It's a job position, I appreciate you asking bro.
I thought it was. Hope you get that position, you've been wanting one for a good while now.
Thanks so much mate, I appreciate the encouragement. I hope you're ok
Did you get the position?
Not sure yet, the interview is on Tuesday
Oh, I thought it was today. Anyway, you say your struggling, why is that?
Sorry i should have been more specific. I had some family issues on the weekend and it keeps replaying in my head.
I can relate, I have had some family struggles as well, mainly with my mum.
Would it feel helpful to share a bit more about what happened? Which parts of the weekend were the hardest for you? We're right here with you to listen if you'd like, but please feel no pressure.
You mentioned you were struggling last night too, and that sounds really tiring. I wonder what you feel you might need to care for yourself today? What would feel comforting?
Its not fun, Im sorry you have had it too
@Sian321 I made some recent threads about it, if you wanna check them out. Saturday was fine last week but Sunday was horrible. Im going keep reaching out to help me, I went on shout but keep forgetting I opened a conversation with them either mid chat or in the queue. It just happened earlier and a few times, basically I have my text notifications switched off just so they don't annoy me etc but yh I forgot. I keep doing that.
Thank you @Sian321 ❤️
I just got up like ten minutes ago so I have no idea.
Family issues again?
Its not still going on but its just replaying in my head what happened last week
@eylah i'm here for you my favourite twat
i am rly going through so much atm. with shit in my head
@eylah you don't deserve to be going through any of that at all. Especially someone as kind and awesome as you are. I'm glad your seeing your favourite doctor, and getting some support from them, but i do really understand the feeling of loneliness.
And i know this won't make much difference, but i'm really glad you do exist, as are so many people. Your a bright light of warmth and kindness in an otherwise cold dark world, and you make such a huge impact for the better on the people around you.
I know I'm only online, but i want you to know that you aren't completely alone. I'm gonna be online for the next 30 minutes or so to talk to, or if you just want a bit of company.
We are all here for you @eylah ❤️
@mai i know this might not make much difference, but i really do understand what it takes for a person to get to that point. Where it's just something after the other, again and again, over and over, slowly breaking a person down over time, until it gets to the point where it just becomes tiring to even be alive. I really do understand what that's like, and whilst i know it might not seem this way at times, there's no guarantee it will be like that forever or will stay like that. You're still here, you're still fighting on day after day, still advancing and making progress by making it day after day, and you should be proud of that. It's one of the hardest battles there is.
I know this might sound silly, but i'm in the exact same place. And whilst it's scary, and exhausting, The thing that gets me through day by day is trying to find even the smallest moments of happiness i can, no matter how fleeting it is, and holding on to them for dear life. Even a 5 minute escape (i get mine from feeding the ducks at the park), makes the days a little more bearable. Sort of like an anchor in a storm, making it easier to hold on. It doesn't fix anything, but it does make things a little bit more tolerable, at least in my case it does.
I really hope this advice helps you, even just a little bit, mai.
