Aww that's amazing
I feel the same way, my stuffed animals have got me through a lot, and even though I know they're not alive they kind of have their own personalities, if that makes any sense

@Redemption Amazing to hear you have work, I hope you enjoy it.
Re: I have got a job but theres an issue
@Redemption huge congratulations on getting that job, I'm really happy for you and I know you'll do great. It's so great that you've found something that works for you, and it's honestly been so admirable to see you working so hard to find a role despite setbacks. I'm proud of you, and hopefully you feel proud of yourself - you absolutely deserve it
Also if you don't mind me asking, what are domestic jobs? I'm just curious since I haven't heard of the term before.
Thank you so so much @Nemuritai , I hope you're ok. Domestic job is cleaning
Re: Intrusive Thoughts (food and eating)
Hello @Amy22 thank you for sharing this and being so transparent with what you have been going through. It is definately best not to bottle things up but of course, we undertsand that it's not always easy to express how you feel. You are really brave taking the step to get your emotions out there. You are definately not 'stupid' or 'silly', it sounds like this is a difficult sitationship for you and you should give yourself all the grace you can.
You mentioned it may be triggered from a mixture of watching I'm a celebrity and learning about healthy eating, I'm wondering if something like this has triggered you before or anything familiar to it?
Aw thank you, I think I was just having a silly moment and episode to be fair, I normally do sometimes. I normally quite good with my food and this hasn't really happened before to be fair. I know when I was younger I struggled with food because of different tastes and textures.

Re: Anybody want to vent or chat about anything? w/c 15.12.25
Thanks for the support @Amy22. I am hopeful this will lead to paid work but I wouldn't be surprised if I was let go the moment my internship ends. I have heard people with disabilities with basically being used for free labour and being imminently let go they ask for pay. But I will find out by June or maybe earlier because I could very get pay while I'm doing my internship, hopefully if that happens I can ask for more hours or another day.
