  Hi @ellie2000
  
  Its great to hear that people are listening to you and your concerns. You deserve to be heard.
  
  I hear that you are wondering what to do to stay in the present moment, is this correct? Sometimes I find specific breathing techniques can help me be more present. This is where you breathe in for 4 seconds hold for 4 seconds before breathing out for 4 seconds again.
  
  I also see how you are wondering whether to go back before the move and you mentioned being triggered. This sounds like quite a emotionally intense decision for you to make. Have you been able to share this concern with those who support you or maybe your family if you are at home?

  @Blue_lily I texted 'shout' but got no answer because I was worrying to much about next year. At home I had counselling for an issue but weekly I vented about treatment from others, so the cousilling was left open wen I left, which wasn't gd. I think they did it on purpose, did they? They sed wen I tried to tlk to my carers about their job coz im very gd at observation wen ppl keep f'ing up, but sed 'leave it for councilling' but tht wasn't wat tht councilling was there 4. The management put me on an abc this Yr n it was wen they got the huff coz they wanted to leave early, during she had the huff I was txt mum wat was being sed, the manager told the carer to leave, since then the manager had been hiding in his office.
  I filled out a form recently tht they wanted my opinion on how they were doing and I went BOOM I didn't hold back on feelings. I hav a meeting with someone higher up coz they rang n they want to tlk me next year. Bc I vented my feelings and frustrations coz I panicked. The maintenance person has been more helpful. Everything is gd. I decided I'm not goin back. I'm just venting about how the Yr has gone
  Merry Christmas

  Crazy mad insane

  @ellie2000 , how are you doing today? Thank you so much for starting this thread. It is really positive to hear that the management at your home have been listening to you more and taking those concerns seriously. You deserve to have your voice heard loud and clear!
  
  I'm sorry you weren't able to get through to SHOUT yesterday too. That sounds disappointing if you'd been wanting a space to talk, and it's really positive you were reaching out for some help.
  
  That sounds frustrating too to be told to keep your concerns about your carers for counselling only. I get the sense that left you feeling kind of shut down? Especially when, like you said, counselling is a space where maybe you wanted to get support for your mental health, rather than having to use that as a space to report issues with your home's management!!
  

  Everything is gd. I decided I'm not goin back.

  When you say that you've decided not to go back, what does that mean? It sounds like you're really trying to get your voice heard and to make positive strides towards a better living environment!
