'How can we support you?' How would you answer this?
I have a meeting with the different people I work with coming up (a case meeting) and I've been asked to think about how they can best support me. I have been thinking about it a lot but nothing comes to me. To me it shows how 'stuck' I'm feeling, because if I could think of anything, I would be doing it myself. I'm trying to throw everything I can into getting out of my rut and don't want to miss an opportunity to be heard, but at the moment I have nothing to say. I'm super nervous about this meeting and trying to stay calm and I think it would be good if I could go in to it with something, anything. I know every person and their situation is unique, but maybe it would help to hear how others would respond.
So I'm wondering, if you were asked by a worker how they could support you, what might you say?

Maybe you could all come to the meeting so I feel I have a team of people cheering me on haha?! I'm seriously 'flipping it' lol at the thought. It's deer in headlights stuff and the sooner it's over the better I think. Anxiety has a great way of making overwhelming things feel impossible!
Cheers wonderful people. Thanks for getting it!

Great idea @zoe07! Maybe I'll do a forum themed little doodle as well while I'm 'flipping' it in my notebook I'll have with me. The power of people connecting is amazing x

You could draw all the different faces of @Former-Member - when she 'takes the stance', when she doesn't, when she is angry, sad etc. We could do a whole set of children's books on emotions with @Former-Member as the central character - now that would be super cool in storyboard form !!!!
