comment your colour and feelings xx
Wilson @Chewy Yummypets she has decided to chat to some others about what to do to help and I'm on a list
Chewy Yummypets @Wilson That's so great that you're there to help. 💖
this is very true sometimes peope say just be positive and you won't feel so low and depressed but it’s not that easy just because i might be positive but I’m not gonna be happy all the time it's not as simple as being positive x
Toby ❤️ and velvet❤️ yes that's true great way to word it sometimes people ar school joke like I want to kill myself or I'm so depressed or this is so depressing but it's not like that x
Chewy Yummypets Having pets helps us. Whenever you are sad or depressed, spend some time with your animals. Think bout them and how much they love you 😽
over the weekend I’m going to share how I would explain depression I’m going to share how I would explain all the mental illnesses I have and I’m gonna explain them in ways that you can understand there will be a few different explanations and I want people to really understand what it’s like because if you don’t have it then you can’t really understand it it’s hard to explain because everyone experiences it differently if you have any questions about it message me or comment x
I just wanna say if you do struggle with depression suicidal thoughts and self harm please message me comment post find someone to talk to because it it’s really hard to do it on your own I am getting help with my problems I’ve seen the doctors been to the hospital I’m not okay and I know that if you want me to post more about ways to stop self harm I can I haven’t stopped but these things might work for you that don’t work for other people it’s really hard when you live and you dint want to x
my depression has got a lot worse my therapist quit on me people found out about my self harming and I attempted suicide my brain has just been on a constant loop not knowing what the point of life is i’m not going to share how I see life because I don’t want others to fall into the same path I’m going down if I share it it might make other people think the same way which is not what I want I’ve been questioning everything when you just die in the end what’s the point why not speed up x
Chewy Yummypets Try not to question things and try to live. That's what I tell myself all the time. I am really sorry that you were feeling that way 💚
Chewy Yummypets How are you feeling at the moment? Are you okay? Is it still this bad? Live in the moment, find the beauty in life 😽😽😽
this last month has been hell it’s been so hard and everything sort of just got worse I don’t know I’m sharing this but I feel like it’s easy to share with with strangers or people that you don’t see every day so I can’t ask you every second are you okay what’s going on people that can’t tell your parents will tell your school when they already know people that can’t spread rumours lie about what’s happening and that’s you guys x i’m going to have to make a few posts but I really wanna share it
wow honestly the most relatable thing you guys all learn more about why this quote means so much to me when I get to share more of my mental health journey x
me everyday x
Toby ❤️ and velvet❤️ if you can’t read I just tap on the image and it zooms out x
this is how I feel daily x
if only teachers understood this x
this is how I’m going to explain it to you a lot of people tell me be happy breathe calm down chillout take a break it’s not a big deal don’t worry about it it’s not that easy this is a great example of what people say when you’ve got a mental illness x
Toby ❤️ and velvet❤️ sorry guys I know it zoomed im but if you just tap on the image it should say zoom out x
after I’ve just had part of my journey I want you guys to understand what it’s like for me with all my mental health problems x
i wish i would stop doing this I feel like i’m doing something wrong and every time I snap because of my depression or bipolar makes me act hyper what anxiety makes me worried and on edge I need to explain to people and apologise for the way I behave
have a think about this it's true x
this is what I have to go through every day sometimes it can be five in an hour in a normal day it will probably be about 60 panic attacks and then I’ll go to sleep probably have 50 more x my sleep schedule I go to sleep have a panic attack I wake up 🔄
Chewy Yummypets Has anything helped to relieve the anxiety a bit? I've noticed that when I keep my back and chest warm near my heart, it grounds me 😽
.❤️
Toby ❤️ and velvet❤️ @Chewy Yummypets sorry I replied on my other account @Wilson it's also me just so you know x
Chewy Yummypets @Wilson That's understandable ♥ The important thing to is to focus on what makes your happy. For example, I love playing video games and spending time with my cat. When I do this, I think less about my anxiety. I hope that you'll find something. I'm so sorry that you feel like you have no energy 💞
The reason little changes bother me is because I I think if you plan things bad things can’t happen and if it doesn’t go to plan something bad could happen going up with bad things happening all the time means now I try to avoid them at all costs and I never really connect with my emotions and realise that I joke around when I’m really actually upset or joke about things that are sensitive subject so I don’t have to show the emotions I pretend I’m some happy joking around confident person x
I had flashbacks and nightmares of the things that used to happen and I never realised all of my mental health problems until I started seeing a therapist I have never been in the control of my life and I fought for it but never got it that is why I like everything to be in control if it’s not in my control then it’s scary and it’s bad and I will freak out about it like the littlest things like an outfit not fitting and me needing to change my outfit x
i’ve always been anxious person I’ve always worried and stressed out I have been in hospital at a young age due to stress and my childhood was horrific the things that happened verry bad and people are shocked when they find out but I don’t feel comfortable saying them online I had a lot of death and grief in my family so at a young age i knew how It felt to be empty and sad as I was away from the person who made my life hell I was scared of people I struggle to cope with trauma from my past
I struggle with panic disorder anxiety disorder obsessive compulsive disorder depression and bipolar and ptsd they all one way or an other link and I don’t have normal the ocd mine is I need to be in control of everything and if something doesn’t go to plan then I have a meltdown and I can’t control it x
The first part of my mental health story is coming out soon x
hey guys I’m really sorry I haven’t shared my mental health story yet I’ve decided that from tomorrow to next weekend I’m going to try and give as much detail as I possibly can and share my story if you guys are any questions about my story once I’ve posted it and I’m totally open to questions privately or on the team page It might get a bit emotional and I probably won’t do any videos but I definitely will do pictures and things to share my story so it’s more interesting than just words x
have a good weekend x
sleepy x
Câline Bonne sieste
Chewy Yummypets Hi cutie!! 😽

Câline Ok bisous
everyone I just wanted to mention that although coffee and caffeine is delicious and helps with your energy levels if you have anxiety panic disorder or stress they can really impact those mental health problems I don't have caffine or small amounts x
Câline Ok bisous

hey guys lots of stuff happened it’s been a really crazy weekend and a really crazy day and everything is been going on I can’t really say anything I don’t really know all the details but I know that it’s not great and it’s not gonna end well x
hi everyone I’m really sorry I haven’t been sharing my story like I said I would and I haven’t been very active there’s been a lot going on and so it’s been very overwhelming and haven’t really had time to think about how I’m going to start the story and explain what happens and how I’m going to word everything it’s also really hard for me to start from the beginning and basically retell I’m kind of relive that part my life where it wasn’t good I don’t know if I’m ready but I’m gonna try x
Câline If you're not ready it's not a problem. You'll do it later. Big kisses

Toby ❤️ and velvet❤️ @Chewy Yummypets I'm trying hope it was ok to share my story not sure if you have had a look so tell me if you want me to take it down x
Chewy Yummypets It's good to share your story and talk about mental health awareness. There is no need to take anything down ☺️

Câline Big kisses ❤
Chewy Yummypets We are here for the both of you ♥
hey everyone how do you feel right now x
Toby ❤️ and velvet❤️ @Summer hey if you ever want to talk about what's scary and horrible then you can mention it in the comments or you can private message me if you don’t feel comfortable sharing so publicly I’m in school right now and I’m not the pretty girls the popular girls I myself and I have a group of friends who are all similar and together we are just us we don’t have any categories of it into we don’t need to fit into a category we are ourselves and so many people don’t like us for that and that’s totally fine because we just blocked him out of our lives and stick together there are a lot of people who we actually do who actually do like us some of the popular girls even think that we are amazing because we are just ourselves we are not fake and we’re not pretending to be people were not it’s very hard at school when you’re going through mental health issues and all that stuff and trust me I know because that is what I’m going through and it’s really difficult but when you surround yourself with people who can help you it really does make a difference and like I just actually enjoy school now kinder in a way because I’m just confident in who I am and if anyone tries to be mean about any of my friends I will be there I’m confident in I’ve had punched someone at school for telling my friends commit suicide you can rely on to be there for you in difficult times and so all my friends so we all stick together and get on x we are confident in who we are with just try and find and just be confident in yourself and your friends trust me I know the beauty standards and I really felt a lot of pressure it's difficult and used to be insecure about but you know you just have to embrace yourself xx
Summer Thank you , it's lovely to know I have someone I can trust and somone who actually cares . Your school sounds nice. I have 'my best friends/group' it's more the other stuff in school . I will also be here if you need someone to contact . xx
Music is something that really helps me I have AirPods and just plugging in block out all the other noise and listening to really calming relaxing songs really help I think you should make one too it's so helpfully x
Câline Musicien is good for health
something else is fiddling, pinching is something u used to do but now I just fiddle with tangles and also I have this rollable which you massage on different acupuncture points it’s cold and it’s really nice feeling on my skin
Toby ❤️ and velvet❤️ The rollable is a plant pot looking thing i use it on acupuncture points when I’m having a panic attack like my wrist my temples on the side of my head my ribs and my eyes down the bridge of my nose and it’s so cold when I’m really hot it really calms me down because I love the feeling of the cool on my face and also I mine I put essential oils on so I can have the lavender or pepermint essential smelling fragrances on my face personally essential oils on their own do not help me but that isn’t to say they won’t help you but with the rollable they help a lot the feeling of the ball moving it really does ground me and make me feel like I am not detached and I still very much alive and aware of what’s around me x
Câline It's Good for you and I'm happy
Câline
