My online friend, the only friend I've got, is "taking a break from social media." I don't know what to do or what to think.

It's good to know someone understands what it's like to be clingy and all the difficulties it brings. I think I've surprised myself with how I put my friend's needs before mine. I don't know how I did it!

Yeah, I'm the same, school wasn't the best of times for me so I used the internet as a way of escaping it (until the next day at least.) I've spent this year trying to "re-introduce" myself to the real world. It hasn't gone as well as I would've hoped, but I like to think I'll get there eventually. I'll try my best to keep challenging all these negative thoughts! It's just so easy to get caught up in them and ending up not knowing what to think.

Hopefully these hobbies will keep me occupied. I think at a time like this, the worst thing I could do is sit and do nothing but wallow in all my worries!

And no problem! Accept them in your own time :) Thank you for taking the time to listen to me, I really do appreciate it. I feel a lot calmer than I would've done if I hadn't posted on here and talked it through (I'd probably be climbing up the walls by now!)
