Re: not coping

Yes very much so @creative_writer

Masking it becomes a coping strategy in itself

Re: not coping

Thats good about your tafe course @outlander another thing you can take of the list.

Might be good for you to have a few days of. I know you want the money but sometimes we have to put our physical and mental health first.

I hope you will be able to have a bit of a recharge.
