oh no!!! I totally get it, happens to the best of us…
It’s hard being a teenager in this huge world. Sometimes the expectations are just too high, or we’re expected to act like adults when we’re still kind of kids.
Take some time for yourself and don’t put too much pressure on yourself.
You got this, and we’re always here for you!!

Thanks :blush:
I actually act more like an adult than the kids my age so it’s hard to deal all the stuff they talk about that I don’t understand especially when my birthday is at the end of the school year so I’m technically younger than them.
I really appreciate this though :heart:

I just realized my art teacher might see this because she likes to crochet too and I told her about this app and I told her my username

i was in your exact situation a couple of years ago. i promise things do get better, i’m pleading for you not to give up.
be careful and please take care of yourself :people_hugging: we’re rooting for you. <3

adding to this: it’s very valid to be feeling the way you are. this does matter. it’s a very good thing to be able to verbalize how ya feel and communicate it effectively!! that’s really hard for a lot of people to do (honestly i hardly can lol)

Truer words were never spoken, except for that one meme that said “I had 400 stitch markers. How many do I have now? 4. I have 4.” We are all supporting you, and things WILL get better. Feeling this way is OK. Don’t let anyone bully you for how you’re feeling.

Others have had great advice to give you and its been many many years since i was in school but if I could say anything its to reiterate what others have said that your feelings are valid and important I would just add something that I’ve learned in my own life and that is sometimes we need to take a breathe and ask ourselves if we can get through the next minute, if we can, we do, then we go on to the next, and the next… sometimes we need to break down our hours, or days that way for a bit. But i promise you will not only get through this, but your life will be incredibly because you are you.

(I know this sounds really cliche and cheesy) But hey, I know things can feel really overwhelming right now, especially with all the changes and pressures that come with 8th grade. It’s totally normal to feel stressed, but I want you to remember that you don’t have to handle everything on your own. It’s okay to take breaks and just breathe when things feel like they’re too much. Talking to someone—whether it’s a friend, a family member, or even a teacher (though I don’t think I could ever talk to any teacher if I was having a hard time…)—can really help, even if it’s just to get things off your chest. You’re doing the best you can, and that’s more than enough. Don’t be too hard on yourself, and know that you’ve got people who care about you and want to help. You’ve got this, one step at a time!

Yeah same. I have been struggling with my mental health, but I’m the “happy” friend. So I feel like I always need to be happy, so I just push feelings down. Sometimes I cry, and sometimes I ignore, and sometimes I have… Bad, really bad, thoughts. I breakdown whenever I see people being bullied or alone, because that was me at one point. I have just been struggling. I feel like I need to be perfect, and pretty, and happy, and all the things. And eighth grade doesn’t help. I am really insecure about my body and personality, and some things just set me off.

Sorry, this is a bit of a long message. I don’t usually open up like this, so thank you for giving me the chance.

Love you all :heart:

You need to find your person to vent and offload to too, or you’ll run or of energy supporting others. If that’s a family member , friend or a professional, whoever. And also its ok to give yourself some personal space… speaking from experience as the ‘happy friend’ its ok to have boundaries and say no sometimes … or not be the first person to jump to the call because if you give a little space sometimes other people step up to help instead or they find their own way/answer which is important too. You need to save some energy for yourself so you can continue to be that loving supportive friend and not burn out or resent them. Also it’s OK if the people that need you aren’t the ones to offer the support back… sometimes they just can’t… but they’re still a good friend…think of it more of a circle than expect reciprocal support…and be upset if they don’t. they lean on you, you lean on someone else, they lean on someone else round and about you look after each other. Different people can offer help at different times and at some point it works out. (Obs toxic relationships need to be changed …im talking about friends who are friends you trust etc)

Going off on one there a bit but i burnt out when i was younger because i felt i had to solve everyone’s problems…you don’t you just need to care , listen and help them solve them themselves which might be poiting them towards others for help.

Look after yourself . You are important too. Xx

Maybe have a chat with your art teacher if you have a good relationship where you share craft tips, lean into your crafts and art to help calm and relax you. Definitely keep talking to those you care about and trust to help you through. Small steps . You got this xx
