Hey @Redemption - just replying to you here as last week's thread has now been closed. It is understandable that your manual driving test is still worrying you, it must feel like a lot of pressure. However, I want to assure you that even if things don't go the way you want them to, this is no reflection on how hard you have tried and all the work you will have put in.
I also hear how hard it is to talk to people at work, what would you say is the main worry that stops you from starting up that first conversation?
@Billie thank you, I think its just maybe people looking down at my job and not wanting to talk to me because of it
Upset
Hey @Redemption, it must be hard feeling like people may look down on you for your job. I wonder if someone did look down on you (or anyone!) for having a certain job would you want to be friends with that person?
I know that, unfortunately, stigma around different jobs can exist in a workplace - but I want to reassure you that no one should make you feel bad for the job that you do. You deserve to feel valued.
Thank you @Billie , I probably wouldnt want to be friends with that person , what I've been realising for a while that is important to be assertive and all that, not tolerate this kind of behaviour or these kinds of people.
Thank you so much. I guess like unless you're a professional football player or got rich family or whatever you have to start somewhere, not like having any job is bad like most people probably start off in jobs that might have stigma. I know like I say this is only my start and it's a good start especially from being long term out of work, I just hope others see it like that.
hi @Nathan hru? just checking in with my favourite twat. โค๏ธ
test post
hi
โจ ๐ฏโโ๐ฎ โ๐ฎ โณโฐ โจ
Also @Billie , I worry about what you staff and others think of me too because i remember you said the other day you were an art teacher so thats quite an academic career, I take it you went uni and studied hard for that but its just my job is like a lot lesser than that and a lot lesser than most jobs , even people in the store I work in , i just feel they are superior compared to me and just well ahead of me, that store assitant is an entry level job too but their jobs aren't messy, dirty and they probably get paid more. I just feel at the bottom sometimes but I think hopefully im learning to be kinder to myself with it
hi you ok river?

I'm happy to say that I got some really good advice, pushed things with CMHT, and managed to get them to discharge me a few days back at last. My advisor actually made really good suggestions to me about them and there true intentions, helped me to find specific official documents showing that social care and mental health services were fully aware of the abuse I was going through and willingly chose to allow it to continue for years, as well as the complete stab in the back from mental health services from since I was a toddler.
