Hi all,

Thank you so much for the kind, uplifting replies.

I am having a difficult time. I did a medical withdrawal from university and now I'm really struggling with loneliness, among other things. My heart aches. My teddy bears say hi and I feel little. Really little - so little I don't want to engage with the world anymore.

Everyday I am reminded of my abusers and what they did. It shatters my heart and I want to die sometimes. So much energy just to stay alive and survive. I want to live. To have a girlfriend and be happy and comfortable.

My teddy bears send warm snuggly cuddles.
