Re: Wtf is my sexuality (brief mention of sexual themes)
Hey there
Sexuality can be really confusing, this post is pretty relatable. I know for me on my journey it helped to use different labels until I find one that resonated with me the most. It might be helpful to just use the term queer which encompasses a multitude of sexualities and gender. There are also people who prefer to use absolutely no label at all which is also 100% okay. It sounds like your experience with sexuality is pretty fluid which is normal. There is no rush to figuring out who you are, you'll gain more understanding of what you like and what labels you do or don't align with. Your queerness is beautiful in all its forms

Re: I don’t know why I get so offended when people ignore me
Hey @bignosegirly0, I can hear that you're feeling frustrated by how people ignore you or interrupt you. @Faolan makes a good point - it's rude, and it's disrespectful, so your feelings are valid! You deserve to be heard and listened to. Are you noticing that this is a specific individual or group of individuals at work that do this, or is this something that everyone at work is doing? We're here to listen to you

Re: sat here crying. tw/
@eylah becca is so so lovely!! i’ve always found everyone so supportive on there except for tracey definitely and sometimes liz, but other than that the likes of beth, alex, becca, andy, charlie, rhys etc are all genuinely so helpful🩷
if you do reach out to them, you could also just clarify with them about whether or not they have your details still? i know that beth did tell me they do not keep them and if either you wanted them to contact someone or they felt they needed to contact someone, they you would need to tell them all your info again but i totally understand the fear and that it might be helpful for you hearing it directly from them?
pls do reach out for support eylah, you really do deserve it - you’re such an important person that makes the world a better place and i’m so so proud of you for getting through so much, you’re so strong🩷

Re: sat here crying. tw/
@eylah i know that not everyone is the most helpful, but you can always ask them could you be transferred to someone else or else just leave the chat and rejoin? i know becca is on tonight, she is honestly so so helpful - i was in a real bad headspace but genuinely that chat with her tonight has helped me so much. i totally understand one conversation doesn’t fix everything, and i get that someone i find helpful isn’t necessarily someone you’ll find helpful and vice versa but you could always try? you really do deserve support🩷
in relation to them storing your details, they don’t do that - after they contact anyone for you they get rid of your information and if they wanted to contact someone for you / you wanted them to contact someone, then you would need to give them your information again - that is what beth told me when i asked her about that.
i really do hear your fear around others being involved and do very much so understand that eylah - i really hope you’re ok🫶🏻
