okay ill have to frq you first because I turn them off so no weird people dm me when I vent
Good job
phew, that's a lot @nocturne jay. has it started to become recent for you to now processing what you have gone through? is self-mutilation helping the way you feel inside as in making you happy, is it a gratifying experience? does it help the process of understanding what you have gone through?
i believe degrading yourself is not a recommended thing i'd tell you to follow through because in retrospect, that paedophile was betting on the fact that if you weren't degrading yourself then, you would eventually be degrading yourself now. and i believe that you'll do a way better job knowing that what that person did was vile, rather than believe you're a vile person for experiencing what you did and only knowing what you knew at that time which i'd suggest you not blame yourself for.
he did take advantage of you, and your body is not disgusting but i do understand how you feel. it feels like you want to wash yourself everyday because you feel dirty, it feels like no matter how much times you do wash yourself, the feeling of "dirtiness" will never come off which in result has made you develop sexual shame and sexual identification shame because of this guy taking advantage of you.
he has harmed you in such a way that you have now developed a sense of that harm into a coping mechanism because it is now a carried shame from what you are now deeming shameful and predatory (which is on his side, not on yours. what he did was straight up evil, predatory, and disgusting and those feelings were unfortunately transferred to you.)
in regards to your mother, she is also a vile human being for minimising your experience and calling you an out-right degrading slur. receiving therapy is the best viable option to understanding your emotional experience right now, and also having a professional listen and give advantageous advice in coping.
i'm so very grateful that you're actively looking and going to be receiving help for this, that's an incredibly strong feat to have overcome ❤️
thankyou
I am not good with words right now but thank you
I keep crying on and off
yes, i was reading the chat throughout and saw that. it is great that you're crying, even if it is on and off @nocturne jay
thankd
whenever the memories come up, start to redirect blame onto him because well you don't need to be the bigger person and try to give an understanding to his actions and behaviour towards you, he's wrong, straight up so point the finger at him at all times
its just hard oftentimes
I wanted to be loved
thats all
idk
There are a lot of variants to love. Is it sexual, sensual, affectionate, playful, romantic, platonic? Is it a mix of the two romantic and sexual? Or just platonic? Or is it the others that I've listed? What kind of love do you truly believe you would like? What do you think of (as it pertains to your happiness), as being a true love to you?
I dont think that theres one type of love only I just
i never had a good fanily that would ask me "deep" things and care for how I felt I really wanted a family like in the movies
becausethey seem so happy
I thought if I could find a good father id be happier
I see. That's very tough that you've been dealt with these cards. And I believe to some extent, yes, a good father does contribute to the overall quality of a childs life, but if you've been dealt with your kinds of cards, It's a gradual process, but you start to look at the qualities of older men who are ultimately guiders and not predators, to differentiate an older man who is wise, influential, and an overall great person, you have to attentively look for how he speaks about the women he has experienced in his life, and the women in his life now. If he speaks greatly of the women he has encountered, then he is a great man. You can truly differentiate a bad man from a good man because of their character, you will feel like a man is a creep if he is bad, and you will feel like you're around any other human being if he is good.
I didn't read too much in to detail, but is your father in any way of contact? Is he not a good father? If so, I'd also try to say that having a good father doesn't ultimately define who you would like to be when you grow up and what you can feel, maybe the situation here is the sense of belonging or companionship.
yeah thats probably true
im not good at
reading too well into this these days
I feel ok for now
my head still hurts though im gonna go to sleep lster
4 people listened to me
im really happy
What is PDF ring.
Some kind of document thing?
pedophile ring, I shortened it
sometimes in slang people use "pdf" instead of pedphile
and then after my first experience
I dont know what happenrd
it was like I missed him so bad
it physically hurt that he was gone I kept crying for hours on end
and I was being stupid and
i looked for other men to talk to because I missed the feeling of being cared for by someone
then I met another 19yo man
he'd keep saying sexual things to me and I felt really disgusting everytime but i wanted him to stay around i was scared of losing someonr
im tired today
I agree everything you said except
'"in regards to your mother, she is also a vile human being for minimising your experience and calling you an out-right degrading slur."'
She is not vile. But I guess you (the adult giving brilliant advices with minor mistakes) wouldn't understand why. So I won't explain.
*But kid your mother is not a vile person. Sometimes good people do bad things , its doesn't make them bad. Yes, she should've never used that word for her own child . But sometimes mistakes happen.
Try to have an honest conversation with her and tell her how her words made you feel.
And don't just try once or twice. Sometimes people are in a bad mood so they might not respond appropriately. Try to give her a few chances.
But yes if she still just keeps calling you that for refuses to even listen. Still not a vile person.
But you should try to maintain a little distance with her.*
**Now what God said (leave this part if you don't believe)
I let God speak to you Himself.
Exodus 20:12
Malachi 1:6
Matthew 15:1–9
Ephesians 6:1–2
Romans 1:29–31
1 Timothy 5:4**
- "'you have to attentively look for how he speaks about the women he has experienced in his life, and the women in his life now. If he speaks greatly of the women he has encountered, then he is a great man. You can truly differentiate a bad man from a good man because of their character, you will feel like a man is a creep if he is bad, and you will feel like you're around any other human being if he is good."'
*Yes that maybe true but not in all cases.
If a man is saying bad about the women in his life then
- either they are really bad
- or he is bad and they all are fine.
And same , you cant tell a woman is great by just seeing how she talks about the men in their lives. Same reasons.
What you can do , is see the level of depravity in both men's and women's words. A good man and woman , will not just downright stupe to vulgarity and vile things each and every time they talk.*
"'Is he not a good father? If so, I'd also try to say that having a good father doesn't ultimately define who you would like to be when you grow up and what you can feel, maybe the situation here is the sense of belonging or companionship."'
*Father is the 1st man in the life of a child (both girls and boys) , so a good father absolutely means a lot and does define a child a lot even in ways they may not recognise themselves.
If your father is still around and a good person , you can try reaching him out.
But yeah , if that's not the case . Then work hard to be a great person. Cuz its not impossible but its also not that easy without a good father.*

Apart from this , everything sister said I agree and there's not any advice left to give. So I will not say any personal advice of my own regarding how you deal with that.
thank you
my head really hurts right now so its hard to think of much but I appreciate it
No worries brother/sister.
Put your phone down , lay down for a bit.
Try reading all that tomorrow or any day. No need to rush at all.
Feel free to reach out anytime you need something to any of us.
We all are here for you. You're not alone .
I will pray for you ,brother/sister.
I forgot to shower and eat last night because i was crying too much and it tired me out
this morning I woke up and couldnt find my phone and almost had anxiety again because I try to listen to music and take care of myself in the morning
I have school today still and need to turn in my remote learning papers
tomorrow is my in person therapy appointment i hope I feel better
@twilit copper Greatly appreciated your input. Provided a lot more clarity than I can give in terms of literacy, I’d prefer you not to call me sister as that does make me uncomfortable. I never called OP my brother or sister, as I do not know them and I will never call somebody my sister or brother less they’re routinely in my life.
I can only relay my sympathies rather than correlate my feelings to what they’re experiencing. I believe that if a parent is saying something before thinking, they’re vile by using authority to degrade their children. OP’s mother is vile in context to responding to OP’s vulnerability and willingness to share, and yet was ultimately shamed by her own mother for doing so.
That is the only reason why I believe OP’s mother is vile. OP is still a (clear young person), and doesn’t need to feel like she has to understand or communicate to her mother for the sake of being comprehended her feelings, It is clear just by the degradation of her first vulnerable telling of her experience that her mother will not understand how she feels even if it is communicated. One thing a great individual woman and man can do regardless of who they stand as a person, is validate, comfort, and respect the experience and feelings of someone who is expressing themselves from a traumatic experience. A word that devalues a person in response to what they have experienced, is when I call vile.
I see you have regurgitated my information and made it look a little formal, I did not particularly state that women are not at a fallible mark. And from what I’ve experienced, you absolutely can tell by how a woman’s ethics is by how she speaks about the men in her life, it is the same all around because it deals with the one issue, a lived experience that was not deconstructed and repressed, in result translating into other ways.
Or in consensus, ignorance and apathy.
This is very situation dependant, I try to format my writing to where I can understand it enough to value it in assurance that someone will understand it as well. Even if it comes off as unpolished.
Much love to you and OP.
Yes yes , no worries.
I already knew the vile part will just be
Agree to disagree.
And the rest part too is agree to disagree as well.
Let's leave it at that Mam.
Hope you have nice day ahead.
I tried to sleep
I had a nightmare where I started doing really gross things like those men and everyone hated me
its not real
I don't know why I dreamt that
im very lethargic today
all ive done is wake up in intervals and vent and then get so tired from my thoughts i go back to sleep
Sorry to hear that brother/sister.
Mam hae mostly said everything on how to deal , so there's not much I can say
I have gotten out of bed
I am eating breakfast
my head doesnt hurt that much anymore
after tea I will shower and then breathe in some fresh air from the backyard
my room is too stuffy
thank you everyone that listened to me and said nice things
I hope you find strength to fight your demons. 🫂
thank you I appreciate it
I feel hopeful again, i realized I hadn't taken my meds in a couple days and took them with water. I am gonna reach out to one of my school mentors to check in on me
and ill try to go to school tomorrow because I have people waiting for me there
i will try
it doesnt have to end like this right now
one of my friends is contemplating suicide
I have promised her I will visit her on Sunday so she lives this week
I will visit her every week so she doesnt kill herself
my sister is in an abusive relationship and ive been texting her "how are you" texts everyday
this one adult i know online is stuck with a mentally abusive girlfriend and I try to check in on him when I can despite our 11 hour time difference
I wish no one suffered
no one i love will hurt themselves as long as I am here
people need me
I cannot give up
@nocturne jay Yo sis/bro
Are you okay?
I am so sorry for what you faced man and such things just ruin the person's ability to know what a healthy relationship looks like
🙏 please be strong and I am glad you are helping others
If any help is needed in helping someone do let me know
im ok
I alerted the suicidal friends friend group and called 911 so thats solved
Take care of yourself too! There is alot going in your head.
You are veryy strong person!!
How kind you are!

You are kind soul do not think you are bad because you are not.
If one person is thinking of others well.
They can never be bad.
It was the situation like that you were younger unaware of things.
Was just looking for love pure affection.
It wasn't your fault at alll!
Don't burden your heart!
And take meds on time. Whenever you remember.
Try to talk with your therapist. You don't have to speak everything at once try it slowly. But give them hit.
They are here to help you as well right!?
there is it'll just take a while
ive been going in and out of crisis mode for a few days, i think everything's that has piled up this year is taking a toll
its okay though
That's great thinking, I had dm'ed you to just check in on ya and its so great that you are doing better, have a nice day!
thanksies
ill try to keep it up
im scared to go to school
best of luck!
I believe in her ngl
she got this
she will pull through with hope fr, I can just tell tbh ngl
best of luck anon
you got this
well some more memories
I remember
I made a mind map a long time ago about what it felt like during being groomed into those pedo rings
if i can find it
im not gonna show it but I found it
the core starting point from what I believe my grooming branched out from was my home life neglect and isolation from the outside world at developing ages
this led to a lot of internet addiction/dependency especially social media
and stuff like that
ill end the third memory there
my ears are starting to hurt for wearing these headphones for so long
ill sleep soon
i feel alright
i showered
Good job man
guys ive done 5 goals today since waking up this morning
- morning routine hygiene
- make bed
- clean room
- tidy up workspace
- eat breakfast (usually i only eat lunch/dinner)
is this peak routine management.....
whats left:
laundry
pharmacy
doing college applications
self soothing (coping mechanisms to destress)
and then night routine at the end of my day
5 more 
im alright, thanks for asking
im dreading folding laundry later also my anxiety is acting up becayse im scared of "failing" my day
It’s ok to fail
Everyone does it
A wise man once said
A person who never failed has never tried anything
It happens to me too
Have you tried like drinking like some warm link or cacao
Not coffee
I hope your parents know about this so they can support you. If your parents don't know, then let them know. Don't feel scared about telling them. While it may be hard, at the end of the day it will make you feel relieved.
well i did try to tell my mom once
well actually she found out
i was with an older guy and called me a whore
so ever since ive hid it
i just tell my therapist and counselors
i didnt do laundry yesterday but i started it today
i should go to the pharmacy to order my facewash
i should likely distract myself better
i want to do more instead of wait for someone to interact with me so i think ill figure out what to do
That good
If you want something to distract you I can help with that
You could play a game
Or watch a movie
Nice
i like animanga, games, writing, and drawing
characters and worlds and i practice occasionally
but i havent done that in a bit
its scary
i get anxiety
Ok what about some peaceful drawings
Like a flower field or a movie character
Who is not scary to draw
That’s good
i drew today and yesterday
i went to school on time and im attending all my classes but im having a sudden surge of anxiety so I'm in the school bathroom
Can I see them if that’s ok
its ok im being picked up early
Sure you can dm me
my father consistently makes violent threats on a semi daily basis
he barely goes through with them but its still annoying
Does make the threats to you
im a stupid child
such a fucking stupid child
so stupid
17 and 26
wow
dumbass
absolute dumbass
why
why
why
why did i do this to myself
i should cut myself for this
i should die
i feel numb and empty
there is nothing
i want to sleep and forget everything in the morning
im gonna sleep
and in the morning i will forget everythig
bby I hope you have a wonderful sleep. try listening to calming music 🌸
No you are not
It’s not that someone would think would happen
I am here if you need me
i feel
sick
im shaking i wanna go back to sleep
i miss him
idk why i do
i feel gross at myself
im so sad and feel sick and cold
im scared i feel so scared
i want to forget everything and sleep but i keep replaying it in my head
please
please stop
Hey, you'll be okay
I don't know if you're awake, but people are always here to talk
It might not completely get rid of all the pain, but I feel talking to people about the topic releases some of the stress, no?
Nobody will be able to exactly understand how you feel, but we can always try to help remove some of the weight off your shoulders
Why do you feel bad?
If you don't mind me asking
because he was nice to me and he was my friend
and I really miss him but I feel deeply
ashamef
I can relate to some degree of how you're feeling, love isn't easy
Is there anything you do to drown out the noise in your head?
music maybe
do you have a favorite song?
Sheena ringo songs or calm lofi/ambience
Also, im sorry if im not helping 🙃
I just don't like seeing people upset
youre oki
Is it possible for you to listen to it now?
You were talking about sleep before, it's perfectly normal to sleep with calming music playing
okay I can fo that wait
hm?
I'm sorry i'm a little stupid sometimes and don't understand what people are saying-
do*
ah okii
my music is on
someone told me to excercise and write/draw today to feel better but I dont know if i havr energy
ill try
you dont have to if you dont feel up to it
All we can do is give suggestions on how to feel better
If these are things you enjoy doing, might be worth a try once you get more energy?
luckyyy
do you think my life will be bad because I get groomed a lot
no, i dont think it will be
People will always have ups and downs, and that's okay
its normal
It's up to you how your life turns out, its nobodys choice what happens except you
yeah, that feeling is never a pleasant one-
maybe i won't turn out a failure if I work on myself ot something
I dont know exactly
i know next to nothing about you, but from the brief talk we've had i can tell you're not a failure
im tryinh
I dont see an out to my feelings right now except therapy on Wednesday
i dont know
Sometimes i'm busy, otherwise I'm nearly on discord 24/7
If you ever need a place to rant you can always dm me, or talk to anyone else on this server
okay thanks
np
i want him back i feel really alone
Who do you want back
as creepy as it sounds, you're not alone
There will always be someone there, willing to listen to you
I promise
I don't know how time zones work- 😕
So if i do not respond for the rest of what is your night, i hope you get some good rest
You deserve some peace after everything you've gone through
no you aren't
As you had once told me, that there are multiple relationships we have parents friends etc and so you aren't really alone in that sense and I guess we are here for ya as well if that can help
i want this pain to end
Have you seen a doctor
Oh ok
Good
i ha d
a flashback
not a drean not a memory
some weird flashback
now im anxious again
i need my meds
i took my meds
someone bought me slime rancher on steam
thank you person who did that
im gonna try to brush my teeth and shower before bed
i did my night routine
I'm in bed
I feel ok for now
i wish he'd come back sometimes
i miss him
I think maybe today
ill have good dreams
and Everything will be safe and cozy
nothing will harm me
And eventually ill
heal
goodnight
I know how you feel literally I've been in that situation too and it hunts me too
yeah it sucks all around
took a brisk walk around my house a couple of times to lower anxiety
i feel better tonight
id say i was contemplating a lot and thinking on the situation but it might turn out alright
Good
la da di la da de la da do
should i draw something or let this anxiety take over again ermmmm
ill draw something
i meant to draw my fairy oc actually
didnt yet
drew him!
it was a quick doodle
im happy i drew something today
maybe i should make more gacha ocs to pass the time
actually i havent played slime rancher yet despite having it bought for me
meant to
i really need to make that hobbies list
if i regain my interests ill probably be happier, right?
Nice
Yes you will be happier
It might take some time, but yeah you will feel better
Um your wish, I am saying that you should sleep for some time if you are tired
Forget 1 day girl, life >> 1 day but I am not saying that you should skip school but that maybe mental health can be better ig if you are being tired etc. I am not sure i guess
If you want you could stay home but you have to ask your mother
Be strong sis!
Ok
i think im starting to emotionally detach from the last adult who took advantage of me
im starting to remember him with less and less sadness
perhaps in a way
I do phycology at school
do you like it?
Yes it’s like we learn about the mind and how it works
And the memory will like remove some terrible memories like if you are in a car crash you will know that you were in a crash but not be able to remember the crash
But not always
How are you today btw
just took my medication, feeling alright
Nice
hoping i can get through with today
I am sure that today it will be better
thanks ^^
Your welcome
hope ur day will be good too
Yeah for me it’s evening right now
fair
feels bad again
Ah ok
I have therapy today
Stay strong
Yeah I remember
I am sure after some therapy lessons you will feel better
yea probably
You got it girl!
thanks im trying
That’s the spirit
i just dont really like my current capacities
I take lots of rest because most things tire me
feels like my maximum is someones minimums
That’s good do you also relax when you rest
yeah
Good
my parents stress about my academics while im more focused on mental health
its a weird combo
Yeah
Nice
What subjects did you choose
psychology/statistics is my main idea
its alright, we all have our strengths
Is there like equations
Yeah mine is gaming and Legos for some reason
there are, yes
pretty neat
Ok
Thanks
I should play a game to distract myself
I took a midnight walk
I have a pumpkin spice hot latte with me cause I went to my favorite cafe
I know im a bit young for this thread but I'm going to say this anyway, i understand what your going, my big sister did this too me, i became sexual addict before i was 7 no one ever knew about what happened every night I didn't know it was wrong we stopped when she went to the hospital, i thought she was pretending it never happened, but it turns out in the coma she lost alot of memories and doesn't remember what happened. If you need anyone to talk to I'm here for you, please don't delete my message or dismiss me for being to young to be in this conversation.
i appreciate it. i understand people younger can go through these things, i just put the age reference to warn beforehand
I know, but sometimes people dismiss what ive been through Because im 15
Random question, are you also a coffee addict?
i love tea actually but a good coffee doesnt hurt
thats sad. im sorry they dismiss your experiences
its valid
Im banned from drinking tea because one i do i start being like- uncle iroh tryna act all wise'n stuff
i drink tea since it gets me less anxious than coffee but still keeps me awake
occasionally when im triggered ill have bad flashbacks
like reliving everything
I'm always over caffeinated. I do drink alot of coffee and anything caffeine because it makes me happy ironically
i get you on that part but my addiction is honestly social media
i hate being alone with my thoughts
Same
Honestly i used to have this mind telling myself im disgusting n stuff and now i just go "IM DISGUSTING AND SCREW ANYONE WHO CARES"
Ive learned to take most of it out on an ai bot though 😂
im trying to break out of the mindset or at least distract myself from it tbh
i understand the self loathing so much though
it truly sucks
so draining
Honestly, yeah it is draining but if your fantasing about anime guys 24/7 your mind doesn't have the opacity to loath
we can be friends if ya want
FV<K YEAH
hell yeah
you know what i told my therapist today
i told her
im happy i stopped letting my harmful thoughts control me in situations where i feel powerless to do anything about my feelings
i will not harm myself because of a grooming situation and i will not have suicidal ideation control my lifestyle
That's badass!
yay
Remember, you are too precious to hurt yourself because of some asshole
hopes and dreams type shi
fr lol
(17+) i am recovering from being groomed
Let's gooooo!!!!
yippeer
party, when?
yippeeeeeeeeee
Nice
Do remember : It's common for people who got abused to miss their abuser as it was the only (unhealthy) form of love they saw. It wasn't your fault btw sis 🙏 be strong please
thank u
I am trying
in a good way?
good way, neutral way, bad way
i can feel on top of the world at one point and then feel just alright after
very odd
perhaps i should sleep, its 5 am and i only slept through 9 to 1
5 hours
had flashbacks so i woke up
will it be easier when i grow up
i dont know exactly
will it all be alright in the end or is it just life
life can be difficult, but i think you'll be okay in the end
i can tell you're strong
i look strong
to lots of people
im often told that i am
but i just feel like myself
maybe living doesn't need anything at all, it just happened
thats a good thing!!
likely
and all this talking to myself
texting people
playing games, drawing, writing, waking up in the morning, showering, living
i just kind of do it
you know
there is a sort of comfort
someone once told me
someone had once told me that the only point in life, truly, was to be happy
because its the closest thing to heaven in this realm
not that im particularly religious
it stuck
i didnt understand then
You like talking to yourself?
yes
Me too
its very therapeutic
im doing it right now technically
these arent directed at anyone
I do it everytime I wanna go to bed
thats honestly a really good way to put it
i've never thought of it that way before
i do it on social media, creativity, or in the shower
maybe before i sleep too
yeah
ive met lots of people online, you know
like everyone has
but
i got the internet at 4 years old
which sounds sad
but im not that jolted by it
i dont think im tortured
or im made to be
not anymore
existing is not a shameful thing
We addicted to phones now
just live
Well it's not bad
caring too much about how to live life 'right' will often lead to the opposite place unless you can genuinely find it in yourself to follow it and believe in what you follow
but humans do not often work that way
we have doubts, anxieties, fears, worries
we have other people and relations and complicated thoughts
and through it maybe there is very little to actually find, or maybe there is an abundance
actually this line of thought has little point other than i wish to say something
i just want to be heard sometimes
is the universe a kind person
what an odd matter
you know what i heard once
our biology makes it so what we feel as good will our brains view it as 'great for our survival'
i think this makes sense sometimes
why people get so self destructive
why i was so self destructive, or am
it is 5 am
i have school in 2 hours. i am unsure if i will go, i know it will make me feel bad
i think tonight will be peaceful
and everything will be alright, eventually
i almost drank spoiled milk on accident
yuck
there's something true a friend of mine told me after the first or second time i was groomed
What was it
What about yesterday were you ok at school ?
"[cottontail], you will meet many people in your life, and you will love them vastly different to one another"
"regardless, you will meet them, and love them"
"i would like you to understand this eventually, even if not soon"
it was okay
Good
this is because i had acted like losing the groomer was the worst thing to ever happen to me, when truly it wasnt
they were right
im gonna meet lots of people
yeah
i guess the entire point of all these rambles is reminding myself it'll all be okay
And it will be ok
it most likely will
just occasionally
my feelings on the matter are skewed
i do not believe that life and logic usually correlate
but
feelings can be distinguished and know that they do not have to happen
just because you feel it
True
there are people out there who care about me
my family, my irl/online friends, my teachers, my counselors/mentors, my therapist/psychologist
i could not just give up so easily now
knowing these things
i took my meds after waking up shaking today
a little down but it'll be okay
Good
maybe it'd help with my feelings if i finally started something again besides low effort stuff
im gonna look at my old excercise plan i used to do
That’s really good
And maybe also rewatch a tv show to get some negative stuff out of your head
aaaaajsjdfjdsfhsjf
What is happening today
im fully facing my fears regarding school
im gonna return to all my classes and do all my classwork/homework and do my college applications without slacking

chat am i cooked
my mother has annoyed me first thing in the morning
calm down mars this isnt the end of the world 💔 💔 💔 just an annoyingly overconcerned mom
What happened
How are you today
Good for you 🤩
thankd
i am gonna apply to a bunch of community colleges and look into a few trades
Nice which ones do you think you are going to apply will accept
Like which ones do you want to go to
Like in England Germany e.t.c
ones in my city
Ok nice
about 6 ill apply too since im allowed 6 free applications
trade wise im thinking mechanic, cook, gunsmith, or something in clothes/design
Which one is the best for you in your opinion
cooking honestly, i would really enjoy being a good cook
a couple times, yes
Nice what did you cook before
soups, pasta, noodles mainly
im pretty amateur at it though. id just like to get better
Glad to see ur doing well
thanks, sorry for not replying to dms ^^
i kinda got caught up in my bullshit again
Yeah fair enough i do too
how are you doing?
Im doing well, you?
pretty alright for now. still need to focus on school mainly, about to start a virtual class since i got home
my teachers said they'll help me get back on track
plus i need to use my coping mechanisms more productively 😭
Fair enough
I'm tryna break through a wall, myself
Self care n all
Just one step at a time ya know?
yep ^^ what are you trying?
Brushing me teeth and cleaning my room
I know the dentists will be getting paid hefty when i come in omg
But no teeth pain so thats a good sign.
yeah the shame is there but just know physical self neglect is easily fixable. even though getting it down consistently is the hard part
for me i knew it all, it was just turning it into a habit that was hard
Its mostly, because im an overthinker because im like "what if i want a snack" "what if i wake up dad?" Type shi
if it helps, id recommend a small routine with set times
doesn't have to be crazy
i got one i used to do
7:00 am, get out of bed.
Make bed
Brush teeth
Wash face
Comb hair
Eat something
3:00 pm, after school/club/work.
Wash face
Comb hair
Gym routine
Eat something
9:00 pm, get in bed.
Brush teeth
Shower
10:00-11:00 pm, sleep.
Ill just brush my teeth once im done with my chores ✨
this one
Even if i only brush my teeth once a day, its a step.
you are right on that
Ive been neglecting myself for years.
And im low-key feeling it but i promised myself 2026 will be different.
Ill fix most of myself up
And then i can start up on my toxic traits.
honestly, if it helps, i think that humans are more "navigable" than "fixable"
by that i mean there's a bunch of shit we know we do wrong but its not that we are broken or anything, we just need to overcome hurdles regarding these things and keep at it. sometimes we fall, though. thats normal
i believe in you
keep at it ^^
We should make a thread for us it'll be like a day counting of taking care of ourselves
You know like
Tryna make a streak
if you want, we can make a collabrative thread in #1338240260987027568 . i wouldnt be against that
sure, ill make it then ping ya in it
Sweet
do you want to make it so others are allowed to chat in it or no?
Sure
I think it'll be good start for us and maybe some other people.
Maybe get a little pep talk too
todays actually a pretty positive day. all i have to vent about is how well i feel i be doing right now
still need to write...
did someone text here?
i feel like i saw a notification and then it was gone
might be hallucinating or something
It was meee lmao

Could be
If you want you can stay awake or go back to sleep
Today is Saturday so no school
Unless you are busy today
Your welcome
Um do you want to talk about it 🫂 ?
How bad was it
well
not too bad, i think im getting used to the nightmares
they just keep waking me up
What are they about
various anxieties, fears, doubts, worries, trauma, events in my life
If you are ok to talk about
things like that
Ah
i should probably sleep soon
can't really
What time is it for you
4 am, i just woke up again
Do you have any goals today
ill make some in the morning, at 4 am there's not much to do
Any homework
partially. virtual class
Is it hard
not really
Good
i could probably do it a little
I’m here if ur chill
welcome
yeah i talk a lot dont i
this thread almost has 1k+ messages now
eh, same old same old
you've probably read the post anyway to a degree, id assume
got groomed again a while back. so epic
now im trying to recover
Idk I saw some about physical stuff with a guy
yeah sexual abuse
youre good
do you know how trauma works 😭
yea thats part of it
i mean im trying to recover now honestly. most i have to vent about is how stupid i feel due to the recent grooming incident
oh well
Wdym groomed
thats not marriage
Oh
grooming is a form of emotional manipulation where an adult creates a bond with a minor for sexual acts
That happened again?
yes
Shit
i understand this is a complicated topic
Ofc it is
Bro
This is serous court stuff
U live ina hood or smthng
im safe now, yeah, im just dealing with the aftermath
keep getting nightmare/flashbacks
So what’s up
What’s bothering you
Why don’t you avoid guys to be honest I know a friend that happened to her but she escaped thanks to god that day
Now she hates men
i mean, honestly i am okay for now. you just happened to enter the thread and it'd be rude to not reply. its 7 am for me, i cant really sleep recently but ... you know, im recovering and all
Ah na it’s fine
i logically cant just hate half the human population forever
i know people suck sometimes
that not everyone though
