Fancy a cuppa , Connect now 2

Hi guys

@heartathome @Cuddlebear @Chasingsunsets @Ru-bee and others..

hope you guys are doing okay

Hey @Blackcloud 😊, thanks for the tag, how’s your day going?

Sorry to hear about your shift the other day. Seems like you were dealt with some challenging cards the other day, it was unexpected for me to hear that can happen and think you are amazing that you volunteer to help others. I hope you are doing ok afterwards and I guess it’s all learning about how to navigate different people, even when confronting and intense. You got this 😊 💫

@Blackcloud Hello lovely how are you? I’m not ok I’m really struggling.

Hey @Blackcloud @Chasingsunsets good to see you both here. How are you both today?

Hi @Chasingsunsets I’m not doing too bad at the moment, thanks. ☺️

it can happen definitely yeah. Lucky most of the consumers/help seekers I’ve talked to are alright/not bad/good but there are a few of those ones that are range from being completely direct and honest about things to you which comes from what you’ve responded to them with that they don’t like about to people that are being straight up weird and unwelcome (well I’ve only had only 1 weird interaction so far which happened on Sunday — I’m glad the help seeker didn’t respond further cause otherwise he probably would’ve continued saying some other strange things including potentially straight-up inappropriate/s3xual ones, but so far 0 unwelcoming or straight up inappropriate interactions yet), so debriefing about it to my supervisors helps.

I’m also thankful that because I volunteer on the chat-based department that it’s good to know that the people youre talking to, you can’t see their faces and they can’t see your face either so it feels a lot more secured and comfortable/safe that way, than if it’s over the phone or face to face.

Hi @Ru-bee I’m not doing too bad, thanks. How about you?

im gonna go to the movies with my support worker again this Saturday @Chasingsunsets ☺️

@Cuddlebear not to bad at the moment my friend, thank you.

I just want to say that even though the situation you’re going through right now is continuing to have an impact on you mentally and emotionally, I’m so proud of you for continuing to push through even when everyday feels like there’s no light at the end of the tunnel. The most important thing is you being here with us and continuing to talk to us even throughout the toughest periods in your life. I’m sending many infinite hugs ❤️❤️❤️

Hi @Ru-bee 👋, how are you today?

I am ok thanks, on days off now which is great! Got lots to get done but I decided I need to just take it slow today it’s been very fast paced lately and likely going to get very fast soon so just wanted to take a day to chill I think 😀

Hi @Blackcloud that sounds so awesome re movies I am sure you are looking forward to that!! 🍿😀

sorry my support button isn’t working 😌

hey @Cuddlebear sorry to hear you are struggling my friend, sitting with you 💜🫶

Hey @Cuddlebear sorry to hear that you're having a hard time today. Is there anything we can do to support you today? ❤️

@Blackcloud @Chasingsunsets I'm having a bit of a tired day today so I'm making myself another cuppa to help to get my through the afternoon
