Hiya,

Im new to all of this. I need some advice im feeling really low atm, my boyfriend is in remand and looking at 3years max in prison. Im from the uk so he gets half of that for good behaviour and 1/3 off that for pleading guilty. I feel sick all the time, very lost. My world has flipped upside down i feel as if i have no-one to talk to.

Its just such a struggle. Its funny how you can feel so alone in such a crowded place. Im sick of feeling this way.

I know what you mean but you will be ok! Take it one day at a time or a minute at a time. Your boyfriend will be ok in prison so dont worry about that. Keep writing to him see him if you can and talk to him on the phone when you can.
