@Redemption i can't sleep until my brother goes to sleep just in case he has violent headbanging meltdown and I have to respond quickly. Not that I can respond as quickly as usual with a broken fricking leg 😂
@DonnerKebab must be extremely hard , I hope he got some sleep and you did too.
@Redemption I'm used to it thanks, have been since i was 11, it's just that doing it with a broken leg is new 😂 I fell over trying to sort out one of his meltdowns last night. But we both got sleep thankfully, him at 3, me at half 3
@DonnerKebab still can be hard though, its good you do all of this though. You ok now?

updateee - my last day is now sunday, i wasn’t at all expecting that to be the outcome since we are meant to give 1 months notice and sunday is 4 days away lol so as much as i am relieved, im also kinda sad?
@shannon_164 well done. I know it's a really anxiety ridden thing sending in a resignation text, and i'm so happy it went well for you. It's normal to feel a sense of sadness when leaving any workplace, because it's a change from normality and there's small things you'll miss from it, but you have to remind yourself, your moving to a better workplace, to bigger and better things elsewhere.
thank you @DonnerKebab
i know that in the long run, it is what is best for me, but i’m still feeling a little sad:( 2 more shifts to go then i am freeeee lol i thought the same when i left my last job, but i soon got over it haha

Re: im nothing (tw - death)
Hi @toffuna101 , thank you for sharing this post. Some really powerful and strongly felt words here. What did these parts of the TV show bring up for you?
We're here and we're listening.

Re: TW// child abuse vent!!!
@River , thank you so much for sharing this with us. Your voice holds so, so much power. And I have goosebumps reading what you've written here.
As Shannon has said, no one ever had a right to treat you that way. And it sounds like reconnecting with your mum has been a very complex and difficult experience, especially when there has been no change in her behaviour. That sounds so disappointing, and I hear how this has left you having to reconcile with so much from your childhood too.
How did it feel to write these words, River?

Re: TW mentions of weight
hey @Summerjune15
I can hear how frustrating and disheartening it must have been to have your mum react that way, especially when you were so close to getting a medication you believe could really help. It sounds like she cares deeply about your health and is concerned about potential side effects, but I can also see just how important this medication is to you—especially if she felt she had to hide your passport. That shows a lot about how determined you are to start taking it.
It’s really good to hear that, despite all the uncertainty around what the doctors might prescribe, you’re still pushing through and going to your appointment. I really hope they take your concerns seriously and listen to how you feel this medication could positively impact your life.
Did you end up going to the appointment today? How did it go for you?

Re: Anybody want to vent or chat about anything?
@River I have, just waiting for it to kick in. I fell over like an idiot trying to get my brothers helmet on him to cushion his headbanging and knocked all my leg in the process. I thought it would go away after an hour but clearly not. 😭
Can't you take barney with you 😂?
