Hello Forums Fam,
I thought I'd make this space for everyone to connect tonight. We can sit back and relax around the campfire!

@rav3n hmm I thought I might’ve mentioned it to u at one point but the counsellor I have now is the counsellor that also has autism so I’m now more comfortable talking to her than with every other mental health professionals that I’ve spoken to that are not autistic themselves. I started talking to her since last month

Hello @rav3n
My 2 new plants
hubby is a little bit better , not 100 percent but he is trying to change a 60 year old laundry tub for a updated one
I am staying out of his way , keeping busy with decluttering my filing cabinet
I was able to do a load of washing before he started
So just made a cuppa coffee 😁

OHH yes, you have told me this - i confused their roles. i thought the person with autism was the psych @Blackcloud thanks for clearing that up for me!
i'm glad you're feel a lot more comfy with her. do you have much on for this weekend?

@Shaz51 Your hubby is very handy love how he can fix stuff up. Sounds like he has a bit of a job with this one. I noticed you’ve been doing declutterring lately and it sounds like it’s going well.
Plants are gorgeous 🙂 You will have a lot of flowering beauties come spring that you can admire with a cuppa.
I just made a coffee too. Just got dressed and sitting on porch a bit. Sun is in and out this morning but it’s still nice out here. Heaps of birds in my yard too at the moment.

@rav3n ahh I see!! and I don't have much this weekend other than studying. And I am going shopping with my mum this Sunday.
by the way I don't think I can go on with continuing this crisis supporter role. I attended the placement workshop yesterday (this is my 2nd time attending those workshops) to practice on building/using those skills, however I've pretty much failed on that because I was really struggling to come up with things to say during the role-play that best meets the CARE framework (that lifeline is looking for).... which, no wonder that would be the reason why I probably wasn't able to achieve having a single 'completed/finished' interaction with every help seekers I've spoken to during my actual first placement shift from last month. I initially booked my second placement shift that's scheduled for tomorrow, but ever since I attended that workshop yesterday I had to withdraw that shift because I know that I'm not ready yet to talk to help seekers again... especially not at this stage since I think I'd need more time to practice and all...

With hubby's MH , he will do it but it will take him all day to fix @Cuddlebear
Trying to declutter my filing cabinet that went through our house fire
The cabinet still smells smoky and you get black fingers from the soot
Enjoy the coffee and the sunshine 🌞
It is cool and very cloudy here

@Blackcloud Hello how are you? It’s good to see you online 🙂
Sounds like you’ve got a busy study weekend and some nice shopping on Sunday. Are you going to buy anything in particular?
You know it’s really good that you gave it a shot. Do you feel a bit better now you’ve made the decision not to do the volunteering for now? It totally makes sense and as we discussed recently Life Line do need to do things better too and look at their own processes and ways of doing things.
