@Zoe7 I don't want to go to that horrible place.

You need to be somewhere where you are safe right now @The-red-centaur Do you feel safe where you are?

[The-red-centaur]

@Zoe7 Idk...

[Zoe7]

If you don't know @The-red-centaur then isn't it better that you get some help - I know you hate the hospital buddy but we want you to be safe and that seems like the safest place for you if you are struggling so much. I am happy to chat to you too but the priority here is your safety 

[Zoe7]

@The-red-centaur I need to head off to bed buddy but will check in with you tomorrow. I hope you have taken steps to be safe tonight  Remember those numbers are there to use if you need. Goodnight @The-red-centaur

@Zoe7 I'm sorry about last night. I ended up in hospital and got home about 3am. I'm doing a little better but it still hurts inside

[Zoe7]

No need to be sorry @The-red-centaur I was very concerned for you though so I am glad you looked after yourself and got yourself to hospital. That takes courage buddy and I am very proud of you for doing that. As I said last night - happy to chat or sit with you but also want you to be safe - and you achieved that for yourself last night 

I hope today has been a little easier on you. Have you done anymore painting?

I'm starting to feel similar to last night @Zoe7 I don't know what to do. I'm trying to listen to one of my favourite bands but it's not really helping
