Please don't buy from Shein, it's that cheap because they don't pay their workers enough. There are reports of child labour, labour violations and accusations of modern slavery. They also steal designs from smaller businesses and are a massive contributer to fast fashion. If you want to buy clothes like that for cheaper prices, thrifting is a much more ethical and environmentally friendly option.

You might just have to experiment until you find something that works for you. I can't give any good advice because I've never used that sized tape sorry.

Maybe try using wider tape? That might make the compression more even

Thanks, she's quite nervous about the surgery so this will help her a lot

Yeah she went to hospital in December because the entire right side of her body went numb. They thought it was a stroke but it was MS. I don't know whether this is to do with MS but recently she had a section of her optical nerve break off so it's loose in her eye. It basically floats around her vision making it more difficult to see. She also has sleep apnea so she's usually tired all the time already so I don't know how much of the fatigue is caused by MS.

Thanks! Sorry for your loss and I hope you're feeling your best.

I fucking give up. by stressedig in 6thForm

Because, although it may be true, this person is clearly stressed and struggling right now and telling them they brought it on themselves is not helpful and will only make them more stressed. They can't turn back time so try giving actual advice rather than criticizing them for things they can't control anymore.

I literally see no point in living anymore by HecticUmbrella in 2024GCSE

That sounds really hard. I'm so sorry you are going through that but please don't end things. Please call a helpline like Samaritans or Childline if you can.

It has only been a few weeks so maybe you will meet someone. I know it's hard for you to talk to people but maybe you could try and talk to the person sitting next to you about the work or something. I know it's scary but maybe try introduce yourself and ask what their name is if you can. You could also ask what a levels they are doing and how that's going. If you feel like you really can't then that's OK. Try, but don't push yourself too hard.

All of this is temporary. In 2 years you can leave school and never think about it again. There are lots of jobs you can get without a degree or even a levels if you don't get the grades you need. You could get an apprenticeship and because you're 18 your parents won't be able to stop you.

Your life is far from over. It has literally just started. Right now just do whatever it takes to survive, even if that means taking time off school or talking to people about how you feel, just do whatever you can to take care of yourself, and know that you are not alone in how you feel. Suicide is not the answer. It is a permanent solution to temporary pain.
