Best Of

aw thank you @eylah 🥹 you are too!! always here if you need someone🫶🏻

@eylah it’s okay you don’t need to apologise!!!! ask any questions you need to n if i can help you i will help you🫶🏻

i always contact any helpline using the private browser option or else clear my search history which then hides any recent chats ive had with them if that makes sense? i dont think they can tell that its you unless you tell them though. i’m sorry i cant give a definite answer as im genuinely not sure but i think its only if you tell them you’ve contacted them before they will know its you.

i’m so glad you found it helpful!! you deserve support🩷

@eylah honestly there is not one person that i’ve ever spoken to who hasn’t been so lovely and supportive!! i’ve mainly spoken to beth, tracy, alex and becca and they’ve been amazing🩷

i don’t know if this will be helpful to you but just in case it is, they are also very understanding of people who only want to speak to someone of a specific gender too so you can always ask if that’s something that can make sharing your feelings easier, if there is someone of that gender available they will transfer the chat🫶🏻

@eylah they won’t hate you!! if you do reach out to them again, they aren’t gonna hate you because of a previous chat, they still care and support you🫶🏻

i have had many conversations with them
where i’ve been in a real bad headspace and not gave the nicest of responses to them trying to just support me given how much i was struggling in that moment, (i’ve always apologised afterwards for it), but they’ve always still supported me so so much when i’ve contacted them again - they deffo won’t hate you🩷

i really hope you’re okay, you deserve support and im always here if you need someone to listen to you🫶🏻

@eylah I'm sure she'll be able to explore some pain management options for you. It's great your doctor is being proactive and booked you in for an appointment pretty quickly. The quicker the pain is managed the better your everyday life will be. I'm rooting for you Eylah you've got this

Im so sorry to hear about the passing of your mum eylah, this must be so hard to deal with and i wont pretend to understand how you are feeling but i am here for you. From what I remember from your posts you did so much to help your mum and supported her so much and I’m sure she really appreciated this. Im sorry to hear your having a difficult time with your dad at the moment too, i cant imagine this is helping with your grieving process. Please don't feel you need to apologise for sharing how you are feeling, this is what this is for and I’m so glad you feel able to share.

How are you feeling today? Keep speaking to people and reaching out as much as you can and we will support you through this in any way we can. I also just wanted to assure you that this isn’t you fault and try not to blame yourself for what happened, it’s obvious you cared for and loved your mum so much but sometimes life is unpredictable and out of our control.

i have no idea what it’s like to loose someone so i’m not going to sit here and pretend that i do understand how you’re feeling but i would expect it to be one of the worst feelings to experience. i just want to say though, it isn’t your fault eylah🫶🏻

Hey @Creativeboy23, thank you for sharing how you feel with us. From the first situation, I can understand how you felt singled out during the mock interview. It sounds like the mentor was suggesting tips on how you highlight your strengths more to improve your interview performance, but that it came across as being singled out. How do you feel about that interaction?

On the second situation, I can hear how you feel frustrated at the lack of response about using software to present design for a project. It sounds like you've been proactive in trying other ways to get a response, but with no luck. It sounds like you really want to improve your project, and that not receiving a response is getting in the way of that. Unfortunately, having to wait for long times to get responses can happen due to various reasons, but it's fair that you're not happy with the time taken. Is there someone else that you could try reaching out to? Perhaps an individual in the enquiry team, or another method to contact them? We're here to support you through this
