    I'm hearing that whilst you've shared feeling not great, you've said its okay - you deserve support @Mel_! And if you wanted to go into a bit more depth, you're very welcome to create your own discussion board thread. I'm wondering what your plan is for the rest of the evening tonight?

They won't see how strong you had to be because you had no other choice. What they will see though is how compassionate you are because you experienced pain.

    I had a really horrible dream that I said I was going toilet to a manager and she said no. I said okay I wasn’t asking I was telling you where I was going to be. Then she followed me all the way to the cubicle and refused to leave then just stared at me while I went for a wee. And then I told the other managers & they didn’t care. Very weird. I think it’s a dream somehow related to abuse I went through

    Work have been so nice to me today. I asked if I could have a break and that I think I need to maybe ring someone as I feel awful. My favourite manager stayed with me while we waiting for 111 to pick up and just chatting. Basically we waited for 1 hour and then they just hanged up saying the queue was too long and then we try on the office phone and suddenly it works. And then phone call finishes and manager comes in and speak about what to do now and basically I’m waiting until 6 pm when the sanctuary opens in the canteen. And they gave me a headset so I can call a manager if I need to speak to someone. I mean I was meant to finish at 1 and now it’s 3:15 and they have been soo soo kind to me and supportive

    I was definitely very tired last night. I fell asleep at 7pm and woke up at 6:30am.
