thought that it could've been between lessons
It was actually the perfect place for me & my bf to go to drink & shag. Could get a bit chilly in winter, admittedly, but we coped.
Ah, happy days. (Thank goodness there was no cctv then!)

Hello folks,
Many years ago we had a MN nighttime bar for folks to hang around in, lots of rum drinking took place. there was a daytime tea shop too, wasn't for me it was Alcohol free.
I have bipolar and a range of health issues, my young adults have autism.
I get very lonely when I'm down as I don't go out,spend a lot of time alone, which doesn't really help lift my spirits. Not many people know about my mental health issues, I just shut myself away and wish time away until feel better.
It's great on here it doesn't matter if I'm wearing Pjs and have unbrushed hair.

It's hard to get a hair picture, but it's purple with blonde highlights and usually curly

Latex your hair is amazing, I'm genuinely envious of the colour!

I didn't go to A&E in the end, I decided that I would go shopping and send soppy messages to a friend and did some mindfulness. DC are with their dad now and DS1 has text me non stop telling me he loves me. A

Haha the first time I was drunk was the millennium. I was 14 and got carried away

Welcolme duff,

latex of course we missed you, you are our founder! Take it easy on the I don't drink, prefer to take my callories in form! Councellor thinks my urges to self harm are my alternative to alcohol

wolfie great news about the car.

I'm wide awake, but a hell of a lot better than last night. Decided to ask GP for a sick note tommorrow. Realised just how poorly I actually am need to focus on getting my head straight.

Welcome Klapt PJs are a must, especially as it's been so cold recently

Anxious it makes sense as since I've found wine I've stopped harming, hmmm.

It's good that you're realising you need time Carer, it's a huge step

Yes anxious you must be your priority. You can get better.
Pink hoped the mindfulness helped.
Latex love your hair
Klapt. Shhhh I love my PJs!!

I used to harm a lot, I'd drop heavy stuff on my hands to make it look like an accident and scratch my arm so much it looked like a burn that I could blame on being silly at work.

Welcome Klaptout, love your name!
I think we all have a lot in common, some of us with physical as well as MH issues, you're definitely in the right place. I think keeping quiet about both is way too common, we certainly don't need to on here.
Incidentally, I think your hair looks gorgeous tonight, only 2nd to Latex in colour, too!
Can we have cake for now, tea too (no booze for The Purple Haired One, she's had too much already) & please put aside a jolly large rum for me, for later? Thanks a bunch.

I would love it if we could all stick together long term. You lot are amazing

pink glad you are feeling a bit better, make sure you stay safe a&e will always be there if you need it. How about looking up crisis team number and saving it in your phone, then its there is you ever need it. I've got in in mine, attmitedly incase DH has a crisis rather than me, but its there all the same.

If I went as far as a&e I'd be scared to loose my children. Even my cbt lady disappeared I think I'm a lost cause and scare people off

And by the way you lot are now Wrists bitches that is our name

klaptout welcome, sorry missed you pist my concentration is shocking, thats what made me realise how bad I was at work, couldn't work out how to use a computer programme I use everyday. Decided I shouldn't drive for a bit

latex sounds like me, making it look accidental, been a big step admitting it to myself and asking for help. Yes what a lovely group of people hope we stick together too.

You are not a lost cause. None of us are. If we had a bad day yesterday (or week, month or year!) it can be better tomorrow.
Bitch am I latex? We've clearly met!

Sorry

Missed your pissed

Well done for talking so openly on here about self harming. I totally understand the frustration & anger & depression that can cause it - I used to stop eating when at Uni, no one else knew but me as life was so full-on then.
Confession - I wanted to cut myself yesterday, to feel the release as I saw blood. Thankfully that desire only lasted a minute or two, I knew I couldn't get away with it (Eagle eyed DCs!) so am fighting to get through this phase. I think it's a combination of fatigue, pmt & anxiety / depression at the mo.
Anyway, to anyone who has beaten self harm - very well done indeed, please cherish your own body in all its weird wonderfulness!!

Anxious. Concentration sucks here too.
Don't self harm but scratch eczema and pick at sore spots. Gross I know! Chew round my nails and sabotage myself by eating and drinking what I shouldn't. Oops. At some point I will stop that. Some weeks it's better than others.
