    @toffuna101 the same sadly. Only thing to do really is keep moving forward day by day until it gets better. Is there anything on your mind at the minute bothering you or making you feel low if you don't mind me asking

    @toffuna101 no worries mate. There's a few things going on with me, been low for a fair while tbh. It's a bit too long and complicated for me to really explain though. I really hope things get easier for you friend.

    @toffuna101 i've never spoken to them, just kelly's heroes, but i've heard good things about shout. It's well worth talking to them if you feel you need to.

    @eylah it's about damn time you got some kindness coming your way at long last. Sometimes there services can get a little under pressure admittedly, and you might have to wait a short while for them to pass you to someone else, but they are almost always super kind and caring, and should be with you again soon. If it's too long, you might have to try and re-join the queue though, but it's worth it.

    @toffuna101 i've heard a fair bit about them sometimes taking ages. Never tried shout myself. It's best to just wait for them, and if they take too long, look at other services you might be able to use instead.

    I was meant to have a Knus appointment but no one answered, its things like that which are meant to be simple but aren't. Im meant to just be able to go on and go on my chat but that didn't happen. I got the right day and time. I spent a bit pre planning what I wanted to say and then its unanswered, Ive not been told. My peer on there is amazing and I get these are volunteers and I get things come up but more reliability and communication would go great. It was my first chat in a while with Knus and I was sat here waiting patiently all day.

    @Redemption That sounds crushing redemption, to be planning and preparing all day, only for them to no show. They should have given you advanced warning, and they should have given you and apology and explanation if they couldn't keep that appointment. This isn't on you, but on them. Volunteers or not, at least an email warning would be a basic.

    Yh its fustrating bro but hopefully they will contact back to rearrange @DonnerKebab . Can I ask about what happened with that interview you were meant to have too, did you rearrange it?

    @Redemption yeah. i got it rescheduled. No reason was given for the rescheduling which was a bit annoying, just a simple sorry about that. I thought it went okay though, but i don't think i got it, but at least i got through to the interview stage so that's good.

    Have they Knus sent you an email update yet about any of them being no shows?

    @River that sounds horrible. I really do think you should try and reach out to your GP or local pharmacist just to see if there's any pain relief that won't effect your current medications, and is okay to use. You shouldn't have to be going through any of that at all.

    @toffuna101 That sounds awful. I don't know specifics about the book, but it might be worth if the library isn't able to help, until then trying to find other books, either asking your lecturers if there's any similar books that might help or reading what business topics you need to online. Another idea is trying out World of Books. They do second hand books, and delivery takes 5 days at most, and is pretty cheap. I'll link them.

    No they haven't yet, my counselling got cut off too so fustrating, the page reloaded and I couldnโ€™t get back on my session its so stressful this stuff just little things especially as its seeking support, tbf i went on another app so partly my fault for counselling.

    @toffuna101 i'm just gonna pop the E-Book link here for you just in case. I know it's a rental for 180 days, not a permanent purchase, but it's instant access I think, for your mock preparations where time is of the essence, and waiting several weeks for delivery is too long.
