Red's house

Red's house

Hi, I haven't been here consistently for a little while. Shutting myself off felt safer. I was formed after being suicidal last month. I needed to remove myself from online worlds for my safety and that of others. I'm doing better now, I'm just stressed out.

I enrolled myself to full time study at tafe in a few weeks. Getting that all done pushed me to my limits. But im looking forward. I have dreams. I have hopes. I have desires.

I want to pursue my business and my art talents. I will be doing a cert iv in business to give myself the skills to thrive in this. I want to have a future, which is great but scary. It gives the opportunity for failure. But also success. I got this.

Breathe, Red, breathe, create you're safe place. This thread I'll be hanging out more and try not to be too down or hard for myself. If anyone wants to hang out at my place they are always welcome.

There's always tea and coffee, with biscuits if desired. In this winter the fire is on and we can Chillax

@Just thanks for that link.

I found a dog today.....it had escaped its house and followed me home from the park. I was terrified it would get hit by a car. I called its owner when I got home. It's now safe back in her owm home.  

I'm just glad it's ok

Hi everyone. Hope you're cozy this chilly solstice morning.

I have my learning access interview with tafe today. I'm really anxious I won't be able to get the support i need at tafe. As well as my mental health condition, I have a few disabilities, autism and adhd. I couldn't get all the documentation in time and there is only so much information my psychologist and OT put on my medical info forms.

I don't have much formal documentation on anything because I didn't keep it years ago when I moved states. Now not keeping any medical shit related to my past to keep it there might bite me.

Idk how the meeting will go. I hope they don't think I'm just making shit up to get out of being a good student. Sigh.

I know I'm kinda catastrophising but I just want to be able to do well at tafe and get a little help to make sure that happens.

Nice that the puppy felt he/she could trust you. Dogs are so lovely. You must feel very relieved, he's safe.

@Just it was good to see her home safe.

I reckon if U just copy and past what you wrote here, about really wanting to do well. It might just get you where you want to go. Take some of your best art work too. It's really good. Good luck 👍🤞

Today has been hard. I made some bad decisions. I'll most likely regret. I don't want to face it anymore.

I'm not suicidal but just wanting to not get back up. It feels pointless.

Just keep taking one day at a time. You never know what's waiting just around the corner.

Maybe it's a sign of where your true calling is. Have you considered pet grooming. Dog minding. Or supervisor at a doggy day care. Or ??? Maybe bird minding? The sky's the limit. Maybe the puppy was a sign.
