Running

Oh we beating up walls today @avant-garde? Yeah take that, wall!

Haha how you going?

@Jynx

I hear kicking the actual person the frustration is targeted at isn't advisable

So walls it is.

I think I've learned my lesson about any classes run by a stupid beeping teacher who doesn't know $#!+ about what she's teaching! AVOID AT ALL COSTS! she's the one getting beeping period while I instruct better than she does!

*kicks wall some more*

@avant-garde *nods solemly* yahuh very wise. *kicks wall a lil too*

Sounds soooo frustrating. Sounds like she's not really up to the standard you're looking for and so it would totally feel like a waste of your time hey. So, you won't go back or...?

@Jynx

If I knew it was her running it I wouldn't have gone today.

It's just a sporadic community workshop so no long term commitment thank goodness.

What I find frustrating is when my knowledge gets taken advantage of while she's the one getting paid.

It's triggering for me when I feel like I'm getting taken advantage of

@avant-garde Hello! I thought I would check back in after last night, how are things feeling for you today? 💛

@AuntGlow

Had to turn the radio off a couple of times today with talk about "how was your mother's day".

The assumption that I'm not a mother hurts when I know I am, just because my children never saw this earth doesn't make me any less a mother.

That and feeling like I was being taken advantage of this afternoon hurt and triggered me so it makes for a bit of a bad mood.

@avant-garde ach that sucks too, to have had this woman... inflicted upon you unexpectedly.

Idea for next time, could you call ahead to find out who is teaching?

Yeah absolutely, that would be so triggering. We all deserve to feel like our contributions are recognised, our efforts valued. That's rough hun, hugs 🫂🫂

@Jynx

Great minds think alike, I'm there multiple times a week usually and get along with the staff so I can just ask.

I think she's just out of her depth.

But after yesterday I'm just tired now

@Jynx

*curls up quietly in the corner crying*

@avant-garde *curls up nearby like a kitty cat*

I bet. I wish there were more understanding for how exhausting it is to be managing triggered states so often.
