Young Audio Awards
Earlier on, I heard something on the radio about the Young Audio Awards and this is about young people between the age of 8 and 18 recording their own radio show or podcast as part of a competition. At the moment, there is even a category about "My Life In Audio" which is about life during the pandemic and you can do it as an interview with someone, discussing your personal experiences, giving advice or however you want to do it. https://youngaudioawards.co.uk/categories/ Here is some more information about this amazing opportunity. I think that I am going to give it a go.

Re: Being with someone who has BPD
@Laura_tigger82 @Lucy307 @zaynab_5 @gia9720
Hi All
I am happy to hear you found my post interesting. It took me a few days to write as I could keep writing forever ever it seems!
My and my lovely man moved house on Monday so it has been super stressful but we managed to get it done with the help of my lovely family to support us. It is taking time and its been a little wobbly as my man comes to term with the change but it is work in progress.Thank you for asking.
@Lucy307 I am currently working on a post on how to explain SET which I will post soon - hopefully! But I originally came across this when researching BPD, it was originally designed for BPD but I have adapted it sightly to fit different situations. It is from a book called "Talking to a loved one with Borderline Personality Disorder" half the book explains what the steps are and the other half are examples of how to use it. Obviously, as it is for BPD, it will need to be adapted but the basic idea is still the same if you were to use for people without BPD. It is really good for mediating and reducing conflict during sensitive topics too. Especially for emotional people who get overwhelmed easily, it's a really useful tool as it has a structure and it teaches you how to actively listen to others responses.

Re: Anxiety experience
@gia9720 Thank you this is really helpful! Especially the bit about feeling doom and gloom, I often get overwhelmed by the negative thinking that comes with anxiety. It's really awesome that you are sharing your tips and advice with others.
I wish you a brilliant winter break.
My personal tips for dealing with anxiety are:
- mindfulness (watching guided journeys on youtube, listening to the sea waves music, binaural noises, meditation). just doing that whenever i have time has been very helpful.
- being honest about it. when things get bad i realize that not suffering in silence helps a lot.

Hey guys.
Just wondered if anyone can help me with this? I have completed most, if not all, of the online training courses on the e portal. I have requested the badge a few days ago but still haven't received it. I'm wondering how long it takes for the badge to show up on your profile?
Thank you!
