Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 Well I hope they pull it together and actually listen to what you need, especially with this awful coworker. We all deserve to have safe working conditions!

Really tough when your friends are far away. Really weird about your friend not responding either! When was the last time you contacted her? Could always try again, and maybe even express to her that you may still be in a tough spot, but that means you really do need your friends around you. Perhaps even asking why she stopped replying? Like if she got super busy that's one thing, but if she's scared then reassuring her could be helpful - you know, letting her know that all you need right now is someone to be able to chat and connect to. You could even discuss some boundaries, like letting her know you won't discuss your SI with her if that's what she needs, or something like that. Food for thought!

Yeah maybe ask your psych. Good to have the whole team on board and communicating with each other that's for sure.

I am having kangaroo stir fry! And then making scones after work, if I get time. Love me some good mindful baking hehe

Kangaroo stir-fry @Jynx

I have had BBQ kangaroo and crocodile

@Birdofparadise8 , @outlander , @Zoe7 , @tyme

Yes, so do I @Jynx

Mmm does make it tricky, but that is what it is I guess. The last time she text me was on the 21 of June,

Firstly I wrote "Do you not want to talk to me or something," she wrote "no it's just I honestly don't know how to support you, and I have to handle my own mental health too" I replied back "That's fine I understand that I just want to be friends and hangout and have some good conversations and get to know you more" I haven't heard back from her since then. I've just sent her a text now I probably won't get anything, but it's worth a try.

Ohh that sounds nice I've had kangaroo a few times.

@Shaz51 Yeah just recently got into kangaroo - it's really delicious, and I try to diversify the meat I am eating, for both health and sustainability reasons. I've never really been a beef fan anyway, so this is much better! Will have to find some crocodile next hehe.

@Birdofparadise8 Sounds like she's scared, doesn't know what to say, and is afraid to say the wrong thing; or maybe she has her own triggers related to suicide. I hope she does reply, fingers crossed.

Both having kangaroo @Shaz51 @Jynx

Hey @Shaz51

Yeah, maybe I'll have to wait and see @Jynx. Friend am I right so hard? I just want my friend back at ballet in Hobart they are so nice.

Crocodile sounds a bit worrisome what does it take like @Shaz51? I'm intrigued.

Sitting with you @Birdofparadise8 🥰

Had cooked eel in new Zealand @Jynx , years ago

Thank you @Shaz51

How are you?

@Birdofparadise8 You still in contact with your hobart friends? Maybe you could set up a lil video chat with one or more of them for next week when you know things are gonna be extra tough.

Oh I haven't tried eel @Shaz51 sounds interesting! I have never really liked seafood but if it's river eel maybe it would be nice? No salty ocean vibes, just nice fresh river vibes 😂

I've had llama and I also quite like deer. Had crocodile when I was super young up in NT - I don't remember what it tasted like but my parents claimed it was kinda like chicken.

It was smoked eel @Jynx , @Birdofparadise8 I found it nice

Yes I am like you with crocodile @Jynx , it tasted fine
