You’re not broken.

What By a Thread Is

A calm, grounded space to breathe again.

By a Thread is a quiet, non-judgemental space for people who are coping on the outside but feeling worn down inside.

It’s for those navigating anxiety, stress, burnout, loneliness, intrusive thoughts, or the quiet weight of holding everything together — often without feeling able to talk about it elsewhere.

Here, there’s no pressure to explain yourself or have the right words.
You can read, reflect, or simply sit with something that resonates, without being analysed, fixed, or told what you should be doing.

Spending time with By a Thread is about feeling a little less alone, a little more steady, and a little clearer — at your own pace, and in your own way.

For some people, that starts quietly here.
For others, it continues through the shared moments and conversations in the By a Thread TikTok community — a place where many realise they’re not the only ones feeling this way. There’s no expectation to post or engage, only the option to connect if and when it feels right.

People come to By a Thread when they:

• Feel overwhelmed, anxious, or burnt out and don’t want to offload on friends or family
• Are tired of pretending they’re fine and want somewhere they don’t have to perform
• Need a calm, private space to make sense of what’s going on in their head and heart
• Want gentle reassurance that what they’re feeling is shared by others
