Re: Anybody want to vent or chat about anything? w/c 24.11.25
@Nemuritai hello how are you
I am really sorry to hear how tough this week has been for you. Sometimes, trying to hold everything together can feel exhausting and allowing yourself to slow down and take a break is such an important and brave thing to do. It is lovely that you’re finding little ways to comfort yourself with coffee, reading, and even Bluey (never too old for Bluey I agree). Those small things can really help when life feels like too much, and it’s wonderful that you’re giving yourself that care. And there is nothing wrong with crying because it is a completely natural way to work through difficult things. Crying is one of the ways you can release what’s been building up inside and I think that’s really brave. Even the people who seem the strongest sometimes break down, and that doesn’t take away from their strength at all because crying is a part of being human and feeling deeply.
It’s okay to take things slowly, to give yourself space, and to focus on the things that help you feel safe and cared for. We’re here to listen if you ever feel like sharing more about what you’re going through.
@Ech0 thank you so much, I really appreciate your kind words. I'm doing okay right now, I felt quite triggered earlier but I feel better now

@Lottie5433 I’m so sorry you had a night like that. You don’t deserve to feel that kind of pain. Please remember that it is completely okay to feel this way and as humans we do get overwhelmed. You are still cared for, valued and more than enough exactly as you are. We are holding space for you here and you are not alone.

@Lottie5433 sorry for the late reply. That sounds like a really difficult night and it's understandable you feel exhausted now. It sounds really hard to deal with, and you're so brave for keeping on going and getting through each day. I know that can be hard sometimes, especially when the panic arrives like that. I truly hope you're able to get a little more rest tonight, and please take care of yourself. You matter so much to the people around you, and to this community, and we're all here for you if you need someone to listen. Sending virtual hugs

Re: Why I hated volunteering
Hi @Redemption it really sounds like you tried your best and left your comfort zone, that's a great accomplishment! It sounds like you weren't given enough time to get confortable with the tills, that must be frustating, but it's great that you gave it a shot. As @Ech0 said, the right thing for you will find you! That's a great way to put it. If anything comes to mind that you are thinking of doing that may be more suitable, we would love to know!
