Hey guys
So it turns out I can't stay away from TeenHelp for so long, I really wanted a break but I do have a lot of friends on TH. The reason why I wanted to leave was because everything was getting too much, my mental state was pretty shitty and it still is but I'm okay. I am feeling REALLY alone, even though I have my family, I don't have friends that I can talk to everyday. I cut off a huge portion of friends 6 months ago and can I just say, it's a lonely path and it's horrible. I love TeenHelp so much, it's literally my life like 60% of my life. 20% is my job which is pet sitting, 10% is my family and 10% I have no idea - still waiting to find something to fill it in.

Welcome Back Del. If you ever need to talk I am here.
We may shine, we may shatter,
We may be picking up the pieces here on after,
We are fragile, we are human,
We are shaped by the light we let through us,
We break fast, cause we are glass.
Cause we are glass.

I'm really glad that you've decided to stay, Delwen. I understand how real life circumstances in addition to feeling underappreciated and unsupported can feel. Real life is bad enough, but then having a space where you want to feel both of those things (and don't) makes it so much more difficult to want to stay around. Though please know that you are appreciated and valued here. You contribute to making the site what it is and I doubt it'd still be here at this point without people like you.
I'm honestly not usually great at giving advice and I don't pretend to be, but I'm always here to listen if you need.
(just to say - I can never stay away either and that's why I'm still here almost nine years later... )
“There is nothing beautiful about the wreckage of a human being.
There is nothing pretty about damage, about pain, about heartache.
What is beautiful is their strength, their resilience, their fortitude
as they display an ocean of courage when they pick through the
wreckage of their life to build something beautiful brand new,
against every odd that is stacked against them.” — Nikita Gill

Welcome back, Delwen! I'm glad you've decided to return. I know how it feels to come on here, utilizing it as a safe space, and feel underappreciated. Please know that I enjoy having you around and if you ever want to have a chat, my PM box and VM wall are always open. I hope you stick around for a long time.
(Also, as Spuds has said, it's hard to leave the site. Which is why I'm here nine seven years later. )
