Thank you @eylah , its just been tougher than usual the past few days but we are all here for each other here.
of course. always here for you.
@Redemption me and you both know how much you want to get into work. Of that, there is zero doubt. And screw anybody who doesn't recognise that fact. I fully get the stigma was overwhelming for this opportunity. And maybe that's something you can work on overcoming in future, but the fact you wasn't able to overcome it within what, a day or two, that's not something to feel ashamed of. You never look at people struggling with stigma and shame them for not overcoming it within days. It's never that easy. So bro, i fully understand why you didn't feel able to go for it, and there is no shame here. You're trying your best, and i'm proud of you. the fact your considering cutting some leeway for opportunities like that in future despite the stigma just goes to show how much your trying, and the fact your going back and asking for more opportunities is a good sign. Keep it up bro.
@eylah I'm sorry i haven't been on here anywhere near as much as i used to be, and i really do miss our awesome chats on here, but i just wanted to pop in and let you know that not at single thing you've done is overreacting. You have perfectly normal and valid concerns. There isn't a single person out there who wouldn't feel the way you do given everything that's happened. Being ignored, gaslit into thinking it's just an overreaction (which it isn't) and then, and i don't want to jump the barrel here, but possibly emotionally blackmailed with a breakup and the fear of loneliness isn't right. It's not okay eylah for anybody to be treated like this, least of all you, the kindest soul on here. You are right that he doesn't deserve you.
And i've said this before, and i'll happily say it again, you'll always have someone to speak to on here, even if it's just an online stranger. I'm sending you two virtual hugs today (one for getting through the anniversary which took enormous strength, and the second for all your going through right now).
And for little it's worth, you really are loved by everybody on here.
@eylah awww, that's super adorable. Now i have to show you two more photo's of some of mine as a thank you for showing me your dino
Mr Seal in a top hat:
The Fruit Salad:
oh my goodness!! look at them they’re so cute 🥰 i want that seal aha! lemme get a pic of my seal.
@eylah aww, that is the fluffiest seal i've ever seen. I've got a family of seals. I got the biggest one first, then i felt bad cause i didn't want him to be the only seal there, so i got another one, the second biggest, and then i thought why not and got the tiny one.
my seal is from sealife!
omg yes yes yes!! i want to show all my teddies!
i already have one but its from a long time ago. ill post on there if anyone wants to share their teddies or plushies.
@Katie awesome stuff. And, i'd just like to apologise for general chat. It wasn't the right place for any of that.
i hope you’re okay.
Thank you so much @DonnerKebab Im getting there over that experience and reflecting and trying not to dwell on it.
no problem
