Im sorry @River just wanted to know if you're ok tonight
I trust and believe you that you are safe, because you've been so strong for so long and are still here in the face of it. I just had to make sure you were not at risk of anything. I know that feelings are different than actions. What your feeling right now is valid, but never act on any of it. I know you promised you won't and i trust you friend.
that’s mental of them! im so sry they didn’t support you. im here though and i wont tell you to have a bath or milkshake 😝
is there anything you can do rn to calm those thoughts
@Redemption Your uncle sounds like a complete prick mate. And yeah, it's a heavy expectation they put on you, expecting all this of you, whilst they're taking days off, and not getting up due to WFH, not having to commute. The course sounds like a stepping stone. Eventually, you will land something, and you will make your way, it's just about holding on until then. The course does sound unfair, but you don't want to miss it. It's still a stepping stone, even if it's an unfair one bro.
- Touch my head/neck or back and you trigger what happened in the foster home
- If you lift a hand to scratch your head or whatever I’ll flinch because of when I was jumped just for looking at someone
- Stand behind me and I’ll think your about to move your hand to the front of my mouth to hurt me
@eylah only those who question his research, which concluded that you were the slightly better twat of the twat duo 🤣
@River If only the NHS had the idea of serving people with mental conditions milkshakes and curing them with them. perhaps we shall find a cancer cure within a cornetto 😂
Patient: Dying
Nurse: Doctor, should we start CPR
Doctor: Don't be absurd nurse, get this man a croissant NOW!
me too. i hope i get that person if i ever talk to them 🤣❤️
@River that's an extreme amount to deal with, and it makes perfect sense the fight or flight cycle causing chronic stress response dysregulation now. It did before, but even more now.
stop it! you’re the best twat of this duo
@DonnerKebab yh he is a bit like its not a funny joke. It is a stepping stone, it's actually decent and can go on my cv. It's just the odd niggle, it's definitely better than college I went. The staff are ok and hopefully help me to an exent with my next steps.
@eylah Dr Duckworth disagrees and asks that you respect his research 🤣🤣
@eylah i know it's not a lot, but try to think about how in a week time, you'll be so much better off and pain free. I don't know what it is you have, or how much pain it is, but i know it can get severe enough to become like hell. Try and remind yourself, this is the last week you'll have to suffer this pain, and then it's pain free for the rest of your life.
@Redemption it 100% beats nothing. At the end of the day, you've done well, socialised well, gotten a bit more confident i'm guessing, have something you can add to your CV and that is better than where you were before this. So that is a victory.
sry dr duckworth i’m not listening to you my friend 🤣🤣❤️
it can be rly severe which is painful!! but rn its a 7/10 but im excited to sleep tonight bc i dont get a lot of pain when i sleep but i do get pain. but like you said in a week time im pain free!!
@eylah i think you hurt doctor duckworths feelings. Just admit you're the slightly better twat of the twat duo, and you'll make doctor duckworth a very happy duck again, otherwise he'll be a sad duck. As i say, nothing to do with me, it's entirely between you and dr duckworth so those hugs better still keep coming in cause it's not me who technically argued 🤣🤣
It's gonna be like a new lease of life for you eylah. All the things you've not been able to do because of chronic pain, you'll start to be able to. Can you think of anything you'd like to do, or are going to do when your pain free?
@DonnerKebab yh I agree. I think 1 day won't do much harm though , I'll see how I am tomorrow plus I'm probably the only one who's not been off yet.
@Redemption good luck to you with it bro. I hope your family don't give you any shit for it.
ill keep arguing with dr duckworth bc he is arguing with me haha!! but you’re the better twat in this duo hehe.
i know im going straight to the gym 🤣 i miss the gym
@DonnerKebab yh hopefully not, ok up to now, I'm just watching tv still but yh, you sleep well. We'll talk in the morning if you want?
@River you are different. If you were still the same "breed" then so would I. I would be the same breed as my uncle who trafficked me, my dad who beat me, abused me, then fucked off when times got tough with my brother, and the same breed as my mum whose done some shady things. I'd be the same breed as my weed growing cousin who was so bold he put on a council vest and began "tending to the flowers" in the middle of a ring road, which is where he proceeded to grow weed out in the open 🤣 points for boldness, and he got caught after a while.
We are not the same as our parents. We learn from there failings, and we strive to be better. my dad had a mom and dad growing up, a stable life, stable everything, and he failed his kids. he started the cycle. If i ever become a dad, I will be the best dad in the world and give my kids everything i never had growing up. That is why for me, i am not the same Breed. And neither are you. It isn't genetic, it's choice. Your parents made the choice to be fucking scum. You made the choice to be kind to others, so your already miles ahead of them.
They didn't know or care what it's like to grow up like you did because of there failings. You do, you know what you were deprived off, and if you ever became a mom, you'd go above and beyond to never let your own kids be deprived of safety and a loving home because you know what that's like to go without.
there are parents who start the cycle like yours and mine. There are those who continue the cycle, and there are those who break the cycle and decide "i went through hell, i won't let my kids go through the same hell. i'll give them what i never had." This is a little thing that might help.
Oh, and the people who said that about you, they are just cunts, ignore them. You'd make a great mum if you ever became one. just from how kind you are here. You went through hell and rather than going cold and cruel like so many others would of, you are so kind and caring for others. That's the spirit of a person who would break that cycle, and thus, would be a good mum and give your kids everything you were deprived of, the same way you give others the kindness you were deprived of.
@Redemption sure thing redemption, sleep well yourself bro
Thanks for all your support @DonnerKebab night
@eylah your arguing with his scientific research and scientifically proven fact. He's a very sad duck now. 🤣 you are completely fake news, the better twat of this duo is 100% you, and mr duckworth backs that up. It's 2 vs 1, you're outvoted. now hush about it. Mr Duckworth will keep arguing 🤣🤣❤️
Amazing to go back there then? How long has it been if you don't mind me asking?
@River I'm guessing because of the Mix community guidelines?
