I live in a youth homeless hostel and I feel like a walking stigma

Re: Idk what to do anymore (TW- mention of SH/SI and ED)
hi @Blue_lily the emotions I was processing were very intense.
I have felt like that a lot recently
Sorry for the late reply, the day after it was very exhausting mentally and physically and that’s been like that for the last couple days
Re: Just don't want to be here anymore
Hi @Blue_lily
Thanks for reply. Yes you are right. The appeal, I literally felt hopeful for it and was really hoping to get the job back vut i haven't got that and nor do I have any answers- 0. Everything in my appeal was ignored it was a very genetic letter that just copied and pasted bits and was rushed. I wrote a while 13 page summary. Ive sent them a very formal email asking for how my appeal points were considered- including why was occupational health ignored? Why was adjustments not given time? Why wasn't i told i won't pass. What exactly are my performance concerns.
Its hard, feels so deflating. I miss being there in a way, the role, some of tge supportive and happy moments ive had there. Its hard..
Ive had that and other stuff has happened and its just too much...
Im trying to take sometime to myself in afternoon when house is calmer to do whatever I sant- drawing, diamond art and the volunteer coordinator where I volunteer has said she wants me to send her pics when done to try and motivate me. The volunteer place is the only thing keeping me here...

I love ribs and its a nicer experience food in a restaurant eating in, like the presentation of it served on a platter. I hope you enjoyed it
Re: Anybody want to vent or chat about anything? w/c 16.02.26
went out for dinner to a nice restaurant with my family. i had some ribs with mash potatoes and gravy which was so good. for the drink i had some coca cola and for dessert i had a warm chocolate brownie with some vanilla ice cream.

I had an advanced payment with job centre but paid it back, I was getting insurance quotes for a cooper s its not too bad but I might have to have a black box which would be a bummer, I have one atm and its fustrating having one but not a deal breaker. I want to move forward, I want to good stuff this year, even though I don't wanna go on holidays on land its just I remember once, I went to one and I felt just trapped there in a room in a different country, no wi fi , it felt like prison kind of, I might be being a bit dramatic there but it did feel trapped. At the same time I don’t want to sit at home until Im 60. I want to experience something that I like.

@Redemption If you get black box insurance try Hastings Direct. They're very lenient - so you won't get insurance cancelled for going 3 miles over the speed limit - and it's still on the cheaper side.
