I didn't know what else to do or where to go. I need a reason to wake up tomorrow so I guess that's to come back here and check in. I don't want any replies, just a reason

Hi @Riv,

Welcome to the forums. I know you have mentioned that you do not want a reply however you have said you would like a reason. I wanted to let you know you have a reason and we have a super supportive community here that are great at listening to all kinds of problems and being there for you.

Could you let us know a little bit more about you or what you are struggling with at the moment?

Opening up hurts.
Connecting with people hurts.

Hi @Riv, and @Lauz I'm pebbles 🙂 

I just wanted to say I hear you @Riv. It sounds as though you are hesitant to want to connect with others but I wonder if typing out some things here online might help at all, however small?

@Riv, I totally agree.
I've been told in the last 24 hours that if I hurt myself that I will never have the opportunity for things to get better.
Get out of bed cause things might get better.

I don't know how or what to say. I'm sorry. Thank you for the concern, nothing matters.

Nothing stays the same forever. Things always change....sometimes in a good way , sometimes in a bad way.
People do hurt, but not all people all of the time. There are some wonderful people too.
When you least expect it sometimes something happens that gives you a second chance
Sometimes when just sitting outside on a sunny day you forget why you don't want to be here for a while and it's enough to realise it's ok in that moment.
These are some of my experiences. I hope you find something to hold on to.

This was a poor decision on my part, it usually is. I'm sorry for the hassle. Thank you for the effort and kind words.

@Riv, I know nothing about you. But why do you think nothing matters?
