Re: The role of support group moderators
This has been a very sudden change and while it sounds like it might work really well in the long term, last night was strange and made me very anxious. The mods clearly wanted to say more but weren’t allowed. It’s a shame as I think both kinds of support are important
And it’s just not the same and wasn’t a gradual change like the last time this was trialled a few years ago and didn’t work.

degree apprenticeship
alternatively to open university, ive been thinking about doing a degree apprenticeship since you get paid to work and study at the same time. ive been thinking about doing a solicitor apprenticeship in particular i know those are competitive like most degree apprenticeships.
Re: sixth form

Re: Im just tired.
Thanks again @Gemma 
I guess idk though i feel like i just dont matter as much as everything else
Ill be doing a T level in early years education and childcare. So basically to get the qualification for working with 3 or 4 months - 5 years and then i can use that to possibly get into uni for primary teaching afterwards.

Re: Topic-specific support group this Thursday: University!
alright thanks for elaborating with that. @Gemma
being aggressive
If you are brought up around people who are angry quickly and resort to violence, do you think you are likely to grow up to be that way as well?
Men in my life are aggressive and very angry all of the time. They love fighting and being strong so much, they are always boxing the air or flexing their (sometimes none existent) muscles. It makes me cringe but I saw my 1 year old cousin do it yesterday.
When my dad was alive I remember feeling so safe with him I could say anything. He used to get aggressive and hot headed but I would remind him to calm down and he would apologise. I cant do that with other people because they don't listen the way my dad did.
I think my dad was a good person who wanted to be good and calm but didn't know how because of the people he was brought up around.
How can I make sure I'm not the same ?
I am feeling very down right now. I remember last time I felt real down I snapped at someone. But I feel like I want to cry idk why and now its making me feel angry with myself. but i don't think I am angry. just sad I think
i want to be a good and kind person. Mam said I'm very like my dad and my uncle said my dad was more of a man. I would like to be like my dad but more able to control how I feel but still able to be a man.

Re: The role of support group moderators
I dont know if it exists already but maybe there could be like a guide / advice / tips on supporting other people. I don’t think I’m very good at it at all and I’d like to know how to make more of a difference if I can.

You said ‘one of the requested tests’ so I’m assuming they’re testing for multiple things. Maybe ovarian cancer is the least likely possibility and they just threw it in as a bonus because why not test for it if they’re testing for other things too. I’m not sure. I hope they don’t take a long time to give you the results, and I really hope it’s nothing serious. We’re here for you if you want to talk about it
thankyou sm
full blood count with two cancer blood tests requested. i wish i never looked lol. thankyou i dont see her til 19th sadly.

Re: The role of support group moderators
Love this ❤️ I might make a post or two about peer support to see if I can offer up any tips for anyone, I know it can be daunting to start off with. I always worried I would upset people, say the wrong things etc. but in reality just a simple message that you're thinking of them, that you care, and they matter can be enough.
If you want to offer further support ask open ended questions to keep the conversation going like "how are you feeling after all that?" Or "Is there anything that makes you feel better when you feel like this?" Etc 😊
