Hey @Creativeboy23, thank you for sharing how you feel on here, it's a brave thing to do

I can hear how you've experienced some difficult situations. It sounds like you weren't happy about the support you received over workplace adjustments. Would you be able to explore a little more about what happened? Would you be able to speak to someone else in HR about this, and what options are available to you? I'd hope they can provide some support or signposts for you.

It sounds like some of your recent experiences have reminded you of previous incidents that have happened. I can hear how that be difficult when you recall those experiences. I want you to know that you have worth, that you are deserving of love, and that you do matter. Sometimes people will say things that can come across as hurtful, but knowing that we have value helps us to feel less affected and upset by those comments.

It sounds like these experiences have been taking their toll on you. I want you to know that we want you here in our community, and that we're glad that you come on here to share your experiences and interact with others here! We're here to support you, rain or shine

Have they been able to contact you yet @Creativeboy23? This sounds really difficult for you, especially as it made you think of earlier experiences where you felt you did not belong and want to be here anymore

You deserve all the support. Hopefully, they will be able to provide you with proper support soon. Do you know what, in an ideal world, your support would look like?

Hey @Creativeboy23 - I'm sorry to hear that you weren't contacted as expected, and that you've felt poorly supported by the employability support service. You deserve to be supported and to be listened to, because your feelings are valid. I wonder if HR have any alternative services that might be able to support your requests? Or if there is a disability-specific contact that might be able to support your case as you go through the adjustment process?

You're right - sometimes it's easy to focus on our shortcomings, and perhaps that comes from a drive of wanting to improve and be better. But it's just as important to recognise our good qualities and achievements too
