Best Of

hey🙂

i just wanted to make this thread as i know for many people that mothers day can be an incredibly difficult day, for several different reasons - whatever your reason is for finding the day hard, please know that it is valid. if you’re finding the day hard, you’re not alone with that!

for me personally, i have quite a difficult relationship with my mum, so on mothers day when i see everyone sharing all their ‘happy mothers day’ posts on social media hits me hard and i just think about how much i wish that i had a good relationship with my mum, although i know a lot of social media is fake as people tend to only post the highs in life, but regardless of that, it still hurts a little.

if you need a little extra support on mother’s day, please do reach out, you are SO deserving of support! ive added some helplines here for anyone who needs them:

to whoever is reading this, im so proud of you

Last year during my summer, my family has had a massive falling out in regards to wedding plans, leading to my oldest brother cutting us off for months and having arguments every now and then.

We’ve been trying everything to make amends, but my dad is in the way. He’s unwilling to forgive what my oldest brother has done and it’s causing us to get further and further away.

My family is constantly talking about this issue. And I’m worried I’m gonna lose my brother. I can’t stop crying about it.

Hey @shannon_164 , thank you for replying..

Yeah the people on bus were not very helpful, no one was willing to let me sit down despite me wearing a visible sunflower lanyard. They give up spaces to elderly and those with physical accessories to aid mobility but its fustrating it's get neglected when it perhaps isn't as noticeable visible even if you weear a lanyard to make aware.. but the people who stopped why om atleadt grateful for other - feel so bad for not being able to say thank you to them! Other than that man 1 who decided to touch and attempt to carry me. That was horrible! 😶‍🌫️

My line manager his on leave atm but the shift manager yeah she made adjustments and let me stay upstairs where there is no music as she understood thod can be trigger when im already a bit fragile. I did say though when she took me aside when I arrived that the music it going to unsettle when I'm already fragile. I guerdd I'm jusy embarrassed and scared of my line manager reaction and what's he going to think? I was thinking of asking the shift manager whether I should make my line manager aware of what happened or whether she will let him know but didn't.ask. I domt really know how to ask her now? I won't see her and dont really want to message her.
I'm also worried I'm making a big deal. I don't jnoww thoygh because it affected my ability to work my duties- went in an hour late due to this. Then had to go into room upstairs away from music as couldn't copr with radio, it's only because the shift mamager had to make new copyes it spreadsheets that I did that for her otherwise I would've been sat there doing nothing because cant deliver sessions if I'm not downstairs in main room with everyone else where music is on.?
