@Redemption I’m really sorry you’re having to deal with so much all at once. That’s a huge amount for one person to carry and it makes complete sense that it feels relentless and exhausting.
We are proud of you for still taking steps forward, even while you’re overwhelmed. Reaching out to the company shows how much you’re trying to look after yourself and your future. I hope the company respond quickly to the email about the wages and take it seriously because having that sorted would take at least one heavy thing off your shoulders.
The dizziness sounds frightening, especially when your mind jumps to worst-case scenarios and your driving licence is such an important part of your independence and security. Anyone in your position would feel worried by that. You’ve experienced this before and you know how it tends to behave for you. Given how much pressure you’ve been under and how little rest you’ve had, it’s completely understandable that your body might respond like this though I know it’s still scary when it happens. I really hope your dizziness eases soon and that you feel better soon.
I truly hope you’re able to get some well-deserved rest soon and that things start to brighten up. Even though it feels like one thing after another, it is okay to take things at your own pace. You’ve already been handling more than what many people could and that’s more than enough. Please know you don’t have to face this alone. We are here to listen and to help however we can.
Thank you @Ech0 , dizziness has gone for now just everything else causing me a headache tbh
I had a call about a complaint about me so that sucks especially on top everything else and its fuelling my fear of getting sacked
I'm having a hard day. I just feel like nothing I do is ever good enough and my parents have been acting as if everything that goes wrong is my fault and it's been getting me down recently.
Honestly feel so tired to be fair at the moment. Like I'm an intern so my work hours aren't much compared to full time work but damp I just feel exhausted all the time.
Im so overwhelmed atm, just this call, also i just kinda borrowed a bit of money from js just for expenses but yh I technically have a bit of debt now, ugh its so overwhelming, Im sorry drained its 1 thing after another and none stop completely
hey
Got into an argument with my brother, he hit me round the face and yanked my pyjama hoodie. Now my throat slightly hurts and he stretched my hoodie.
i’m here for you <3 everything you do is gd enough!! ❤️🫂you’re a wonderful kind person. who deserves nothing but the best in this world!
are you ok? if the pain n discomfort gets worse pls call 111 for advice.
Im really sorry that happened @so_very_tired how are you now?
we’re here for you! it’s ok to borrow money. i understand why you would feel this way but it’s ok n we don’t see you any differently then before bc we all get it. ❤️
@eylah The pain is pretty much non-existent so I'm probably not going to bother calling anyone, but thanks for the advice.
@Redemption I'm fine the conflict is over now, so I'm fine. Thanks.
No worries SVT, I'm glad the pain is barely there now.
so sry to hear that you’re feeling exhausted all the time amy. is there anything you can do to yourself that is simple but kind? bc you deserve to be kind to yourself etc.
don’t feel like you have to do everything all at once bc you don’t have to. it’s ok to take things one day at a time. <3
Thank you Eylah, I'm probably going to pay it back soon just yh, I always wanna stay 0 debt unless a mortgage or somet
Sounds like such a stressful and tricky situation @so_very_tired, thanks for sharing that with us. I'm hearing that the physical pain has reduced and the conflict is over now, which is good to hear. How are you feeling after what happened I wonder?
I feel fine about now, this happens to me every now and then so I'm not exactly under a lot of stress right now.
Im screwed if I get fired from tjis role, apparently employers can sack you for anything as long as its not discrimination under 2 years, like any mistake or whatever can be like boom, Im back to square one, its so tough, I don't know if I can take another setback like this again
I really really appreciate that, thank you @eylah 🩷
wanted to share a new support line i found.
it’s called ‘take back your mind uk’ it’s the best helpline ive found! they’re so so supportive. you can webchat them any time between 7am - 10pm. or book an appointment through their website. or if you prefer you can book a chat by call or video call. but you can also just drop in for a chat between those hours. <3

Thank you @eylah I'll deffo check them out, very kind of you
I think its an easy mistake to fix, like I just need to ask someone but its tough knowing how much employers have they could just let people go after any small reason
I’m worried about ending up back to square one and getting sacked. I’m only just getting used to having a job and a routine, but it can all be taken away. The problem is fixable, maybe I could ask someone in the store for guidance, but employers can legally sack me under two years unless it’s discrimination. I’ve been kicked out of college and courses before, so someone paying me will be stricter. Life’s tough, people can lose their livelihoods over small things, and there’s no proof but it could happen. I’d like to build a passive side hustle I’m passionate about, but I want to be realistic. They haven’t given warnings or said step up your game, so if I get sacked there’s nothing I can do. It’s probably a multi-million pound company, the manager isn’t a millionaire, and I’m scared of risk since I’ve seen people get into debt. Everything feels hard. I just want to work my job, stay in it, and have an income, but even that feels difficult. I just feel like crying.
Hey @Redemption asking someone in the store for guidence sounds like a really good idea and it sounds like the mistake wasn't too serious, I'm sure there will be someone around who's happy to give you some guidance, it's completely okay to ask others for advice, do you feel like asking would give you some ease on the situation?
Hey @Verity you're online late haha, thank you though. I do think it would ease the situation
crying.
@Nemuritai I am really sorry to hear that you are having a difficult day,
I want you to know that what even though things go wrong sometimes, it doesn’t mean it’s your fault and it definitely doesn’t mean you’re failing because you are human and trying so hard. That matters more than you may realise, even if it is not always seen or acknowledged.
It really hurts to feel blamed and misunderstood by the people who are supposed to support you the most. That kind of pressure can make anyone start doubting themselves. I hate that you’ve been carrying that around on your own because you shouldn’t have to.
You are already more than enough, exactly as you are, and you never have to earn your right to be cared about. You deserve kindness, patience, and understanding simply for being you and you deserve the freedom to be imperfect just like everyone else.
You’re such a lovely supportive and kind person and you deserve the very best. I am here for you.
@eylah Thank you very much for sharing, it means a lot and is very thoughtful of you. I am so glad you have found a helpline that has been a positive experience for you.
I am so sorry. If you wish to talk about what’s hurting, I’m here to listen.
But if you would prefer not to or don’t have the words yet, that’s completely okay too. You’re not alone in this and I know there are brighter days ahead.
thankyou. i’m abt to have a bath then go to sleep bc im rly tired this weather is exhausting lol.
