Better to be super early than super late.
Hey @Ech0 - thank you so much for the support, I really appreciate it. My work is all finished until next week now, so I'm planning on resting more this week and hopefully I'll feel a little bit better after that. I hope you're doing okay, I'm here for you as well
I'm really glad to hear they were helpful and you were able to get some support
@Nemuritai thanks. I really appreciate that a huge amount. Returning fire with 2 bear hugs (if that's okay) 😂
@eylah hey my favourite twat
im so angry at the world. ( not angry at anyone here btw ).
i just want to be happy. but im not
@eylah I dont think theres anyone in this world who deserve happiness more than you my favourite twat
I know it might not seem this way at times, but one day, you'll get that happy life you deserve.
@so_very_tired that sounds so exhausting. Hopefully you can have a rest once you've finished.
thankyou so much. honestly thankyou
@eylah its crushing is what it is. But you know what's incredible. Despite all the hell you've been through, all the pain, and all the shittyness, you're still one of the kindest people ever, and you never let that pain change who you are at heart. That is truly incredible, and you should be so so proud of yourself my favourite twat ❤️
You didnt deserve any of the pain you've gone through at all.
thankyou so much!

Not knowing what you want for the long term is frightening, especially when daily tasks already feel overwhelming. Seeking something closer to home and less physically taxing is completely reasonable, particularly when the commute, fuel costs, early mornings, and darkness wear you out before the day begins. Anyone would have a hard time with that.
Realising that this role isn’t where you want to be doesn’t mean you’ve failed or made a mistake. It just shows you’re learning what doesn’t fit you, and that is important. The fact that you’ve shared your concerns with the program demonstrates self-awareness and that you’re looking out for yourself, even when things feel heavy.
I completely understand how difficult comparisons can be. Observing others' lives can make you feel as if you’re behind or stuck, but that doesn’t reflect your value or potential. You aren’t defined by your job, your car, or your current situation. You’re doing what you can with what you have and that is more than enough.
And I hear you that it can be challenging to feel gratitude. You can feel appreciative for what you have and who you are while still feeling tired, frustrated, and uncertain. They don’t negate each other and can exist side by side. Your feelings matter and so do you.
I completely understand how frustrating and overwhelming this feels for you. It makes total sense that you don’t want to go somewhere you’re uncomfortable and if the plans don’t appeal to you. Your feelings and preferences absolutely matter. It’s completely okay to not want to go, even if other people have already made plans or there’s pressure at home. Choosing what feels right for you doesn’t make you difficult or ungrateful, just shows that you understand yourself and what makes you feel comfortable, safe and cared for.
I’m very sorry it feels like you don’t have much say and that things at home are so complicated. That sounds really heavy and overwhelming. I hope that, even if you do end up going on the holiday, you can find little ways to look after yourself. You deserve to have your feelings listened to and respected and there is nothing wrong with standing by what works for you.
I’m really glad you’re doing something like colouring that’s helping, even if only a little. Taking care of yourself shows how strong and brave you are and it is important, even when everything feels overwhelming.
Even on the toughest days, I hope you can find little moments that feel lighter where you can breathe and rest.We’re all here for you in this community, to cheer you on, listen, support, and remind you how much you matter. You’ve faced so much and kept your heart open through it all which is not easy and is worth celebrating. I hope tonight you can let yourself feel comfort, hope and the knowledge that you are valued and cared for, just as you are. I am sure you will find that happiness you look for and that it is waiting for you because you absolutely deserve it.
