If you know other hotlines that provide support that are not on this list, feel free to contact a BlogTeam member to add it to this list.
Regarding replies that mention or are about religion: Generally, religion should be avoided when replying to other people to give them hugs, such as stating that you will be praying for them. However, exceptions will be made if the person asking for hugs is asking for prayers from people who practice the same religion as them or if they are open about what religion they practice. Otherwise, people who do not practice the same religion or do not practice any religion should steer clear of providing religion-related comfort if they don’t know if another BlogClanner practices a specific religion.
A note from BlogTeam: From now on, we will no longer moderate comments on the Hug Page that go into specific detail about events. Instead, commenters will post in a vague manner, such as “I’m having a bad day, I could really use some hugs”, and other BlogClanners are welcome to provide comfort and support. This change is not because of any specific event or person, but because it is extremely difficult to mitigate questionable comments and determine what parts of certain comments are suitable to moderate, as well as making sure that replies with advice are in no way harmful to the original poster or others. If you ever feel like you need advice about a serious situation, you are welcome to reach out to BlogTeam, because your health and safety is our top priority. However, no one on BlogTeam is or has ever been a mental health professional in any way, and all we can do is provide advice. We implore you to always reach out to a trusted adult or hotline (listed above) about a situation that worries you. You are still welcome to come to the Hug Page if you need any hugs or comfort from your BlogClan peers, but the cause of your distress can no longer be explained——no matter the situation. Thank you so much for understanding <3
I’m having some pretty annoying issues with my family. My dad is quite a bit strict and he’s always very busy on “work stuff,” although half the time he’s just looking at twitter. I try and get to watch TV with him sometimes but he’s usually like “Oh, no, I’m busy.” Or, like, “I’m gonna have an early night tonight.” But then he stays up watching TV until midnight.
My mom is the same amount of annoying. Last week, she promised that she would schedule an appointment for a haircut, but she told me yesterday or the day before that I should wait longer. I’ve been waiting for this haircut for….like, since November, and I’ve been growing my hair for as long as I can and I’m about on the edge. It just makes me feel like she doesn’t care about it.
If this wasn’t enough, I hurt my knee while skiing and my parents aren’t sure it is actually that bad and aren’t willing to take me to the hospital.
Hugs and advice please. It would really help, I think 😭
hi, cherrypaw!! I’m sorry you’re dealing with family issues right now. if your family won’t take you to the hospital and your knee is still bothering you, you can always go to your school nurse and have them take a look at it!! they can give advice, and possibly pain meds if needed <3
Hi guys 🙂
I’ve not been feeling great recently. I’m so tired and overworked right now, and I have no motivation to do anything. I can’t concentrate in class and I fidget a little too much, and I just feel really exhausted. I also feel really guilty that I’ve been so inactive recently. I don’t have the time or the energy to continue my fan fiction, Blood Moon, even though I really, really want to. There just feels like so much going on at the moment and I can’t cope. Hugs and advice?
*hugss*
I’m so sorry you’re feeling this way, Nets. I’d suggest talking to your teachers or a trusted adult about your struggles in class. They may be able to help!
And you have no reason to feel guilty for not being as active. Real life comes first and we all need breaks sometimes. <3
Thanks <3
*hugs* I’m very sorry.
I won’t really go into detail, but things have been very stressful and overwhelming lately.
hugs/ words of encouragement/support would be appreciated <33
*hugsss*
I’m sorry Fern, I hope everything gets better. feel free to email me if you need someone to rant to <33 (my email is silverdusk131@gmail.com)
*hugss* Sending you my support! <3
I am just feeling kind of depressed about something. I just can’t stop thinking about it. And when I do I cry. I really wish that it could just disappear from my mind. I miss what it used to be…and I want it back sooo bad. Hugs?
I hope you feel better soon, Swiftie. I’m really sorry you’re feeling this way. Feel free to email me (silverdusk131@gmail.com).
*Hugs*
I’m sorry to hear this. *hugs*
*hugggggggggs*
I know what you feel like, I understand as I have been in a similar situation recently. It may seem like endless pain now, but it takes time to heal, so give it a while and know that we’re with you this whole time 💖🫂
*ULTRA HUG*
Uh.. so yeah… I got diagnosed with social anxiety disorder today. I’m not surprised or shocked, but I feel like my life is falling apart and I’m literally so sad and upset and I hate everything about myself and my stupid dumb personality and my stupid existence and I’m just so done with life.
Hey, having social anxiety is nothing to be ashamed of. It doesn’t make you stupid, believe me. (As someone who pretty much regularly gets anxious around others/new people, social anxiety makes you more concerned about how you’re coming off across to others, which is a smart thing to do in of itself. The problem is that social anxiety has too much weight and is rather uncontrollable when compared to basic conscientiousness.) And, social anxiety is not something that’s set in stone, either. Let me repeat that: It’s not something you will have for the rest of your life. I have diagnosed anxiety, and I’ve been making it better. I am striving for a time where I can say that I don’t have anxiety anymore, and you can get to that time, too. I managed to make some friends who know me for who I am and it means the world. I know it feels helpless – anxiety likes making you think that way – but it’s not, trust me, it’s not. *hugs* ❤️❤️
*Hugs*
You are amazing Breezo and such a good friend. You bring joy into everyone’s life and I can clearly see that on the blog. All your friends and family are lucky to have you around, I’m sure of it! Also, keep in mind that whenever your feeling down, you have a billion friends you can go to because I know that everyone on the blog this your absolutely wonderful, sweet and kind. Never forget that! <3333333
ILYSM Breezy! <3333
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
*hugs*
*hugsss*
I’m so sorry, Breezy. But you aren’t stupid or dumb. You have a beautiful, amazing personality and having social anxiety doesn’t change that. Now that you know you have it, you do research about it or talk to a therapist/psychologist/ counsellor about ways to cope.
As Snowy said, this isn’t set in stone. Your social anxiety can certainly get better. There’s nothing wrong with you Bree <333
Breezy, you’re not stupid or dumb. I’m so sorry that you feel this way. Just know that all of the big things you’re worth every piece of your existence! You seem to be going through some tough times, but you WILL be able to push through. You’re amazing, and it’s enchanting to meet YOU. I don’t remember who said this quote or where it came from, but it sounded kinda like this: Every good thing always has some bad things along the way. You WILL persevere. Hugss.🫂
Mood swings 😭 im right between spitting mad and jus depressed right now =,D
I’m very sorry you feel that way. *hugss!* <3
*hugs*
*Hugs*
Agh, that is the worst. I know how you feel, it’s almost like our hearts and brains can never make its mind up.
“Let’s be mad, but now let’s be depressed!”
I practically live in mood swings 24/7 and get punished and reprimanded because of it. It’s terrible.
If you want to vent to me, you can reach me at my wiki or my blog email, spiritflight.blogclan1@gmail.com
<33
Thank you so much 😭
okay well this is a lot.
first of all, a really good online friend had been ghosting me and cut me off in late february. she refuses to tell me why and i can’t let go because i just can’t even though all my friends tell me to. i just know i did something wrong and i don’t know what.
and then there’s my best friend. we took a shortcut outside to lunch at school and while we were waiting in line she said “i just whispered all my problems to the air” and i said “you can tell me your problems” and she plainly said “all my problems are centered around you” and turned her back then acted normal. i really don’t know what i’m doing wrong. plus the fact after class the other day i told her to wait for me and she said “i have places to be” and i asked where and she went “snack” even though we were both going there anyway. i know it was probably just a joke but it really hurt. and in history she just let someone take her spot next to me so i was just sitting alone at the end of a table. she just never waits for me either but gets mad when i try to leave without her. she’s in all my classes and all my other friends are in 0-1 of my classes. she leaves me alone in the halls and barely pays attention to me. please give advice or something anything 🙁
I’m really, really sorry. That sounds horrible. Sending you a million hugs, Corvus <3
Awhh, thats not very nice of any of them! If you ask me, you might wanna ignore the hurt from your online friend and focus on real life for now. Plus, i think it would be best if you made more friends! Some will back you up im sure! Your friend might be going through something and therefore not be as much as herself and more aggressive.
*HUGGOSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS*
That’s not your best friend.
I know that hurts to hear as someone who’s heard the same things before, but you need to get her out of your circle. If you “unfriend” her, so to speak, yes, you will be lonely, but you’ll feel so much better. You’ll miss her and hate her and love her at the same time, but it’s better than staying with that toxic friendship and feeling awful about yourself. You’ll regret wasting so much energy on that friendship but you’ll regret it even more if you continue wasting energy on it. Focus on learning during class, and make arrangements for someplace to meet your other friends after it. After time, you’ll either become closer with your other friends or make new, better friends, and you’ll feel so much happier with both yourself and your friendship.
How do I know all this is true?
I’ve been there myself. I’ve been in a very similar situation to you, and I felt so much better now that I don’t have to deal with my ‘friend’s’ toxicity. You will too.
Sending lots of warm hugs,
Ambi
So, one of my friends is really fast, but at one of our track meets she lost to a person which she was really disappointed about and I felt like there was a right thing to say but I didn’t say it or whatever and I feel like I just said all the wrong things and that she probably hates me now but that’s my mental train of thought whenever I feel like I’ve said something wrong in front of my friends and then I just get all weird and depressed and I feel like no one cares enough to ask if I’m okay and I feel like that’s probably pathetic and weird especially since I should realize they probably don’t hate me by now but also I feel like little things people say get to me like if my friends are joking with me I wonder if it’s actually deeper than I originally thought and it’s just ughhhh I hate that I think this way 😭
Sorry this is so long moddos
I’m very sorry. *hugs*
*Hugs*
I’m sorry about all that, Cedar. Life isn’t always fair to us, and when it comes to friends, it can be hard to properly give off the right impressions sometimes. Maybe try to talking to the track girl and try explaining that you hadn’t meant it that way. <33
I’m not feeling well recently, high school is getting harder and harder for me (not academics are tough). I feel very bad cause I am CONSTANTLY getting bullied for being a normal teen and the bullies, let’s just call her Angrypelt, keeps getting away with her constant bullying. It’s not my fault I always win the debates….(long story)
Hugs/advice?
*inhales* OMIGOSH TELL SOMEONE PLEASE BULLIES SHOULDNT GET AWAY WITH THAT! BEING NORMAL IS NOTHING TO BE ASHAMED OF AND YOURE JUST SMART FOR WINNING, IM HERE IF YOU NEED TO TELL THE BACKSTORY TO ANYONE!
*HUGSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS* * HUGSSSS*
*hugs* Bullies are the worst 🙁
*HUGS*
I’m so sorry, Spido! Bullies are so frustrating, it just doesn’t make sense how one can make others feel hurt only for their own amusement or seek of attention. If the bullying gets worse, I recommend reaching out to a trusted adult, teacher or even just a close friend to vent to. I am homeschooled, but I know high school is extremely tough, especially all the homework. I can barely get it all done sometimes, but don’t stress yourself out. Take a breather and do it one step at a time, and always remember, your mental health comes first. Don’t take advantage of it, though.
Good luck <33
I really need some hugs.
hugs <33
Lotsa hugs for Lem <33

im scared for vocal today.
Last week i got yelled at for no reason. I wanna go because I have a song I need to sing for next week (easter) so yea.
Plus my mom alr said im going so idk.
Reefpaw is being a jerk again. A few weeks ago she was talking to me but that same sunday, she skipped teens and showed up for youth volleyball. I was like are you fr. You’re supposed to be sick or wtv. But whatever. She’s not talking to me so im being petty about it and leaving her snaps on delivered for long periods of time. Lets see how she likes that. Im not making any more excuses for her behavior. I don’t care if she doesn’t like me. Clearly she just needs me when shes bored and has nobody to talk to. Well i’ve decided to grow a backbone. Im not being nice to her. I’ve made excuses for her for like, 3 years. Crying and wondering why she doesn’t like me as a friend anymore. Im over her. And if she even tries to be all buddy buddy to me im blocking her on everything.
OMG I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND YOUR REEFPAW SITUATION 😭😭😭
