It's Friday Night if it's not how you hoped please know you are seen, and we are so glad you are here

It's Friday Night if it's not how you hoped please know you are seen, and we are so glad you are here

I hope however this finds you tonight, you allow these words to carry you till sunrise and through the weekend.

You exist

You exist, you matter, there is purpose in your life despite what’s been thrown your way

It sometimes may feel fruitless, or wasteful but trust me, it’s important what you have to say

Don’t be swayed by the spectators that only see small portions on the outside

For the truth remains within, so much is left, be found in the drive that keeps you alive

Remember the inspirations, the encouragements that have held you along

Let the journey be an adventure, have faith at the end of it all you’ll find where you belong

You’re not a mistake, an accident, don’t let yourself be faltered by that belief

When you find value in what matters to you and chase it, you’ll find relief

It’s ok everyone won’t notice and it may appear that your cheers squad is small

But the essence of your individuality is significant, so never forget be proud, stand tall

So please don’t let the premise of what holds you together be overthrown

You are here, you exist, I am so grateful that on this earth you are known

Thanks @Former-Member . It's Friday night, I am an individual and I will not be suppressed by others.

@MJG017 tonight's thoughts.

I've only recently discovered peer support work. I am a social worker and behaviour analyst and always had to be tactful with how I showed my support with understanding. When I first met a peer support worker it was incredible. I am so glad it's a role know and is so helpful. I hope one day if I can go back to work it will be in that capacity.

@Former-Member The whole peer support, and especially the lived experience part is new to me as well. Its just been so incredible in helping me this past 6 months. A couple of weeks ago I enrolled in a Cert IV - Mental Health - Peer Work course for next year just to try and get more involved.

@Former-Member

Such a heartfelt post.

Exhausted after the downs of the week. Lying in bed alone while he stays up watching TV. I'm crying, feeling taken for granted.

I just want to stay in bed forever.

I am so sorry @Carebear

It's hard when we are in company and yet feel more alone. I am sorry that is your present experience.


I am glad you came here and reached out. I know this has been a positive space for me to feel supported. I hope you can find a piece of that tonight.

This is a very supportive place.

As much as I am struggling I hope others find peace tonight.

It is hard to feel seen when you feel all alone. I live with my husband who is very illl. He has borderline personality disorder. But he and I came down with covid about three weeks ago and he has deteriorated since then. I do not know what is wrong with. Him but he has gone from slight shakes to not being able to do anything for himself. He spills and drops everything. He is also having trouble speaking and walking. I tried taking him to emergency but he got inpatient and we had to leave. We cannot see his Doctor till Monday. I feel so frustrated. He just wants to be dead and for life to be over. I have CPTSD and am still getting over covid. He usually takes care of me. I am afraid for his health he has other health conditions that he is not taking care of.
