Also across the hall there is a phone that rings for 10 full minutes, every day.

And the aircon smells like mold.

Man waits 3 months to see his girlfriend, you won't believe what happens next!

Hi there. We all have ups and downs in life, but sometimes the downs can feel really down or can feel like they will never end. Take heart though, things can and do get better. If you are having thoughts about taking your own life, know that there are people who care, and are there to help you. Reach out to someone if you need to.
