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

    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 :)

    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 โ€ฆ it may be small but itโ€™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.
