Don't care too much

I wish dad was here I want to cry life is too much right now

Hey @Sunnyside226 🙂 what were you going to ask me?

@Ru-bee I'll ask later

I'm screaming I'm crying. I want the pain to go I wish he was here to sit with me I need him

I'm sorry to hear you're upset right now @Sunnyside226 Did something happen?

Here if you need to talk about it

Hey @Ru-bee I'm sorry I was rude to you earlier. I never meant to be rude I'm sorry

I've gone down hill with mental health. I don't like sharing that because I'm worried people on here will judge or laugh

sometimes I don't know how to explain what's going the thoughts have been bad and dark I think it's because I want dad he's not around. i went to visit him on Saturday. It felt like the time to be with him i miss him more then ever

I'm all alone I'm alone in this I'm in a mess

@Ru-bee I don't want to annoy you with me issues

That's okay @Sunnyside226 I didn't feel as though you were rude to me at all

It's okay if you don't feel able to talk about how you're feeling right now. I can just sit with you, or we can talk about something else if that's helpful?

Just sit with me and talk about anything please @Ru-bee have you been knitting anything lately?

My question I had for you if you are comfortable answering

What made you be a peer support worker? What do you find interesting about it? Etc like you want learn or just be there for others.

@Ru-bee feel free to not answer I'm just getting to know everyone different sides has to how and why they chose peer support 💙

Yeah, I just finished knitting a beanie and a balaclava @Sunnyside226 and I'm about to start on a cardigan. Trying to make a few warm, cosy pieces before winter

Have you been doing any drawing lately?

That's a good question. I didn't originally set out to be a peer support worker, I studied to be a counsellor, but I wanted to do that because I like listening to people and wanted to have a job that felt like I was doing something good, and I'd had my own times when I'd needed support and wanted to be that person for others. I got into peer work once I'd already started working in mental health and realised all of the different roles that exist that I didn't know about when I started studying years ago. I really enjoy it and feel lucky to be able to do it as my job 🙂

@Ru-bee what's happening with me I feel trapped and the thoughts are there

That sounds nice to knit that does it take long? Have you ever knitted socks? That would be cool

I did one drawing last week I draw a puppy 😀

That's a cool thing to study to be a counsellor that takes a lot of patience to do that good you put yourself out there find things you wanted to be/do. @Ru-bee I don't know if I understood right. But do you find having the same issue has some people help you to understand? ( Sorry if that didn't come out right)

Also I don't know if you have kids but will you watch the new Movie?

What thoughts are you having @Sunnyside226? I'm sorry to hear that you're feeling trapped right now

The two hats I knit didn't take too long, I knit them both last week, but I'm guessing the cardigan might take 2 or 3 weeks, depending on how much time I get to work on it.

That drawing sounds cute! What sort of puppy was it?

That's another good question. I think that supporting someone who has had the same issues as me can help me to understand a little better, but I think it's also important for me to not assume that their experience was exactly like mine and to stay curious and ask questions to learn what it feels like for them. Does that make sense?

Which new movie? I just watched the Wild Robot last night, have you seen that?
