Best Of

Reluctantly doing another year of college. Doing a supported internship if anyone is wondering.

I can't believe how September has flown by to be fair and now we're in October spooky season month, my favourite season of the year!. Big congrats to everyone this month and for September too, always remember eventhough you may not feel it but each small step is a big part in a longer journey.

Now onto my September achievments:

- I've started my internship this month doing a work placement at a personal hygiene company that specialises in hand dryers etc. I'm currently working in their marketing department and I'm learning about everything marketing!. The internship is mainly designed for neurodivergent people in mind and the aim is to help us to get into full time employment.

- My routine is slowly starting to improve because of the earlier starts and having to start at 9 in the morning. So I've been going to bed earlier.

Was waiting for this


Started a course which is learning stuff about interviews, cover letters, CV stuff etc for jobs, I have been most days, just the first couple of days I was deciding on what course to do, another longer course which I got offered or the one Im on, I decided to just go with the one Im on, shorter. Its quite far and costing more fuel, which I'm hopefully going to get reimbursed but Im still going, I just wish some people would know how much I want this

Small one but I found a way to overcome my overthinking, basically just deleting messages from just myself so I can't look back and overthink

Continuing my online counselling

I had a job interview in early September, didn't get it but Im doing something right to get an interview, I got it through no organisations or anything just through applying myself

I've improved my cv with a call from National Careers Service

Just saying determined is one, Ive had setbacks and been trying since early last year but I'm still here not giving up chasing them goals coz I know I will get there and I need this, I can do this.

Congratulations to everyone who has already posted and posts after this, they all sound great. All achievements are great big or small.

- i donated to my local air ambulance charity.
- i started volunteering in my local animal shelter. ( few days a week!)
- 2 months free from sh
- im doing my maths course to try pass my maths.

better month this month. proud of you all.

Hello everyone, I'm sorry for the slightly late check-in! I hope you've all been okay - I can't believe it's October now!

I'd really love to hear what you've all been up to in September that's made you proud! Of course, it doesn't matter how big or small your achievements are, and feel free to share as many as you like. I hope that recognising your achievements helps with your mental wellbeing

Here are mine:
- I'm currently getting the support I need with my mental health, so I'm really grateful to have reached out in the first place
- I'm still volunteering at the hospital and I'm happy that I've encouraged more patient involvement in creative activities
- I had two job interviews in one day, and although it was tiring, I'm so proud that I was able to concentrate better and articulate myself well! I'm really happy with the answers I gave

Well done everyone for getting through another month, I'm so so proud of you all

Hope everyone has a lovely October!

I wasn't going to mention this as of yet but decided I would.

So in October there is this event where you get given rewards for certain things. And well I was put on the list by someone and that list was short listed, which basically means it went to the higher people who made the list shorter and picked roughly up to 8 people to stay on the list and I am one of them. So in October I have to go to this rewards ceremony event, to see if I have won the reward or not.
The reward I have the chance of winning is an inspirational person rewards. So it is a reward given to a really inspirational person in my area.

The person who put me on the list has not all about me for roughly 2 minutes and explain what makes me an inspirational person and why I deserve the reward and the same will happen to the other people on this list and at the end of it the upper people will decide based on that who gets the reward.

And then we stay and have drinks, talk and do all sorts of different activities.
