Best Of

Hey everyone, I just wanted to say thank you so much for how you're holding this space for one another here, and opening up and sharing. Each and everyone of you make this Community the special space it is, and we really appreciate you all. It sounds like things have felt extremely hard lately @Animalloverb and there's been so much you've had to carry - grief, isolation, supporting others, juggling logistics. You're doing so well to share about this here, and this space is for you to show up exactly as you wish. Sending lots of care your way.

The user and all related content has been deleted.

Thank you @Sian321
I appreciate it.

@Redemption hey bro, you mentioned it was the wrong thread in the other one. Just wanted to let you know I'm here if you want to chat a bit about stuff.

@DonnerKebab really appreciate it bro, I saw you replied to my thread about the courses, I know you said do the 3 month course but I decided to go with the 6 weeks course in the end, I didn't ignore your advice though and took it into consideration but spoke to the 6 week one and they said it should get me into work quicker, I just was was told Id get my travel expenses paid but my key worker is working slow with that.

@Redemption as i said bro, do what's right for you. If they've told you that's the one that will get you into work faster, and your more comfortable with it, then go for it. Both of them sound awesome, both of them will help you to advance, and ultimately, you know more about them than what i do. Good luck with the 6 week course bro. It's still taking steps forward, will help you get closer to your goals, and that's something to be proud of.

So how are you feeling about it? You mentioned it starts very soon.

Thank you bro @DonnerKebab . This is what the course is about, I hope you're ok this morning.

just heads up there’s an email on there that ppl can use etc so maybe editing the post for your protection. and a location too. of course it’s up to you but just to be on the safe side.

I appreciate it so much mate, but honestly I do have to bottle everything up, I can't be sharing this crap.
It's my life, so it's my crap to deal with, I can't be weighing it onto other people as that isn't right.

And I have a job to do, I can't be having all these problems when I am meant to be showing up for people.

@Animalloverb the thing is mate, you've been there for so many others when they've shared there problems and struggles. And each time, you help them as best you can, and that means the world to so many people. You deserve to be able to lean on others for support too and to have people listen to you in your hour of need. I completely respect your decision, but i need to make this point clear. You aren't a burden on anybody for talking about this stuff and venting to them. You're getting the same kindness that you show to so many others.

I really appreciate that mate.

My head has just been really messed up with everything at the moment, and knowing I have nobody I can go to about anything, it's been that way for ages so I have been so used to just getting by on my own and keeping things to myself and showing up for others even if I am living through what feels like hell.
So opening up on here and stuff is just a really new thing to me as I have never been able to speak about anything at all before.

@Animalloverb i think i know what you mean. It sounds a bit like what we call caregivers syndrome, where you've been supporting others for such a long time, and haven't really have much chance to give yourself that same kindness. And it can make it difficult to open up anywhere given you've not been able to for ages. You've been carrying so much on your shoulders for so long, so it's going to be tricky starting to get comfortable enough to open up about these things, and it's never done overnight, but you're already making such huge amounts of progress, and it's important to stop and look at how far you've come with it. Just by talking on here, that alone shows just how strong you are. I just want to add, you'll always have friends here bro, and you'll never be without someone to talk to.

Hey @bignosegirly0 Im so so sorry you are feeling like this , I can see you are going through a really rough time but please remember you are valued, cared for, the world is such a better place with you here and things will get better especially as you are trying. Ive left some links to services that you might find helpful. Please stay safe
