Forgive me for speaking out of term here, but you've been through a lot of trauma yourself, and failed by countless people and systems too. And I think that caused self worth issues possibly, as it did with me for years, but i promise, you are incredible, and deserve all the kindness and support and care in the world. Maybe words won't convince you of that, it probably wouldn't have convinced me, but hold on in there for a while, and one day, you'll see it with time and reflection like i did too for myself.
I am here to vent to about anything. And thank you.
@River , I 100% worry about you friend
@shannon_164 i know you feel like you might have to, but you need to make sure your okay first and foremost. That means finishing your shift when it ends at 8 and getting to your appointment. You come first, the job second. People phone in sick, it doesn't mean you have to stay overtime and miss a doctors appointment the next time you come in.
you don’t typically get to finish on time which is so frustrating, i don’t mind if i have nowhere to be afterwards but i do really need to be away today. i just overthink absolutely everything:/ im scared to fill in the return to work form too because of what’s gonna be said, in 3 months ive already had like 9 sick days…
@shannon_164 and with respect, you had rioting across your city and you had an actual medically diagnosed illness if i'm not mistaken. Perfectly valid issues that caused that.
@shannon_164 i know it's hard given everything that's gone on, but you are a warrior of a person still pushing forward, still soldiering on, and for what little it's worth, I'm proud of you.
so did everyone though:/ i have been really unwell, i did have to go up to hospital too & have been to the doctors like 3 times now as well
@shannon_164 which is evidence that supports you being off. Sick days are for when you are sick and you have clear medical proof of sickness. Besides, i assume the riots impacted different sections of the city.
@River as i say, it's hard for you to see why right now, as it was with me, but you are very special and worth worrying about. Why else do you think i felt comfortable enough after only a month to trust you enough to tell you my life story and what i've been through. You are an amazing special person, you're just struggling to see it right now. But i swear on my life, you are worth worrying about friend
@River like hallucinations?
@River Do you remember anything particular happening on that exact day at all that made that day a trigger for it?
