    The steps you take don’t need to be big, they just need to take you in the right direction.

    Shit i don’t know where my first half of text went. But I was saying is she doing all day? Will probably bump into her and not know! 
    Apols, that was me. :3

    Just decided to remove the specific store you work at @Shaunie, and your connection to it @Dandelion. You're more than welcome to talk about those sorts of things privately via PM, but best not to reveal anything that could locate you on a public thread. Things like that could make it easier for someone to find you online as well as physically, and your privacy is super important.

    You didn't do anything wrong; just best to be on the safe side. :)

    I’m doing overtime even tho I’d probably get still the same amout as money cause on universal credit and they give me more or less depending on how much I get 😂so all this overtime literally like worth nothing cause I’ll get the money anyway. But yeah I don’t really want to sponge of the gov and if I can go into work being slightly less anxious with help of a mask then I should probably do it and not go just cause I can.

    The back of my mouth hurts so bad I don’t know whether it’s an ulcer or a cut or whatever but it hurts and then I worry what if it’s actually something bad.

    You’ll get an hour and a half for both so two 15 minutes and 1 hour x

    After doing one overtime shift last week, I’ve now been given 4 extra shifts for next week and the week after. Hopefully I’ll still be able to do them I don’t want to let them down.

    Ah yeah I didn’t realise so many breaks. Just on my first and then go back for one hour to just have one hour lunch. 

    It’s not as bad as I thought. Just filling. Quite peaceful. 

    Good luck with your overtime! Just think of the money aha

    also @Dandelion is every store got no customer service now from Monday?

    That’s good! Yeah I think every store is getting rid of it from next week sometime. The store I was at at uni got rid of it a few months ago, I actually quite like it, it means customers don’t shout at you when you tell them they’ve spent 10 minutes standing in the wrong queue 😬

    It may not always feel it, but it takes great strength and courage to be open with how things are for you right now. I am always so encouraged to see so many of you share your experiences in a way that is authentic and shows vulnerability. Whatever happens, this community will always be a space that will provide comfort and support, whenever you need it. 

    Keep on keeping on, we are all here for you :3
