"yeah he's this guy i met thru my friends family. & we almost dated but then he ghosted me & i think he's still on & off w his ex. he plays w my feelings bc i saw him yesterday for the first time in over a month & he acted like we were still talking & everything & it was weird. so i'm not sure if o should move on or keep hoping he'll choose me"
"I have a math test tomorrow and that's the only class holding me back from my 4.0 and if I don't do good I'll lose it"
"My boyfriend broke up with me"
"well, the overbearing feeling that everyone around is making you feel like you aren't good enough, like you're not deserving of the same kind of love if you're different"
"How do you get rid of a sore throat?"
"Okay so uh I've been thinking a lot about suicide recently, about how there isn't really any point to doing anything because you're just surviving to be ruled by someone else - I made a suicide poem and like know how I would do it and where and what I would dress in but I know I won't do it if that makes any sense? Idk what to feel"
"I'll try to gain the courage to talk to someone irl, if not I'll come back to talk to you- it's easy to release over text honestly 😅"
"Wowwww thats so cool!"
"Should I get help if I feel anxious most of the time?"
"0 - I’m super sad. What do you do if nobody likes you?"
"You're welcome! 😉 But thanks to you too 😁"
"Idk, family life has gotten a little better for him, but his sisters make him feel worthless, and when his parents get after him, they yell at him so much, he feels like cutting. I always manage to make his feel better, but, I really just don't like his mom the most. She manipulates him to fo what she wants, and it just breaks him"
"yeah totally! thanks for your help (:"
"I'm dealing with the suicide of a family member- how do I cope?"
"I have 3 F's and I'm super stressed because I'm normally a straight A student"
"That’s good, I’ll try to do that today with my friends."
"I like that, I think that’s a good point, thank you for your input"
"That's a good thought, everyone has something to contribute, sometimes it's just hard to see my part when others seem to have so much more to contribute than I do, I appreciate your help, this program is a really great idea"
"“Thats a good idea! Ive never tried that. Usually each day I just get a 1-2 hour nap...Alright i will definitely have to! Thank you so much”"
"Thank you so much for listening. Glad I could make your day. I dont feel comfortable talking about this with people. I am just more private of a person I suppose."
"Yes you too!! Thanks for helping me feel better"
"I get bullied a lot"
"I’ll give that a try, I appreciate the words of advice, they’re quite comforting."
"Lately I've started liking this guy in my friend group and he's really nice and everyone I know loves him but my best friend and it's been making me feel super guilty because she doesn't like being around him. I'm not really sure what to do about it though because I'm trying really hard to not pressure her and talk about him around her but I still feel like its causing a strain in our friendship"
"That's a very structured way of looking at it, I think that would be a great start"
"Ya those are really awesome tips, thank u so much! Ima screenshot it so I don't forget - I appreciate your help, it's really nice to have someone to talk to 😅"
"That's a good idea thanks"
"I Don't know yesterday and today I just Felt sad when I woke up."
"Okay, thank you🤎"
"I don't feel an intimate connection to anyone in my life and being in the general vicinity of people gives me extreme anxiety."
