Mental health

I'm not strong enough to talk to womens aid anymore so I'm drawing a line under it .  I will deal with any issues that occur alone . I think that's the best for me from now on because since I've been in touch with them I've felt nothing but guilt and I've been very run down.  I'm not strong enough to pursue things any further.  I apologise unreservedly.  Things have occurred but I'm definitely drawing a line under it . So that's the end of that saga. Once again I Apologise Unreservedly to each and every single person on the Scope Forum . I've been so terribly un concerned for others and I am very ashamed of myself.   There's always one who upsets things .

You don't need to apologise to anyone @Strawberry1 - being honest about how you feel isn't something you should feel ashamed about. 
While I understand you want to draw a line under the whole thing and you've been left feeling worse after engaging with Women's Aid, you might still find it helpful to speak with someone at the National Domestic Abuse Helpline on 0808 2000 247 (24-hour freephone) or visit their website for support and advice.

Even then, if all of that still feels like too much, then please don't close the door entirely, you can always reach back out for support when you have the energy to do it even if that takes some time.

@Strawberry1
Nobody has wasted their time speaking to you, you are truly a genuine kind person with a big big heart. I think a lot of you and hate that you feel the way you do. 

Please look after yourself. I’m just heading to bed so hopefully get a catch up with you tomorrow.

  Goodnight ❤️

I'm just going to draw a line under everything.  To pursue things any further would make my mental health worse. 

Strawberry1

I've been sending some texts to the women's aid worker to tell her how I feel so she will be aware I don't want to take things any further.

Heya @Strawberry1 how're you feeling today? 
I just wanted to echo Lou67s comments, you're not a waste of space at all and we're all glad to talk to you here. 

Strawberry1

Feeling rubbish @Albus_Scope. You take care of yourself. 

Strawberry1

Ask anyone that actually knows me in real life they will tell you how pathetic I am. 

Albus_Scope

I'm sure that's not true @Strawberry1 ! Is there anything we can support you with, or you want to talk through? 

Strawberry1

Thanks @Albus_Scope  , no it's OK but thanks for asking.  You take care. 

Strawberry1

I've told the women's aid people I can't pursue things any further.  I just can't do it anymore.

Hi I’m so sorry you don’t feel able to pursue things with woman’s aid, it’s such a shame as I have had help from them a couple off times throughout my life and they literally saved me from the abuse I was going through.
My self esteem isn’t great just now but better than years ago.
I wish you believed in yourself I do know that can be hard to do.
We all care about you and wish you’d be kinder to yourself.

Take care ❤️
