Hey all,
I keep losing myself, I recently lost a family member to cancer and had the funeral and have been struggling for a few weeks while grieving and dealing with a few other things in my life,
I just don’t know how to help myself while im stuck in this loop. I have a lot of other stuff on my plate that I’m trying to manage and was just trying to find a space to where I can express it.
im safe

They basically said I’m unstable when it doesn’t even interfere with my volunteer role tbh, they just were like you come back when there is a support worker to support you @outlander - but the thing I don’t understand is they won’t be there all the time so I’m like how will that work if they can’t even make it or my funding gets cut. That’s my concern I need to become more independent which I was. It’s just all frustrating because if my funding gets cut I’m screwed you know.

I tried but they dismissed it, I’m so beside myself @outlander - they said I can come back when I have a support worker to support me, but what happens if my funding gets cut or I run out?
im so anxious, I meet also with outpatient tomorrow. They literally just told me to come in before my shift yesterday to have a meeting then i got told I’m not allowed to work. I even got all my shifts taken off the schedule and I can’t even schedule myself now because of them. It’s not fair to be honest

I will do @Jacques - he is very fat and when he runs his tummy jiggles which is quite funny.
