your advice device

hey, this is basically an advice blog. ive been told by a lot of my friends that i give good advice, so instead of clogging up my personal blog's feed with advice, i decided to make a new page and dedicate it to advice. this blog is for those people who feel like they have no-one to talk to, because no matter what, there's always someone willing to listen. so don't bottle it up, go ahead and let it out, and i will try to help you.

Anonymous: i don't ever feel good enough for anyone.

why? what makes you feel like that? nobody is not good enough.

Anonymous: I don't know who I am any more.
A few months ago I was attacked and sexually assaulted it's taken a while to get over it but the way i dealt with it was that I put on this happy face around school but basically inside I have lost myself and everything that I am and was. when I look in the mirror I don't see myself at all I see him. I've tried to cope for the past few months but now I feel as if I'm not strong enough to do it on my own. I don't even know what to do any more.. shall I just get it out so I don't have to pretend to be a different person around school? xxxx

firstly, have you told someone, anyone? if it’s sexual assault then it’s a criminal offence to the person who assaulted you, you need to tell someone. i’m not saying go straight to the police or whatever, but it might be an idea to tell a close friend, or a close relative such as a parent. you shouldn’t bottle this up! people will be there for you. i advise you tell someone, do not fear being judged. people will support you because you shouldn’t have to go through something like that - nobody should, and especially not alone. talk to your friends, i assume you have many amazing, trustworthy and supportive friends or family. let it out, you’ll feel a total weight loss xxxx

Anonymous: actually while I waited for the response we made up. We are friends again and stuff.

oh, well i’m incredibly pleased for you. sorry for the long wait, got a lot of coursework and revision to do so haven’t been on tumblr in a while.

Anonymous: I just lost my best friend which leaves me with no friends outside of the internet. I want to kill myself.

oh my god! don’t feel like this. i had a best friend, we were closer than anyone i have ever been close to in the whole world. she moved away about 4 years ago now, and although i haven’t actually lost her, i know the pain of losing someone. not seeing them every day will be a massive pain, and things wont get better, but you have to confide in people. there are so many more people out there who care for you and time is a great healer, try and distract yourself by doing physical activity to work off emotion, and talking always helps. i’m so sorry for your loss x
