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 have a corn on my foot with minor internal bleeding and I’m going to see the doctor tomorrow. I’m really worried they’ll have to do surgery or something—not because of the actual procedure, but because of the anesthetic. I absolutely DESPISE anesthetics, and shots in general.
Hugs/advice/prayers please 🙁
*hugsss* i fully agree with you on this one. i’m getting braces soon, but before i get them on, i need four teeth pulled. and they’re gonna put a shot in my mouth 😭😭😭 i totally get you, shots suck :/ hopefully you won’t need surgery and all of that can be avoided!
Omg I get you on that :C I hope you can get through it— *hugs* *hugs* *hugs*
*HUGSS*
*huggos* I hope you don’t have to go through surgery, and that even if you do, everything goes smoothly <33
*hugs* All of that must suck, and shots are scary. Sorry that I don’t have must advice but *prayers*
*Hugs* Sorry to hear that Reedy 🙁
Thanks everyone <3 Doctor appointment in one hour so I guess then we’ll know…
*hugs* I hope it goes well! Fingers crossed that you don’t need an operation <3333
*hugs*
*hugs* <3
Hope it all goes well :\
*HUGGOSSS*
UPDATE: NO SURGERY NEEDED :DDDDDDDDDDDD
Yayy!! 😀
Heya, everyone… Wolfpaw here. I’ve been on the blog for almost three years,but I’ve only been on a few secret pages for a while so no one remembers me lol, and I’m just having my self loathing struggles and living as a closeted enby. (Even writing this right now my brain is saying that I don’t deserve to be taking up space on the hug page, this is a first world privileged person problem and there are people starving and having their dogs put down and having trust broken and stuff…)
Hugs???
This is extremely relatable, sending a million hugs your way :’)
*hugs* don’t say you don’t deserve to be here, you have every right and reason to be. sending lots and lots of hugs <33
*hugs* Of course you deserve to be on the hug page! If you’re feeling unhappy then we’re always here for you <3333
*Hugs*
The hug page is open to everyone <3 No matter whether you feel inactive or are starving or got betrayed or anything else, ALL problems are problems, which is why the hug page is here.
*hugs*
the hug page is for everyone <3 sending a million bear hugs <33
*Hugs* I second what everyone has already said; you deserve to be here if you are upset, no matter the reason <33
Aww Wolfie, I’m really sorry you’re feeling like this <33 I can assure you that you matter just as much as anyone else, and your struggles have just as much of a right to be shared as any of the other struggles on here! We all love you very much and I can definitely confirm that many people remember you–myself included! I hope you feel better soon, sending lots and lots of huggles <333
*hugs* *hugs* *hugs* I can relate. We’re all here for you <33
I’m so tired of my Spanish class.
The teacher assigns a lot of homework. (She’s that one teacher that thinks that gives us homework like we have no other classes) and in that homework, she asks a lot of questions about politics, current events, and heavy topics that ADULTS have a hard time answering in their native language, let alone a language their learning in SCHOOL. She also shows heavy bias and sort of dumps her baggage about this issue on me? I’d be fine with it but the way she writes the instructions and the questions it’s like she expects me to have whatever she thinks is the right answer.
Today, she gave me some questions relating to bullying and domestic violence, and that was stepping over a line for me. I’m a child, and I’m just so tired of constantly filling out these questions that are really uncomfortable and even sometimes put me in a vulnerable spot.
Hugs?
*Hugs* Maybe try talking to a school counselor about it, or maybe even the principle
*HUGGOS* that stinks :/
sending hugs <33
*hugs* Maybe discuss this with your parents/a trusted adult?
Hey guys. i Don’t want to go into detail, but i would appreciate some hugs pls
*hugs and cookies* 🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪
*Hugs* I hope you feel better soon <33
*HUGGOS* good luck with whatever problems life is throwing at you!! <33
*hugs*
*huggos* I hope everything turns out okay <3
*hugs*
*hugs*
Hey yall…
I think i have ADHD. I’ve been finding it harder and harder to focus in school. (Yes ik there r different ADHD sympthoms) I’ve also been very figety lately and I have found it hard to stay still for long periods of time… Im also scared to tell my mom bc i dont want her to worry abt me. She already has a lot on her plate and i dont wanna burden her… 🙁
Hugs? Advice?
*hugs* I think you should tell your mom. It’s really important for you to do well in school, and even if your mom has a lot going on, I’m sure she’ll want to help you. You’re not being a burden by asking for help when you need it.
*hugs* Is there another trusted adult you could talk to about this?
*hugs hugs hugs*
it’s a really big relief but also burden in a way to find out you have adhd, and i definitely feel for you as someone who has investigated/questioned many disorders. (i settled on inattentive adhd but i need to get diagnosed– that’s a whole other thing)
i think the best option is to tell an adult. it doesn’t necessarily have to be your mom, but if there’s no other adults you trust, it might be a good choice. even if you feel like you’re burdening her, please remember that you deserve to take up some of her mental capacity. if it’s possible, maybe a solution would be to wait until your mom is less stressed or has less on her plate, but if it’s urgent or severely impacting you, you should definitely tell her. i don’t think she’ll mind but rather be grateful you reached out.
sorry if i sounded rambly or repetitive
*hugs again*
(btw, is the quote in your name from Hu Tao in Genshin Impact??? coooool!)
Got problems and I’m acting too tough abt it to vent my feelings to someone or show it.
1. My mom and best friend Sweetpaw have depression. It sucks. Both of them faced attacks (like Sweetpaw’s attack I have posted previously) and NO ONE got punished in the end.
2. I’ve had nightmarish dreams.
My insecurities love to come to life in dreams such as me in a falling elevator and coming out in a different dimension in which the Middle East took over everything (it was weirdly pleasant and peaceful there but mega hot) In the same dream before the falling elevator scene all my friends or random people I cared about got shut away from me from electronic doors because the doors closed too quickly as we were heading to the 1st floor. They told me we would meet up since there were other elevators, but then I got sucked in another dimension. I just feel powerless helping Sweetpaw and it frustrates me. (I know what the dreams mean btw)
*hugs* It can be really hard to have family/friends with depression, and it can feel like you can’t do anything to help, but just try to support them, and be there for them <33
*hugs* *hugs*
I need hugs. For a while, I haven’t been feeling… as… accepted on the blog as I thought I would be. Not trying to be Debbie Downer, but I just don’t feel as if I have many friends. Also, i have a vent. yesterday, i found my older sister’s diary. in one of the newer entries, towards the back of the book, it said, “My mom says vix is really smart, but I think she has the iq of a rock. which probably means there’s a smart rock walking around somewhere.” this hurt me. a lot. even though it was a while ago, it still hurt me, because she was basically saying i switched brains with a rock. I really felt like crying. even though it was a long time ago, i’m still hurt by it. also, another entry said, “Vix is SUCH a CRYBABY. Earlier, we asked her where a crayon was, and she started crying.” It made me really mad. even though i was young when she wrote that, it made me want to cry again. Anyway, sorry for taking up so much space. Hugs to anyone who needs them <3
I’m disgusted by the way I look :’3
I sometimes get these confidence boosts where I think I’m the prettiest girl in the world but not right now
I could use some hugs :’3
*hugs*
*hugs*
You are ✨BEAUTIFUL✨
Do not going around saying you aren’t because I KNOW you are ✨BEAUTIFUL✨
If you do say that you aren’t that makes you think that you aren’t even though you are ✨BEAUTIFUL✨
If someone told you that you aren’t (do me a favor and tell me where they are /j) they just have bad judgement and can’t tell if someone is ✨BEAUTIFUL✨ or not (spoiler alert: they were beautiful)
So remember that you are ✨💅BEAUTIFUL💅✨
Wise words right here ^^
Aww
(HUGOS) 10000000000000000x cookies
<3
*hugs* I’m sure you’re beautiful Jackie <33333
*Hugs* Don’t say that about yourself! You are beautiful no matter what, and looks shouldn’t change anything <3
*hugssss*
Jacki, I’m so sorry you feel this way. I assure you that everyone gets these feelings of insecurity about themselves– even the prettiest girls you know. I understand how difficult it can be to feel pretty, especially when seeing a lot of seemingly perfect people irl and online. But you are gorgeous and brilliant and lovely. Even if you don’t feel that way sometimes. Remember that your face is a mixture of a whole line of people. If you hate your eyes, you could be hating on the eyes your great great grandma had and passed down to you. Also, on a similar note, what helps me is to imagine my daughter getting the features I have that I hate. Would I be degrading myself for looking like this if my child looked the same way? Would I think she looked ‘ugly’ too?
And at the end of the day, remember that you are more than what you look like. You are defined by your personality, the way you treat people, your hobbies and interests. The way you laugh, your favourite season, all the joy and love you have in your heart. Never allow yourself to be reduced to something as unimportant as your body, which will one day cease to exist. Beauty fades, what is beneath stays. Enjoy life and do not dwell on things you cannot change <3
JACKIIII NOOOOOO DONT SAY THAT TO YOURSELF YOU ARE GORGEOUS GIRLY AAAAAAAAAAAH
*Huggos to the power of 10000000*
as Dawny said, YOU ARE ✨BIUTIFULLLLL✨
DO.
NOT.

*Hugs*
You are beautiful. You have and always will be beautiful.
You are also your worst critic. Don’t let the negative side of you take control of you.
Here are some cookies: 🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪
AHEM
Welcome to cheeso’s preppy things
Coughs
You aren’t ugly or whatever, because that actually scientifically doesn’t exist :3 it’s just some peeps think U look ugly, which is bc they r jealous, also it’s an opinion nawt a fact
So yes ur bootiful
just like me*huuuuggggggsss*
*hugs*
don’t think that about yourself jacki!! i’m sure you’re beautiful <33
*Hugs* Don’t ever feel that way. You are BEUTIFUL!!!
*hugs
Jacki you’re Beautiful!*hugs*
*hugs* I get you buddy, it happens to me sometimes. But you shouldn’t feel like that because you are ✨BEAUTIFUL✨.
I know you’re ✨BEAUTIFUL✨
So start believing that you’re ✨BEAUTIFUL✨.
<333
*hugs*
Don’t say things like that about yourself! You are definitely beautiful <33333
*hugs* I think you are beautiful, but remember it’s not all about looks, even though that’s what the world wants you to think so you buy expensive products. Even if your not the prettiest girl in school on the outside, what matters is your beautiful on the inside.
Not the worst problem of all time, but my sibling is so annoying. They have to be where I am unless I’m not in my room, and when they’re in the same room as me they annoy me to the point I just go back to my room. I just need five minutes to be anywhere else in the house and not have you constantly needing to be where I am to annoy me.
*hugsss*
I’m sorry. Maybe talk to your sibling about this and if they don’t listen, then talk to your parents? I hope they stop soon. ❤️
Thank you!
*mega huggos* ugh, I can relate soo much :(( I have 2 younger siblings and MY GOODNESS ARE THEY ANNOYING. If your sibling isn’t already aware of this, maybe try telling them how annoyed you are by the things they do? However if they’re being annoying intentionally (much like my siblings 😛 ), I’d talk to your parents about it and see if they can talk some sense into your sibling. Sorry I don’t have much advice, but I hope things get better with you and your sibling! <3
Thanks! They said they’d stop a couple days ago, but they really haven’t tired to. I hope it’ll get better when we can go back to school.
sending hugs <33
Thanks!
*hugs*
Thank you!
*hugs* I think this is true with most siblings (from my experience anyway) 😛 I hope things get better soon <3
Thanks Honeybeam!
Could you maybe try locking the door to your room/telling your parents about the issue?
*hugs*
Thanks Reedough!
*Hugs* Sometimes I feel the same way about my brother too. I second Silv’s advice <33 I hope you feel better soon Mapey
*hugs*
I know how you feel. It gets annoying.
Feel free to borrow my Dawn gun to make them worship you so you can tell them to go away 😀
Thanks Dawny! I pulled off my master plan on them earlier today and I don’t think they’ll be trying to annoy me for a little while.
I must ask, what was your master plan?
*hugs*
I can relate. My sibling is so annoying and she makes fun of whatever I say and says it’s ‘CrInGeY’
*hugs
*hugs*
I know sibilings be so annoying 😩
I feel your pain. 🍪🍪
*hugs*
I really need hugs right now. I just blocked my friend (who I’ll call Lilypaw) because she made really hurtful jokes and made my best friend feel really bad. She also is now saying stuff about me now that I blocked her. But like, I’m glad I blocked her before she could have hurt me. :’)
*Hugs* I’m sorry about that, but it’s good you’ve cut ties with her.
*Hugs*
Good job on making the right decision <3 Some people are just toxic and intent on bringing down others, so it’s best to distance yourself from them before they can hurt you, as you said. Remember, there ARE better friends out there waiting for you.
*hugs*
*hugsss*
Taking the initiative to remove toxic people from your life can be really hard. Well done for blocking Lilypaw <3 I hope you and your best friend feel much happier without her around you.
sending hugs <33
*HUGS* I’m sorry she’s being mean to you, but it was good and brave of you to block her. <3
*Hugs*
*hugs*
People like that don’t deserve to be friends with you. <3
*hugs
It was really brave of you to do that, Silvy.
*hugs*
*hugs* It’s good you blocked her if she’s being mean to you <3333
Thank you everyone for all the hugs <3
*hugs* she sounds like such a fairweather friend and Im glad you made the right decision <3
So, my sorta friend who I’ll call Cowkit, she said some mean things about my mom, she said my mom mistreats us and yells at us, and she does NOT. For one, every mom yells at their kid/s at some point, and I don’t know where Cowkit got the idea she mistreats us, but she doesn’t. Yeah, she’s kinda strict, but so is Cowkit’s mom! And my mom helped Cowkit with a bunch of things, like deciding between the high school cabin or the girls cabin (we were at a overnight camp), and when a younger girl got sick in the night.
It just makes me really mad, because she has no right to say those things about my mom.
Hugs/advice?
*hugs*
Tell your mom. That is outright rude.
*hugs*
Let your mom know about this
*huggos*
Sending hugs <33
*Hugs*
*Hugs* I don’t really have a relatable story, but I know how it feels to have someone saying stuff like that about someone you care about.
*hugsssssss* that sounds so frustrating! *hugs*
I’m sickkkkkk
I mean, it’s not that bad, probably just a viral infection, but still, it’s annoying, and I hate how I slept half of today, even though it was probably necessary. I also wanna be better by monday bc then I have musical repetition and the repetitions of last week were canceled, so I’ve been really looking forward to it :((
Hugs please?<3
*Hugs* I hope you get better soon!
*Hugs* That absolutely sucks! I hope you feel better ASAP <33
*hugsss*
Being sick is awful. 🙁 I also hate sleeping in too late, but remember that it was your body recharging so it can get off the infection better. ❤️ I hope you feel better soon, Fal <3
*hugs*
Same
I had a really bad cough last Sunday and it stayed a while it sucks but it happens 🙁
Hope you feel better ❤️
*hugss*
