The entire SANE Forums community is here for you. What do you think will help you at the moment? @Autumn_Leaf 

You deserve to be supported.

Tysm @tyme 

this community seems so nice im glad to have joined 

tysm for welcoming me and supporting me 

im currently watching the worst witch on Netflix it’s So good 😊 

i guess I feel so lonely and lost and afraid 

[tyme]

I'm glad you're enjoying your show on Netflix. It can certainly act as a good distraction.

You are not alone in feeling those feelings of isolation and fear. I reckon most people here on the forums can relate to those feelings in one way or another. @Autumn_Leaf 

Through my recovery, I've learnt to be kind to myself. To take each step slowly because I can only do what I can do. 

Allow yourself to heal. Allow yourself to feel. Allow yourself to live 🙂

We are here for you. We are all real people with real stories.
