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
Hugs to anybody who needs them <3333
I feel very misunderstood by my family. I don’t feel as close to certain people in my family as much as I used to be (specifically my dad and my older sister Leafshine). I tried explaining this to my mom when she was talking about my birthday party (she told me I likely couldn’t have it at my local arcade like I wanted because Leafshine has sensory issues) and I mentioned that I just didn’t feel as close to her as I used to. We don’t have much in common anymore and I feel like if she wasn’t my sister I wouldn’t really go out of my way to be friends with her either?? Ik that sounds mean but we don’t share any interests with each other anymore and she’s become a bit of a bully to other students. I told my mom that I felt closer to my oldest stepsister Kestreldawn because we have more in common, similar interests and personalities, and my mom basically got really upset because “I’m not focusing on the positives of Leafshine and I’m dogging on her too much and should be kinder to her than what I’m currently being” all for not being as close to Leafshine as I used to be? And that was when she got frustrated with me and didn’t really hear me out. I genuinely don’t even know how to reconnect with Leafshine because we don’t really have anything we can bond over now 🙁 Also my dad bothered me about college for the 7262829304825417288352628899th time and I’m so over him and his constant nagging me about it and him giving me unsolicited advice that I never asked for so that was lovely /s
Also another problem is that as some of you might know, I have really really really bad emetophobia (fear of vomiting). And my anxiety related to vomiting is so bad that I’m struggling to really eat much because every time I eat I get a tiny stomach ache or worry that every meal might cause me to vomit. Don’t worry, I don’t have an eating disorder by any means and I’m still healthy but I genuinely don’t know if I have a stomach issue or if my anxiety is just playing tricks on me once again.
Third, planning for my birthday is stressing me out because I can’t have my original plan due to a lot of reasons and now I have to switch and change everything up kinda last minute and I STILL have no idea what I even really want to do for it because I’m a massive procrastinator and the restaurant I normally go to shut down a while back so that’s not fun :(((
And to top it all off I have an important test tomorrow morning that I’m stressed about and it’s a no school day so I’m kinda feeling dead right now 🫠
Hugs/advice would be appreciated <3333
*hugsss* I’m sorry about the Leafshine thingy, families can be difficult like that sometimes. And your phobia sounds tough. Also good luck on that test! <33
HUGS Breezeflame! Good luck on your test!
Sending hugs breezo!! I honestly don’t have much advice but I hope things get better for you! <33
I feel like Leafshine but hugggggggggs and happy early birthday!
I’m sorry all that’s going on Breezo, it sounds like a lot to handle all at once. * ∞ hugs * good luck on your exam tomorrow, I’m sure you’ll do great!
*Hugs*
Hugssss it sounds tough, but I’m sure you can get through it! 🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪
*hugs* good luck on that test breezo! I’m really sorry about the whole situation with leafshine 🙁 And I feel for you since I have emetophobia too! Just make sure that you wash your hands before every meal, and you should be safe from any stomach bugs 🙂 I hope you feel better soon <33
*hugs*

Hi…Do y’all remember me? I was formerly Dreamrose(The ultimate name changer. I think I used to be Rosepaw, Aspenpaw, Frostpaw, and Streampaw. HOW DID I REMEMBER ALL THAT?! It’s been 3 months…wow…)Call me Dreamsy, Wisty, or Cherry.
Anyway…I’m just feeling a bit sad right now. Remember my crush Ravenpaw? WE’RE DATING NOW! But…I’m really scared to tell my friends about us…Now that it’s winter break week for me, I have sometime to think. Any advice? Or hugs?
*hugs*
First of all, I’m so happy you’re back! And second, you don’t have to tell anyone about it if you don’t want to <3 Take your time and it'll come evntually <3
*hugs* I unfortunately don’t have any advice but to tell them, maybe do it together, you and Ravenpaw? Good luck <33
HUGS Dreamsy!
I’m sorry, I haven’t got any advice but I hope things get better!
I remember you ofc! I hope your day gets a lil brighter 🙂 I’m glad you’re excited about that, I think that you shouldn’t feel obligated to tell your friends but also if you want to, that’s up to you. Probably consult Ravenpaw first just to make sure they’re ok with it. Have a fun / relaxing winter break! *hugs*
*hugs* it’s so great to see you back! first of all, congrats, I’m so glad you got to start dating him! second of all, you don’t have to tell people if you’re uncomfortable, the time will probably come that you feel safe to say it :3 I hope you figure things out soon <33
*hugs* I don’t have any advice, sorry 🙁
Hugs! You don’t have to tell anyone that you are, only if you’re comfortable 🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪
*hugs* I don’t have much advice, but I say you don’t have to tell any friends if you don’t feel comfortable yet <33
*hugs*
like a lot of other people said, you dont have to tell them if you dont feel comfortable! hope everything turns out alright! <3
Guys, I’m so sorry to bother you with yet another vent but I really need some advice and hugs.
Firstly, in Arabic we have to write and memorize a speech, and our arabic teacher gave us two days which are up! She took our books in. Me and my bestie aren’t finished because it was group work and you have to write the truth and I don’t know a lot about where she likes to shop and stuff and she was busy 24/7!
Then today in PE, we were put with these jerks because our other friends didn’t want be and my bestie 😭😭😭😭 and those other kids were mean to us and kept laughing at us, finally my bestie got mad at me and them and she smacked a ball onto my nose. She apologized later and said it was an accident but if it was why didn’t she apologize earlier?
And she almost punched the jerks and got so mad at them. If she’d punched them I’d be in trouble too, so I’m scared that her anger issues are going to hurt me seriously or get me into trouble sometime.
And it also hurts that our friends didn’t argue when one of them said that we couldn’t come with them. She called us useless when she literally is as bad as us at the game and we always help her with math at things!
I’m also getting pimples on my forehead and literally everybody arounds me acts disgusted at them.
Also I’m so stressed about schoolwork lately my grades are going down and tommorow I have two exams!
HUGE HUGS AND COOKIES 🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪 to anyone who needs them!
Advice? Hugs? Cookies?
Edit: No way. This does NOT deserve a page flip!
I don’t have any advice, that sounds like a pretty complicated situation and I probably don’t have enough experience with such things to give quality advice, but I hope your exams go well and I have plenty of cookies!
🍪 🍪 🍪 🍪 🍪 🍪 🍪 🍪 🍪 🍪
Ty! The spanish exam was pretty bad but I think the science one went fine! And the cookies are scrumptious!
*hugsss* I don’t have much advice to give, sorry 🙁 I can tell you tho, I don’t think people care one bit about the pimples, even if it might feel that way. Also remember you are beautiful no matter what! <33
Thanks Jacki! Honestly it’s my dad who keeps fussing over the pimples but you made me feel way better (like the blog always does)!
Off it deserves a page flip! It’s fine, everyone gets pimples and other than that, I don’t really have much advice sorry HUGS!
Thanks Breezy!
*hugs*
Ty Kik!
This does deserve a page flip! Im so sorry this happened to u, tho I don’t have any advice :(( 🍪🍪🍪 hugs Ivsie!

I’m fully aware Valentine’s Day has passed but alas I cannot help my WiFi troubles :3
Such a romanticized holiday can make people feel lonely or badly about themselves, I know it certainly makes me feel alone every time someone makes another Valentine’s Day post. Whether you’re spending Valentine’s Day with a partner, friends, family, or by yourself, it’s important to recognize that Valentine’s Day should be about love in general, including the special bond I think everyone on BlogClan shares. It’s wonderful that we’re given the opportunity to meet up online like this and share our ideas and find common opinions or debate contrasting ones. I don’t know a single warriors fan irl and I couldn’t be happier that I found the Blog.
I know it’s easy to feel lonely on a day like
todayValentine’s Day when everyone’s focusing on couples, but I want you to know that each of you brings something special and unique to the Blog, you are important to us here, and it wouldn’t be the same without you. We’ll always be here for you not just on a special day like today but everyday. I love you guys so much <3 /platCheers to the support we give as a community, our friendships, and the strong bonds that keep us connected no matter what (:
(I’m sorry if that’s cheesy guys I just appreciate you all and want you to know it)
aww this made me so happy on a hard day! ilyt Skyshine /plat
Awww Sky that’s so sweet <3 You're very right, many of people don't have a SO to focus on. It should be about everyone!
<3333
aw thank you for this kind message! <3
Amazing post Sky <33
Ty Skyie!
Tysm Skyshine, I love the blog as well and I agree <33
anxiety and paranoia suck :C
I feel like i’ve tried everything to get rid of it but nothing’s really working. I’ve gotten a little better than last year, but idk I just feel really horrible all the time and I’m sick and tired of it
sending hugs foamy!! <333 That sounds really stressful and hard but you can get through it! Maybe look into counseling/therapy? Either way, the blog is here to support you!
HUGS Foampaw!
They certainly aren’t fun ): I also have anxiety and currently I’m trying to talk to a therapist for it, have you tried going to therapy or counseling like Drifter said? I’ve only had a few weeks of therapy so I can’t really tell if it’s helping or not yet, but I bet it would be worth a shot if you haven’t tried it yet. Remember how far you’ve come with dealing with this and know that you’re doing great! *hugs*
*HUGGSS*
I know how you feel, but sadly I don’t have any advice 🙁 Hopefully you find a solution!
*hugs* That sounds really rough, Foamy, I’m sorry you’re going through that. Could you maybe see a counselor or therapist? Either way, I hope you feel better soon <33
*hugs*
*HUGGSS* Like Drifter and Redz said, maybe try counseling or therapy? I hope you find a solution soon foamy <33
*hugsssss* I’m sorry about that, Foamy, it must be awful 🙁
hi guys, im feeling down for reasons i dont feel comfortable specifying. hugs would be appreciated. <3
*sends hugs and cookies* Hope you feel better soon <33
*HUGS* and some cookies for good measure <3 🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪
*hugs hugggssssss* Hope you feel better soon Kiki ♥
HUGS Kiki!
*hugsssssssss*
My mental health is so bad right now for no reason and I don’t know how to handle it anymore, my mysophobia is taking over and I can’t control my emotions and I’m so scared that it’s going to get worse and I don’t know what to do
Tell someone, please, right now. Tell a trusted adult, like a parent or guardian or school counselor, who can get you into therapy and/or the helpful resources needed. You do not have to handle this alone, nor should you. Wishing nothing but the best for you, Cinder. <33
*hugs hugs hugs hugs* I second what Snowy said, wishing the best for you Cinders <333
*hugs* Please tell an adult you can trust so you can get help. You don’t have to go through this alone. Hope things get better soon <33
*hugs*
i dont have any advice for you, but snowy gave good advice. <3
HUGS Cinderspark! I agree with Snowy, you deserve to be happy!
*hugssssssss* like Snowy said, you should definitely talk to someone. Good luck <333333
