I can’t cope

Hi @Bow

Writing a book is my dream! I used to be a journalist and love to write. Now I just need a topic to write about!'

So I did my peer work course via MHCC. I'll put the link here.

It's all done online so may suit you. I really enjoyed it and the trainers were great.

Good on you for jumping on the exercise bike every day - that's quite inspiring. It sounds like you have some really great hobbies @Bow. Your book writing sounds really interesting!

It's a shame tafe don't offer peer support online. What a shame it's only on campus and the campus isn't near you. I think you would be a really good peer worker 🙂

We all need validation and love in our life @Captain24 and it’s really rough that you don’t receive that from your parents- I’m really sorry 😞

do you live with your folks @Captain24 ?

A nice afternoon walk sounds like a good plan, and maybe perhaps it won’t be a bad as you anticipate?

sitting here with you

Oh as an ex journalist you would be an amazing book writing @hanami ! Do you have any possible topics you could write about?

this is actually my second book. I’m 60 pages in. it’s a bit all over the place at the moment though, but I am enjoying writing it.

and thanks for the link to MHCC. I will keep that in my memory bank for later.

I think of different topics but then change my mind lol.

I'm very indecisive. I used to imagine being a fiction writer but you have to be so creative for that.

❤️❤️❤️

It is really rough @Bow but I guess now it’s been pointed out that they are not capable of it I just have to get over it. So glad I never had kids so that I couldn’t do the same to them. No I live about 5 kms from them.

Now that I see them in a different light maybe I can try to accept them for how they are. You’re right @FloatingFeather maybe the walk will be better than I think.

Writing a book sounds interesting. Good on you! I think you would be great at peer work. If I get through this I’d like to be able to give back.

Hey @Captain24

Sorry to hear today hasn't been much better for you. It did make me smile when you said 'if you get through this you want to give back'. I would change the 'if' to 'when' though. I have faith you'll get through this. You sound like you have such a good heart and would be amazing at supporting others.

Sending hugs

I’m glad someone has faith @hanami ! Not sure how much I have.

There was an incident that happen at work Friday night. I was with a young girl who was on her first night shift. My job was to keep her awake and safe. We had an incident that was quite scary and common. It was her first time. I was worried but I stayed calm and kept her calm until it was resolved. I saw a glimpse of the old me so I’m holding onto hope that maybe I’m still in there somewhere.

That's so great. It's funny how no matter how down we feel, when others need us we can step up and help as needed ❤️

Hey @Captain24 ,

Sounds like things have been tough. Hope you've been able to sit down for a cuppa.
