    This is Meredith …. I brought Meredith yesterday as a present to myself to finishing all the teaching content at uni for the first year.

    “And when they look at you, they won't see everything you've been through. They won't see the **** that turned to scars that began to fade with time. They won't see the heartbreaking things that shook up and changed your entire world. They won't know how many tears you cried or even what it was you were crying about. 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. What they will see is how kind you are because you experienced how cruel the world is. What they will see is how good you are because you've seen how bad things or people can be. The difference between you and your experiences are who you choose to be, despite everything that could have turned you cold and unkind.You are the good the world needs and the best of us.” ~ Kirsten Corley

    I have a show today which will be fun but I also feel quite anxious.

    Not today specifically, but I didn't quite know where to post this.

    Recently I wanted to put my experience to good use and try to help some people. So I applied to volunteer for a helpline (some of you know which one, but I'm not sure I'm allowed to say here).

    So I applied. Never thought I'd get accepted let alone complete and pass training first time!!!!

    I've done a few shifts now and it's amazing to be there to help people in their time of need, I really do know how lonely that time of crisis is, so just to be there for those people is amazing. It's so rewarding.

    Hope it went well @Dancer and those anxious feelings didn't hang around too long :3

    @independent_ Well done on passing your training and being accepted as a volunteer, such a powerful thing to be able to help others in that way :+1:

    Thank you. Yeah it went really well and it was definitely something that touched many people. <3 I sort of became famous afterwards haha. Even today, my mum went out somewhere with a friend and someone came over to her and asked if she was my mum and said that she loved the show and that I was really sweet.

    That sounds really positive @Dancer. It would seem you are aware it is really positive too.

    Well done you! We are all really proud of you too :)

    I finally rang my gp and asked for a blood test and had my blood tests done. I’ve been setting my alarm for weeks now and ignoring it cause ironically too tired for it. Finally done it

    A week or so ago I wrote this on the suggestion board that was created in our newly made quiet room in the library and well it got listened to … it may be small but it’s a start to making more neurodivergent friendly spaces at my uni

    I managed to shower and put make-up on today. I went into town for a memorial get together for somebody I used to work with who sadly passed, it was at a coffee shop. I have really bad social anxiety and I felt hugely out of my comfort zone because I only knew one person there, but I'm proud of myself for not letting that anxiety win and still going there.

    I recently started taking up adult colouring again and I am telling myself that I don't need to be a perfectionist when it comes to doing it. Also, I am getting back into crochet after taking a break.

    I haven't had Costa for about 2 or 3 weeks now. I used to get it at least 3 or 4 times a week.

    I broke that streak today. But it was a birthday treat so I have no regrets.
