Laying in bed needing bathroom but scared to go 😂
@River I have, just waiting for it to kick in. I fell over like an idiot trying to get my brothers helmet on him to cushion his headbanging and knocked all my leg in the process. I thought it would go away after an hour but clearly not. 😭
Can't you take barney with you 😂?
@DonnerKebab must be extremely hard , I hope he got some sleep and you did too.
I ended up holding it till it got light haha
updateee - my last day is now sunday, i wasn’t at all expecting that to be the outcome since we are meant to give 1 months notice and sunday is 4 days away lol so as much as i am relieved, im also kinda sad?
@shannon_164 well done. I know it's a really anxiety ridden thing sending in a resignation text, and i'm so happy it went well for you. It's normal to feel a sense of sadness when leaving any workplace, because it's a change from normality and there's small things you'll miss from it, but you have to remind yourself, your moving to a better workplace, to bigger and better things elsewhere.
@River Oh I love that. Suits me very well, but i've got a better one.
I'm tweedle dee for stumbling around with an untreated broken leg for a day, and your tweedle dumb for holding it till morning 😂😂 Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dumb 😂
It feels better with the pain meds thanks, just took a bit of time to kick in.
@Redemption I'm used to it thanks, have been since i was 11, it's just that doing it with a broken leg is new 😂 I fell over trying to sort out one of his meltdowns last night. But we both got sleep thankfully, him at 3, me at half 3
@River 100%, i'm gonna start calling you Tweedledumb from time to time now and I'll be Tweedledee. Unless you want to be tweedledee and I be tweedledumb 😂😂
Chat's gonna be so confused 😂
@River amazing 😂 It's that catchy, ain't it tweedledumb 😂😂😂
@DonnerKebab still can be hard though, its good you do all of this though. You ok now?
thank you @DonnerKebab
@Redemption yeah, all fine now, my leg killed when i fell over though, but the pain meds have helped ease that now. And it's the sort of thing you get used to after a while you know. 12 years of it makes it a whole lot easier than you think.
Anyway, how are you doing Bro?
@DonnerKebab yh I hope your leg gets better fully again soon. Im overwhelmed but getting there, hopefully support chat is on later too.
@shannon_164 it's easy to lose track sometimes, cause the future is in the future and the here and now is obviously the first thing that will come to mind, but you have to keep reminding yourself your doing the right thing. You're doing a great job pushing through the social anxiety to have resigned and doing what's best for your future, and you really should be proud of yourself for it. Good luck with it all. 2 shifts to freedom sounds both fun and scary.
@eylah hello my favourite twat in the whole wide world
edit: Btw, this is my 1500th post lol, i'm glad it was talking to you
@Redemption Cheers Bro, and yeah, with any luck it'll stay on tonight. Do you want to talk a bit about what's got you feeling overwhelmed bro?
aww hehe
im okay im very sleepyyy
@eylah I'm really glad i met you on here too. I don't think you realise just how much of a ray of sunshine you are to others in this otherwise lonely world
I'm guessing you didn't have a good sleep last night?
i had to sleep on my back all night bc i can’t sleep on my sides :(. so was a very awful sleep
aww stop you’ll make me blush <3
this textbox is strange
they are testing a new one !
i hope they keep the old one
@DonnerKebab just the job searching and everything, little niggles that add up in life like tech issues, little fustrations, having to drive people about and reduce things for it, I have my meeting tomorrow regarding my next steps, that like my job searching and little fustrating things then I struggled to sleep last night its so hard sometimes.
I’m sorry but this text box is absolutely shite to put it straight 🥲
@Redemption I get it bro. It builds up after enough time to the point of anything becoming overwhelming. I think the saying is the straw that breaks the camels back. It's just about trying to hold on until that brighter time. You're already looking at next steps, you've added something to your CV this last few months, you are making progress, so well done.
And i get worried myself at times about losing time. I'm trying to put away any money i can, and investing it. My aim is 50 a week which i'm failing miserably on. Have you heard of compound interest at all?
