I've been referred to CAMHS and I'm scared because I've only heard bad experiences about it

I've been struggling for over 3 years with extreme mood swings, chronic emptiness and such bad abandonment issues and this also led me to developing an eating disorder (im mostly recovered from that now though), but i finally decided to reach out for help again because its severely impacting my relationship with friends and my bf. I went to NHS talking therapies CBT once, but it was awful and I don't want to go back, it only made me worse.

My GP has ticked of bipolar on the referral form ?? (i suspect bpd but that is besides the point) for some reason but I am really worried about this referral because I've only heard bad experiences from my many friends who have been to CAMHS with team members just ignoring their issues and not taking them seriously. I don't know what to do and I just want to know if it can actually help me or if i am doomed.

My snake just pooped this out??

I have no idea what this is but i am 100% sure it came out of his cloaca because i watched him, there is some regular snake poop near it which also came out but this came out after. He hasnt eaten in nearly 2 weeks due to a heatwave he refused a meal because of uncomfortable temps i believe (I have taken measures to add a cool side to his vivarium despite this and its working) but i have no idea what this is and I am very worried. I know theres an exotic vet around but I would rather use this as a last resort as my parents will be angry at me if he needs the vet. But i will take him to the vet if needed! Hes 18 months old ish, 46g and around 12 inches

How do I make sure he stays cool?

I am going to wales for a day during the week, and I am extremely concerned about my hognose because my town is due to reach 35°C that day. My room is pretty hot and the only method of cooling i have is a fan, which isnt really doing much for his vivarium. I have no AC and im sure my dad will not be willing to buy it for me. So far i have turned his CHE right down and replacing his water with cold water daily, which is working okay at the minute but wont when it gets so hot. His ambient temp right now is 28. Im really worried about him and i dont know what to do. sorry if i put the wrong flair im just so stressed

i want to get out but i dont know how

I have relapsed HARD. I want to get back to when i was happy before this, i want things to be how they used to be, but the dysmorphia is so bad I feel like i can't. The guilt is crazy. I hate this so much. Im so scared this disorder is going to take everything from me all over again, including my bf. Hes been supportive but i promised him id try my best and ive failed i just feel like a burden to everyone. I want to stop but I feel like i deserve this, but I dont want to lose him. I just dont know what to do anymore.

Triggered by someone with my 'dream body'

I've been struggling for a while now dipping back into my ED habits, even just for a day, but i always pulled myself back out.

Yesterday my friends introduced me to a girl that they know because they thought we'd get along. Shes really nice but she has my dream body. Shes shorter than me, thinner, smaller frame and bone structure, shes everything i wanted to be. And its driving me crazy. Ive learnt she has an ED too because she added me on tiktok and reposts about it. That was it. Im relapsing and I know it now, i have been for a while but ive been denying it. I cant deny it anymore. I dont even know why im bothering because 🌟ving myself isnt going to make me 7 inches shorter and give me small hip bones. Its just not all about that though.

I feel so guilty, i feel like im letting everyone down by falling back into this. But i dont know what to do anymore. I felt like i failed when i started recovery and now i feel like im failing again, yet i dont want to stop.

will any shade of pink go over this

i have purple colour blocks but theyre faded and im going back to my hairdresser to get them redone + ghost roots all in purple but i kinda wanna try a different colour jn the meantime. Could i put pink over this as it is or would it not work? theres still purple underneath so i thought it may look cool

I cant find my snakes eye caps on his shed

My hoggie has just shed for the second time in two months. Hes shed three times over the year hes been with me and the previous two sheds ive been able to see his eye caps but this time I can't. I also put a mouse in his enclosure about an hour ago and he hasn't eaten it (he did shed within the time it was in there though!) and I'm just wondering if he is okay or if his eye caps are stuck. His eyes look normal to me, and his humidity has been at 45%, im just not sure. (Last picture is him now looking very angry lol)

UPDATE: hes literally just eaten the mouse so his appetite seems okay
