    I made communication cards.

    Someone sugested using them a while ago but i felt embarassed and shot the idea down.

    Theres been a few times where people who dont know me that well have tried to help but i couldnt comunicate what i needed or sometimes tell them i just needed space.

    So i finally pushed aside my insecurities about this, did my research and made some cards.
    Im still struggling with it but making the cards is progress even if i dont use them.
    You're awesome!

    @Dancer - As much as PJS are fabulous, it can make us feel better sometimes can't it to get dressed properly. How did you feel when you put some clothes on, rather than some PJS? :)

    @Amy22 - It sounds like you are doing such a good job at starting to work on your final project. How are you feeling about your final project at the moment? :)

    You have a whole term for that @Amy22, and only 3 days' holiday. I know it is harder to see that when you are a student and you have that pressure on your shoulders but I am glad you are feeling okay :)

    We are really proud of you @Past User. Opening up the curtains can be really difficult when you are in a difficult and dark place! <3

    Okay so this may not seem like much but today I managed not to feel too bad about myself, like I could actually look at my own reflection for once

    I started to draw again for a animatic I am doing my college project. I used to copy drawings and I ended becoming stressed cause of the mistakes I made from doing it. I decided to give myself a second chance at drawing and it felt nice actually to get back into it.

    I managed to use some of my skills doing work experience and I was able to log down all the times properly for the live broadcast :)

    In my Performance lesson, we were using a stretchy elastic thing as part of our group piece. The teacher said that I didn't have to do the part of wrapping myself in it if I don't feel comfortable as she could see how anxious I was but instead I actually joined in with it.
