I know a lot of people in town (myself included) have been having a hard time lately. I wanted to make a post sharing some of the resources that has helped me when I needed someone to talk to, and hope that if someone here is needing someone to talk to can find this useful too.

These are just some of the ones I have used and I have used the texting option.

988.ca ( text 988) has helped not only to get my thoughts out but they also gave me resources in ways to better handle tough emotions. This is a crisis and suicide hotline.

Progress Place Warm Line

Warmline.ca texting 6pm to 12 am is not a crisis hotline but you can connect with someone if you feel overwhelmed or lonely and just need someone to talk too. ( it took awhile to connect with someone but once I did they were very friendly and nice). There is also a calling option and on online chat option.

Some other resources I have come across but have not used but still wanted to pass along is:

Distress Centre Halton

www.dchalton.ca

COAST: Crisis Outreach and Support Team.

If anyone has anymore resources that they have used or know of, I would love to look into it.

Thanks!

Everytime I befriend a guy at a certain point it always ends up him asking for nudes or asking for sex. I let them know im not comfortable with that and they act okay with it in the beginning and then they start asking and it makes me feel so uncomfortable that I have to unfriended them.

I know its not most guys but im definitely attracting a certain type and its so off putting.

Ive been told im too nice and maybe thats true but being friendly is not flirting.

Today after I went to the gym, I decided to walk on the crosstown trail beside riveroaks rec centre. There were the cutest kids and their mom selling Watermelon juice. Super good and just what I needed after being in a mind funk the past couple days. If by any chance mom or family member is on here, I just wanted to say thank you for brightening my day.

I never thought I would actually do it because I thought my problems wernt big enough to be considered a crisis. But I have been so overwhelmed with work and so emotional that I needed to reach out to someone and since I dont have friends, I decided to take a chance on the crisis texting platform.

I didnt know what to expect but they helped me talk through my issues and they asked questions that made my mind focus on what was going on. I walked away from that experience feeling calm and less overwhelmed.

I know its not much, but im proud of myself for reaching out.

I hate how angry everybody is. I got yelled up by a customer at work and cried for hours at work. I got to my car on my lunch break to calm myself down and a women blasted her horn at me and screaming at me to get out of my parking spot. My car wasnt even on. And the worst part is the anger is seeping into me. Im on edge, angry. Ready to hurt people worse than they hurt me.

I know this is wrong. I have never acted on my anger but it is there. I think under all this anger I am broken. Sad. Not happy.

I have a bunny and I am looking to get her a bunny mate. I bought my first bunny from a pet shop but dont want to go that route again. For bunny parents out there, are there any bunny rescues near by that I can look into that you would reccomend?

Thanks!
