If you need a break or a bit of light hearted relief, we will be using the general chat thread too.
So, does anyone have any ideas for an opening round?

Super proud of the womens football team winning the euros for the first time in history for England ! We seem to be doing okay with the commonwealth too
Hey That seems close , have you got some people around you who you can chat to about it ? We’re always here too 💜
idk, not really. i miss my old care coordinator, I'm constantly working next week including overtime to try not think about it as much leading up to Thursday. obv it won't be that easy though, just want it over with though

Do you find working helps to keep you atleast a little bit distracted?
thanks, its coming up to 8 months since I've reported it and even this much has been difficult, I guess this shows why the result is difficult...even though even if it does go the court route it doesn't mean he'll go to prison...so I guess this will be a long battle either way
We’re here for you if you decide you want to chat 💜
just feels like my recovery with it all is being delayed, I don't feel like I can truly recover until its over, but I also feel like if the case gets dropped in the next week or so and nothing happens it was all for nothing, and he's got away with it. it just too much honestly for me to handle honestly
I definitely hear you on this, very difficult when waiting for something that both outcomes come with their own negative emotions. I wonder if it is worth thinking a bit about work and what about it in particular helps you to feel distracted? Possible we could come up with a few things that replicate that without the over-working spiral?

No need to apologise for this Chloe, it can be definitely hard to accept that we are struggling, which is often the time that we need the support the most, but we can't quite let ourselves ask for it, so you are doing well by being on the boards tonight. We will be here to listen and support you if you feel ready to explore how you are feeling, or alternatively we have the general chit chat thread for some distraction. Either way, sending hugs

I know the feeling . Hopefully with how long they’ve taken with collecting evidence etc that they won’t drop the case 💜
just keeping busy tbh, and I struggle with that when I'm at home honestly, I don't cope with being at home by myself for long periods of time, I get worse the second I'm left with my own thoughts. i don't really know how to balance everything honestly
