Re: Empathy
Hey @Amy22, that's okay! I'm glad you're feeling a bit better now 
Yeah it's really important we take time for ourselves and I'm glad you're trying to make time to do that. Yeah I get you, it can be really hard to recognise when we need to take some time out. Sometimes I find scheduling certain times in the day where I do self-care activities quite helpful. I hope you're having a good day

Re: Empathy
Hey @Amy22, I can definitely relate to this so you're not alone. It can feel really tiring because it takes a lot out of you when you constantly feel like you're thinking of others and people pleasing. I've found it helpful to set aside some time in the day to do self-care and things I enjoy so I get a bit of time to decompress after feeling really overwhelmed.
You deserve to look after yourself and to put yourself first - but I know it's easier said than done! Maybe try and start with small steps like setting some time aside for yourself, and the people who deserve to be in your life will understand that you deserve to set boundaries and look after yourself too
Hiya apologies for the late response. I did read this recently the other day but forget to reply 😅. I'm doing a bit better now, I think I was just having one of my usual rants. I am trying to make sure I also take time for myself too as well but sometimes I feel I might be resting too much than I need to. I think mostly for me it's recognising that I guess.

This is a space to chat or vent about things which you think may be more triggering for the Community but still want to get off your chest.
Every Monday morning we will close the thread and start a new one so we have a fresh one each week. If you'd like to check out this week's venting thread that isn't triggering, click here.

hey I’m very tired. howre you?
@eylah i'm just surviving as usual thanks. Hopefully you can get some rest tonight and be feeling a lot less tired tomorrow.
And I just wanted to say sorry as well for not being on here anywhere near as much as i used to be. A few things happened that i can't really talk about that much, which sort of made me take a fair while away from boards.
hugs 🫂. of course idk what happened but pls know you’re cared abt. i appreciate all the support you give me etc.

Re: Miss you brother
@Invisible_me No I haven't, but that does actually sound like a really good idea, so I may do that. And I will also do one for my friend that passed away too.
