From @Lottie5433 on the last thread:

I’m just done with everything
With work
Life
Just everything
I feel sick to my stomach and just don’t see much point most of the time
The only thigg by a that keep me going are my dog and my bf
Can’t talk to him right now as I know what he’d say and tell me I need to talk to someone etc but can’t so that either

I think a lot of this is likely due to me being on my antidepressants again after not taking them for a few weeks or it if I did it was sporadic in when I’d take them. But also that I can’t do peer support this week and that I just felt a lot of things have been going on behind my back.
I’m just fed up with everything there is too much change happening.
Part of me just can’t do it anymore but I’ll disappoint a lot of people if I do anything

@pharmagirl27 hi🫶
I hope you’re doing okay, I’m sorry to hear about your breakup (Im here if you ever want to talk about it )

first off I can completely relate and understanding the feeling of being ‘too emotional’. Sometimes it can feel like a curse because it means we might over reactive to certain things and be overly emotional but personally I like to convince myself it’s also a blessing in some ways.

Even though the bad times can feel even worse, when we have things we really care about, we are really passionate and it’s kinda cool that we have the ability to feel such a large range of emotions (some people definitely don’t!) anyway i completely understand your feelings but I’m not sure you necessarily need to ‘change’ the fact you’re sensitive (it’s not a bad thing🫶) but maybe you could try change your perspective

In terms of book recommendations, I personally love the perks of being a wallflower ( I read it about two years ago the first time and it’s one of my favourites, it really helped me see the world and myself in a different way, however could be triggering to some people so maybe do a bit of research before reading it just in case!)

Hey @eylah how's your amazing self?

hey you! how’s your amazing self doing today?

im not feeling very well i feel ew. hru?

I hope you get well soon, Im ok thanks

im so proud of you @Redemption . you keep on going even when things set you back time. you haven’t given up even when you felt like you couldn’t keep searching for jobs etc. that’s rly admirable. we see how much you’re trying every day to look at getting a job etc and we all believe in you. im rooting for you and always will. pls keep going. we are behind you in. this we are here for you.

At the start of the year I did volunteering once a week for a few months. I did not like it as it was unpaid, demotivating, and I never felt valued but I carried on because I was encouraged to. I also completed Functional Skills in Maths which I did not enjoy either but I passed. I even panicked thinking I lost my certificate but luckily I found all my certificates, got them together, and added everything to my CV. I also apply to jobs nearly every day.

The past few years have been harsh. Last year was tough and this year has not been much better. I have tried volunteering and courses but setbacks and fails keep happening. I did not want to do a confidence-boosting course last year because it felt too long and would delay work. Even though I have done courses, applied consistently, and had interviews, I am still out of work. The length of time is what really gets to me especially seeing others get ahead. I get that some people think I am not trying but I am. I doubt myself a lot wondering if I can do it but things have got to change and I am battling the uncertainty.

Now I am doing a course. I chose a six-week option to get into work quicker rather than a three-month one. I sometimes take what I have for granted but I appreciate it. I want to move forward and see big changes because I have put in a lot of effort. It is hard to keep going without letting pressure get to me but I am really glad for the online support around me as well as the in-person and online counselling I have had. I could not have done it without it.
