    Aw, glad you're feeling fairly okay <3

    It's great that they're so kind. That can help a lot if you're feeling anxious or unhappy.

    Oh god... Writing your story sounds kind of hard. I'd end up going into a deep and upset vent about things :p Have you made any progress on it at all? Or got any ideas on what to say?

    I learnt about things like avoiding "but", and asking open questions, some time ago. I find that stuff easy when writing it - though face-to-face may be challenging. You've got what it takes and will get the hang of it :)

    Well done on doing the training, by the way <3

    No idea what to say in it. I started but then i was like gosh this is depressing. So then i deleted it lollll. Its really hard in knowing what i should and shouldnt write. I guess have to make it partly recovery focused and partly how i felt and help ive recieved and stuff but yeah idek tbh. We was only given one example and tbh i cant remember now

    and just looking at the module questions are really hard and worded in way that makes it hard to answer. Stuff about restraning patients. Eventho as peer support workers never restrain them so idek why tbese questions or why speak about restant and all that. And questions about spirtuallity, ways in helping people become indepenant and its just recovery focused. 

    And specific situations questions which is the hardest ones

    Its stressful tho. Because there are loads of situations you could be in and knowing how to react and how to speak using recovery lanague is really hard

    All this crying these two weeks have given me massive headache 😭😭 & feel sick

    But i managed to do communication excerse without crying or walking out!!!!

    And i spoke to the manager in different room at beginning since the tutor had concerns about me. But the manager was really nice and so supportive and she said something like ”i know this is something you really want and really good at and we are going to get you through this”

    And she was talking about ways to make the communication exercise  easier and That they have now changed it from calling it ”role play” to communication excerise
