Open Bereavement - Teens

2 years ago my cousin died. She had severe cerebal palsy which always made her that little bit more special. She couldn't walk or talk but could understand everything we were saying. She died of silent pneumonia on the 15th of June 2007, just after her 16th b.day. I miss her a lot but I know shes happy now. Plus my step-mam died a year ago. She wasn't anything special to me (I hardly knew her) but I feel for my dad because I know he loved her. R.I.P. both of you's xxx

Open Breakups & Divorce

When I was 11 my parents got divorced as a result of my mam having an affair with the next door neighbour. I don't want to make my mam seem bad as it wasn't all her fault but I just woke up one morning and found out my whole life was guna be destroyed. After a while my dad got re-married and stopped visiting and talking to me nd my lil sis. It hurt me a lot coz I stil wanted to have a dad but he wouldn't have anything to do with me. He's just started speaking again as a result of his wife dying.

they were all there for me. apart from my dad that is. He just made it all worse.

Time Somewhat Helpful

Time really is a healer in some ways. Helped me get over my dad...the longer I went without seeing him the easier it was to live with it. And I know I will forgive him in time. What choice do I have right ? He's still my dad and I will never stop loving him. I'll end up forgiving him even if i don't want to.

Open Coming Out

my mam guessed so she knows. I recently told my dad after not speaking to him for 3 and a half years. He took it ok I guess....I can't really be certain though. Anyways, as far as I know my mam, auntie, her bf nd his daughter, my mams friend nd her her husband nd daughters are the only ppl tht know (except my entire school) I'm getting vibes tht my nanna knows and apparantly my other auntie knows but ...??? So I suppose I've half came out. Anyone wants to talk then feel free...I'm happy to help

I can't even choose what and when and if I eat anymore. I'm here if anyone wants to chat x

Open Physical & Emotional Abuse

my mam and my sister and me were sufferers of physical abuse off her ex partner colin. hes out of our lives now but some of the things he done to my mam are still effecting her in lots of ways today. I am also emotionally abused by both of my parents (according to my coulcellor and social services).

Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful

it helps sometimes, but i dnt really talk about the abuse much. But it was my councellor who contacted social services to help my mam get extra support to deal with her problems so she could stop abusing me. as far as my dad goes, he will never change.

Open High School Stress

ok, so now that pretty much my entire school hate me because I'm a lesbian and I have zero friends...school has became a pretty shitty place. Plus, with me bieng in my last year now, I'm in the middle of all of my exams so that just adds a nice little stress bonus onto it all... I found that i cut and also purdge more during school terms...I didn't realise it stressed me out that much but i guess it must do... but...it's my last year like i said..so I only have until june and then I'm free !! :D

Open Panic Attacks

I get them sometimes. Normally when I'm in school but they can happenen any time when I'm stressed about something. I've been told my my councellor that I suffer from social anxiety so this causes quite a lot of my panic attacks. Depending on how stressed I am they can be bad or bearable. Sometimes I Pass out with them but sometimes I can control them. It just depends...I'm here if anyone wants to chat x
