    ppl dont always need advice. sometimes all they rly need is a hand to hold. an ear to listen. and a heart to understand them. 🧸

    @eylah hey eylah, I'm so sorry I've been a short while. I had to pop out to pickup a kebab and just saw your message. I am sending you a thermonuclear hug.

    Sometimes when the people most like you don't love you, it is a hurt that can cause the greatest pain, and this pain can lead you to hate everything.

    i just joined an online class for a new course i’m doing over the summer with a college and i emailed her a few days before explaining how i struggle a lot with calls. it’s a new group of people for me (i have just discovered that i actually know someone from a previous job lol) and i feel super overwhelmed by that. she seemed understanding in her response saying “Please don’t worry – it’s absolutely not a requirement to have your camera or mic on. You’re very welcome to engage in whatever way feels comfortable for you, and I completely understand how overwhelming it can feel at times. You're not alone in that!” but now she’s going round us all making us introduce ourselves with cameras on and i ended up panicking so much i just left the call:/ i guess that’s another thing i can’t do now because im such a disaster…
  • shannon_164shannon_164 Community Connector Posts: 2,245 Boards Champion
    lol i dropped out of the course in less than 30 mins of it starting as there’s soo much info that’s not included on the page where you apply for the course which is rather unhelpful. i ended up joining the call again after calming down a little then she said breakout rooms and i then panicked and left again. i had so much hope for it feeling easier since her first email she was really understanding but yeah that is not working out - because of the type of course it is too, learning support team don’t cover it:/

    @River How did therapy go today if you don't mind me asking?
  • DonnerKebabDonnerKebab Posts: 855 Part of The Mix Family
    @Redemption I'm sorry to hear about your nightmares bro. You're not boring anybody. I'm here to listen and for you to vent to mate, whatever it is
  • RiverRiver Community Connector Posts: 4,166 Community Veteran
    @DonnerKebab not great but it’s fine, I’ll talk in a bit properly but on call to emergency service

    @shannon_164 that isn't a disaster. That's somebody struggling with social anxiety which is very real and very much a struggle. You tried to mitigate around it, and they agreed on action, then did a U-turn mid session and put you on the spot. That is there failure, not yours, and that you had the courage to join again is amazing, only to be put on the spot again. This is there failing, not yours. You are not a disaster. You know your limits, took steps to arrange ways to mitigate those issues which is a battle in of itself, showed up which again is another struggle, and was failed by those who ignored the mitigating factors you in place. That is not your fault, you are not a disaster, you are a warrior of a person for pushing forward and combatting your social anxiety to even get there let alone rejoin, and it is not your fault they let you down. I am very proud of you for trying and very angry at them for failing you.

    @Redemption that's an awful thing to have a nightmare over. I'm so sorry your going through that mate, reliving fears and past trauma's is hard for anybody, let alone somebody with your social anxieties. Can i ask who it was taking the piss out of you?
