It is hard for 4 weeks straight @Bow I know that feeling

It does affect a lot of people not just us.

It's hard when they think that way. Sometimes I don't think they ask as they don't want to know the answer. Easier for them not to know.

Oh my head was not in a good place listening to them talk nrl for so long @Jynx was desperately wanting for him to shut up and leave. I was getting angry.

and no, I’m a female only worker. But in the office everyone helps to lead groups.

im not sure I will bother going to groups tomorrow.

I’ll tell my CM something that I’m dealing with, or something I gotta face and she will without a doubt reply with… but you can do it. You’ve done it before… you’re more than capable etc etc. shuts me down immediately. Why even bother trying to talk to her about it @Snowie

Can understand that @Bow bit like what my psych said to me today.

Yes we have done it before, but it doesn't make it any easier this time. At the time we can't see out the other side.

@Bow I mean I'd shrivel up and have to suppress my rage if someone talked footy at me even when I'm not feeling crappy! Need a lil business card or something that says 'this conversation is sending me over the edge and I need it to end' 😅

Very legit hun, if you're feeling extra vulnerable and not wanting to be in that environment, I think it's totally fair to give it a miss.

Heya @Snowie you're having a rough time with your supports too atm? Here for ya hun 💜

Exactly @Snowie ! Mighta done it 20 x before, but when ya in that place ya can’t see past right now. Urgh

Was like a foreign language @Jynx @one of them cards would actually be really helpful.

I’ll curl up in bed under the blankets instead . That’s where I spent this afternoon. Been feeling far to vulnerable and unsafe to do anything else

rough everything @Jynx

@Bow it's hard when people just assume you can get through it again. I know they are trying to find a positive, but sometimes we just need someone to listen without trying to finding a solution.

My psych says you've got through it before, you can again. Doesn't help when all I want to do is not exist.

@Bow could always make a deck of communication cards for yourself! Next artistic endeavour? Be happy to help you brainstorm what you'd want written 😉

Sometimes curling up in bed is exactly what we need to do hun! Especially with how cold it is atm, brrr!! Your D around for some cuddles too?

@Snowie aww hun, sorry things are so crappy for you right now. I totally get you, sometimes it's better when folks don't try to make us feel better, but see us and accept us for where we're at in this moment. Also reminded me of this lil comic, lol:
