RULES
While we're here to provide support and comfort, not everything you need support for
may be suitable for posting on Chickensmoothie

• Family friendly, kid friendly.
  Suicide and self-harm (in any form, including substance misuse, food abstention, physical infliction etc.) are about as serious as it can get and because of this, Chickensmoothie isn't the place for this sort of discussion. Please contact an adult, friend, help agency, or mental health forum for support on these issues. Similarly, please avoid discussing topics on illegal drug consumption, sex, abuse or anything else we've considered to be inappropriate.
  
• Naming and shaming; anonymous and hatin'
  While you might not get along with everyone on Chickensmoothie, this is not a place to discuss on site incidents involving other users. This is how gossip and witch-hunts begin and nobody wants that. Please, keep other users out of your posts.
  
• Private messaging rules
  If your problem is personal, it is fine to ask for people to PM you, but this should not be used as a way to get around the rules for discussing self harm/etc.
  
• Mini modding? Mini no-no's.
  See something breaking a rule? Please don't post about it, just report it to staff.
  
• New threads
  While we always want people to have a safe space to share their issues and get support, this thread may only be remade by staff. Unfortunately the nature of people's problems can require staff attention, so it's best we have a member close at hand to monitor what's posted.
  
  
  If you have a problem with a post in this topic, report it to staff immediately.
  
  
  Everyone is welcome here to talk about anything they need comforting about, as long as it does not break the rules of this thread or CS rules. Just because your problem may be worse than someone else's does not mean that they have a lesser right than you to post here their issue. Have a problem with someone else's problem? Keep it to yourself. Everyone gets upset over certain things, and no matter that thing, they have the right to rant/ask for help about it.

good to see a new thread ;w;

lately, my whole family has been getting strep, but my little
brother got the flu and strep. it makes me really wary for him
because for somereason the death count for flu has been growing.
it makes me nervous, and i just hope he is okay,,,,

[momincharge]

good but sad to see another new thread. sorry for ranting already.

i don't understand what makes you think that i don't have feelings.
i'm a human being, not a damn robot.
i can hear you say about me.

i know i'm an idiot. i know i'm mental. i know i'm pathetic.
i know i spam. i know i blow people off. i know i'm annoying.
just stop, please-

also can y'all stop mentioning all my disorders?
hearing loss, depression, social & normal anxiety, and adhd isn't much. just leave it alone.

[eat kids]

why can't I smile? nothing makes me happy anymore
I feel like a lost cause, already condemned by this evil world
it's almost as if I have lost my emotions
I haven't laughed in quite sometime, neither have a cried in a while
I'm just so depressed and I hate this world
my parents want me to be something I'm not
I want to be myself, but I don't know who myself Is
I don't even really know what I like anymore
everything used to be so clear when I was a child, but
it isn't anymore
I am alone
my parents are too busy for me
my sisters are no longer interested in me
I have no friends
I am alone in this big horrible world

unfortunately, it is growing. but that is mainly for people with weaker immune systems and aren't getting the proper treatment! my best advise is to just keep him home from school and don't make him do too much. obviously i'm not a doctor and this isn't medical advice ("we strictly forbid any form of medical advice to be given on CS. ") but just until he gets seen by a doc! i hope he feels better soon, along with your family ♡

exactly, you're not a robot. and ignore them for mentioning your disorders, they are yours to talk about, not them. ask them politely to stop because it's not fair they talk about something that isn't theirs to gossip about. you aren't an idiot,
mental or pathetic and if anyone is discreetly talking about you on the forums make sure to report it, it's against cs rules. good luck ♡

i think why so many younger people suffer with mental illnesses is due to the fact childhood is such a 'breeze'.
we don't have a care in the world; we gladly run around and wear the funkiest clothes and sing and dance and just do anything that we are up to doing. when we hit those teenage years, all of a sudden society has these expectations, so it's really not shocking that people don't feel happy anymore. i hated becoming a teen because reality became.. well.. reality. and although physically you may feel alone, you aren't. you aren't the only one feeling like this and you definitely don't have to go through this alone.

i know it sounds like a drag and a bore but find a new hobby; i find baking such a lovely, therapeutic thing (and if you make a cake with a cookie base, take your frustration out on those biscuit crumbs!). make pottery. maybe volunteer for a local charity shop in your community! it feels great giving back to the world. i hope you feel better soon, i really do; you are such a lovely and kind member you do not deserve to feel down. good luck ♡

i cant even articulate my thoughts
im so tired
im so upset
im so drained
i should genuinely just isolate myself from everything and everyone
it would make everyone happier, honestly.
its not like many of my friends even talk to me
im just here
the background friend

hey, why not isolate yourself?

i mean, not for days and days. just one day. one. it will help you relax and calm down and breath and maybe appreciate the things in life. you can have a you day. have a you day to take your time and focus on you; your physical and mental health. and honestly, you aren't the background friend. in this community you are so lovely, and i know we are all just pixels and text on a screen but we are all here for you. every single one of us. and you're around on so many forums, and no one would be happier if you just 'disappeared' either. you do so much, both on and off chicken smoothie. it's the people you least expect; a neighbour or that one kid in the back of the class. someone that isn't brave enough to start a conversation and family and pets if you have any.
if you just disappeared and isolated yourself, the world really wouldn't feel the same. if you ever need a friend, my inbox is ALWAYS open. good luck ♡

[gravestones]

just gonna quietly mark~
if anyone needs to talk my pm's are open <3

--------

well, i guess i am worried about something...
i'm starting a new medication today. it's in the same family as the other one i was on just..
it's still kinda scary and just hhh.

[Dellixy]

I feel really bad at the moment; could I have a hug?

*huggo*

[minizerkah]

im actually so stressed, annoyed and sad
why do people keep basically acting like im this all happy person that has no issues
just because i act happy at school doesnt mean im a happy person
i just act happy and like an attention seeker because i never even had friends when i was younger so all of that is only showing up now
still it doesnt mean i have no issues
paranoia, stress, anxiety, health, depression
jeez
im a mess
