My meds cause this too @zaynab_5 it’s hard when the meds help but they have effects like that. Worth having a chat with your GP about it there might be another they can switch you to if it’s really affecting you
What kind of moths do you have over there??
Eventho it was said In huddles not to comment on people’s imperfections another asked me what was on my arm again 4th time literally wtf.
She said it infront of other staff too. I said “it’s scars” thankfully she stopped at that when they rest never did.
Anyway she ddi pull me aside awhile after and said it was insensitive to say and apologised and didn’t think before she spoke which I really appreciate
It’s just like why don’t people think before they speak. It’s scars get over it ffs.
Anyway did end up speaking a lot about mental health after wards mostly because we was speaking about what we wanna do other than work in primark. I said about being a peer support worker. And that’s when supervisor was also mentioning about how strong I am to wear short sleeves and that I could inspire others who have scars that it’s okay. Which was really nice cause ithee staff was also agreeing.
I jsut don’t know why I feel like they will al bitch about it when I’m not there.
I also was like so many people ask me what is on my arm (at this point the other staff who asked wasn’t here) and I was just like I can’t tell if people genuinely can’t tell what it is or they just want me to say it. And she was like you can tell it’s self harm so it’s kinda rude to ask
I need you all night, come on, dance with me”
Well I’ve never had so many compliments about my eyes since dying my hair black so she can stfu cause I like it
I'm not ready.
45+ hours working, on top of study for a short course I'm doing, helping my mate with her kids..
I'm mentally and physically exhausted. I don't have time to eat, shop etc.
In struggling to keep up with myself..I'm self harm free 2 months and I'm really struggling.
I feel like I'm drowning
Thank you
