I don’t know what to do… I’m being assaulted from all sides… my safe haven is causing me to have panic attacks… I can’t look at myself in the mirror without a shirt on… I was nearly forced to come out to my parents by someone… I’m afraid for a friend who just blocked me in every way that I can communicate with her… I’m freaking out right now… this feels like a cry for attention, but I don’t know how else to voice it… please, I just need someone to talk to… ANYONE…

This place is hit and miss for real time response and we are not mental pro’s but hey I am here right now. What happened top your safe haven?
Hi
Hello.
My safe haven started to apply pressure to me. I started to realize that I didn’t practice what I preached, and it freaked me out. Then I started to realize that ultimately I couldn’t help anyone… I was just some stranger on the internet…. Thank you for reaching out.
It is huge that you want to help others even with all your own stuff going on. That says a lot!
It’s one of the few things that brings me true joy that lasts… I do it to help myself as well as to help others… but I feel powerless.
I have noticed that helping others others ends up helping me too. A feeling of powerlessness is awful. Would you be ok with telling a bit more about that?
Some people on the internet are in a ton of pain and can say some pretty rough stuff to us even though we mean to help.
” I can’t look at myself in the mirror without a shirt on…” May I ask why?
I hate my body… and hate most things about it… I can’t run without looking like a cow… I can’t wear anything tight…
I know that describes a lot of us. Me certainly.
It is night night time here but I will plan to look at this conversation again tomorrow.
Okay… Thank you…
I myself need help. I have no one to talk to aside from my parents and girlfriend and the occasional neighbor who is rarely at home. Maybe we can help each other.
Of course. What do you want to talk about? I’m here to listen, and will reply as soon as possible. You aren’t alone in whatever you’re dealing with.
