fg, do u have an emergency number, that u can call like the crisis team?

Nope, no crisis team. They aren't for self-harming, only serious suicial urges.

That's how I feel. I'm so different from everyone at hunts.mind. I like different things. They are into clubbing and partying, drinking etc. I'm into philosophy, reading, writing, drawing etc. The only thing we do have in common are that we all have mental health problems, but even then we are different because we have different types of mental health problems. Maybe I'm just being silly but I just can't shrug off that feeling of not belonging.

Hi all, sorry so many having a tough time, you are all :A

I never feel that I fit in especially with people I don't know.

I am having trouble sleeping at the moment, I do take st's but this hot weather is making it hard to breathe ( I am asthmatic).

So as most of us are having a bad day please accept a nice cold glass of wine with a handful of those lovely smarties.

Tiffy can sort me out later :eek: .

fg have you thought about chatting to the samaratens?

LM I love your pics great talent :cool:

hugs to all that need them

Hair fairydawn.

Thanks very much hun.

Which STs are you on? I was prescribed Zopiclone for a week about two years ago. It didn't do anything for me. I think I have a very high tolerance for pills.lol.
I have trouble sleeping too, and it's horrible. It's part of the reason I'm exhausted all the time. I've tried hot chocolate, warm milk, reading a boring book (trouble with that is I find a majority of books interesting.lol.), tried no caffeine, tried lavender on my pillow etc, and when I do finally manage to go to sleep I wake up after having nightmares. I swear my head is out to get me.lol. If you have any tips, I'd be grateful.

Many hugs for you hun.

Does anyone here ever feel like they don't belong somewhere?

I have friends at hunts.mind but sometimes it feels like I don't belong there. I'm not sure why I feel like that, and I don't feel like it all the time. Just sometimes I feel like I don't fit in there.
I'm probably just being stupid. I don't feel well at all today. I woke up not wanting to go to the drop in but I went anyway (doctors orders). My day was okay, but I don't feel okay in myself today. I feel stupid and really down, and from reading back over the last couple of pages of this thread, it seems that a lot of us are feeling low at the moment. I can't really do anything from here, and that makes me sad, becuse I want to cheer you all up so much. All I can do is offer an ear, an opened heart and virtual hugs. I just want to let you all know that I consider you all friends and you are all lovely, kind hearted people, and I am so glad to have met you all. [[hugs]]

Yes I feel I don't belong anywhere. I was moved around a lot as a child, so could never really make any close friends. I can't seem to settle and the thought of buying a place and settling down makes me feel panicky.

I am back in the area, not the town where I was bought up and don't feel I belong. I felt I didn't belong in Scotland. I have got used to being alone tbh.

I also echo what you say about being there for you all too:)

I'm lucky that I wasn't moved around too much (with the exception of a few foster homes) but I did go to a school 45 minutes drive away from home, although I know that isn't the same but I can understand somewhat, as I wasn't allowed around anyone's houses and they weren't allowed around mine because of the distance so they were only really just school friends. It must have been hard having to move a lot, especially if you were only just settled and then you were up and moving again. [[hugs]]

I have a friend called Nicki, and we are so alike personality wise it's scary. But when we are together or when I'm talking to her I feel like I belong then because I feel like she understands me. When she is at the drop in I feel better because she doesn't feel she belongs either so we are just in a corner chatting together. But when she isn't three I feel like I'm the odd one out.

I understand what you mean about being used to being alone. I feel like that. Most of my days I do spend alone, and to be honest, I like being alone most of the time as I don't have to please anyone else and I can do what I like. Sometimes I really don't want to go to hunts.mind but I do because I am a "good girl" and obey the doctor.lol. and because I hope that Nikki is there as she keeps that little part of me that hasn't gone crazy sane.

Whenever I write something, it always turns into an essay. I'm sorry. Sometimes I get carried away.lol. [[hugs]]
