The Swansong.

We are only responsible for our own actions when we have mental capacity.

I through a bowl of food across the room at my mams not long ago. I cried and cleaned it up best I could and next morning got got my carer to clean the rest.

But that's cos my mam struggles to care for me too. She wasn't very nice for a moment and it distressed me cos I'm going through a lot.

I don't blame me or my mam for what happened. I blame the government for leaving us to struggle.

Sometimes even having hope in itself hurts so bad that we turn away from it, scares that we will end up disappointed and hurt again.

I think maybe u might feel numb
like derealisation or disassociation type thing. If u do then that is how the body protects itself.

Sometimes we shut off our feelings in order to cope. It's survival.

I don't know if it helps. If it hurts then I don't for it to.

But I'm 28 and I don't have a partner either. And I see others with their children,,giving birth, getting married and it makes me happy for them but also sad that I am missing out.

I think that you would need to understand that it wasnt ur fault and to try to forgive yourself.

No one is perfect and no one will ever be perfect. We r the same as each other

Legion. My ex fiance neglected me and I almost died (I'm severely disabled) I resented him for a very long time. But I don't anymore. I've come to understand that his mental health was so bad that I can't blame him anymore. It wasn't his fault. I forgive him.

Sometimes people just don't know how to cope with what they're going through.

Sometimes they just don't know what to do so they may turn a blind eye. Sometimes they care but don't have the ability to deal with it at the time.

Your mental health struggles are not your fault. It's not your fault that u couldn't be there for that person.

The same as it wasn't my fault that my physiological health almost killed me and my fiance was suicidal and I couldn't be there for him as much as I wanted to. I was incapable of caring for myself so couldn't care for others. I jad to put myself first in order to survive.

Sometimes these things happen but they don't make us bad people. We are just trying to survive in a difficult world.

U don't need to change how u look. U need to embrace it and find self love for yourself for who you are.

There will ALWAYS be someone out there who will put u down or judge u. It's hurts and awful. But we have to learn and understand that it's OK to be ourselves.

It's hard work! I'm still trying myself too.

But why would we want to be like those hurtful people? We don't go round hurting people.
