I’m so sorry to hear you’ve been going through this for a long time and that this is especially a hard time. It is so good to hear that you’re taking part in activities you enjoy, like horse riding. That’s really valuable! Have you got any more self care plans?      ... View more

Hi @Tiny_leaf, I am so sorry to hear that you are going through a really difficult period right now, I am so proud of you for seeking support, that is not an easy step to take. You are really strong, coping with this experience and simultaneously coordinating the appointments. It sounds like you are struggling with the the feeling of not liking yourself. Has this been quite recent that you have started feeling this way? It can be so hard to create self love and to feel that you deserve love and support from others. I understand this feeling and I am also trying to find a way through it too. I wanted to suggest a video which recently helped me as I was feeling very badly about myself. The video is part of an audiobook and this chapter moved me to tears. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tWa-4vSEak I recognise it may not be useful for you, that is totally ok! Each person is beautifully unique and if this is not helpful, I believe that you will find something that helps you. It sounds like last night was difficult for you and I wanted to check in and see how you are this morning?. I am so glad to hear you're safe and you processed these feelings in a creative way. I like that idea and may use it one day when I need it too. I can't speak to the process of receiving support from Headspace as well @JM-RO and @WheresMySquishy but I really do hope that you receive the support you want. ... View more

I am really glad I found this thread today. I think the universe is reminding me how great self love feels even in the face of external criticism! 1. I am strong 2. I am self aware 3. I am warm ... View more

Hey @mspaceK I feel like maybe it could be your body telling you that it still needs a little bit of time to rest and recover. Do you think this might be the case? If you couldn't attend to any or all the things you wanted to do yesterday/today thats okay too! Are you feeling a little bit better today? ... View more

Hey @Hozzles ! Let me first say that I admire your choice to intermit your university for a semester. Those decisions can be hard to make, and recognising and responding to your needs is a big accomplishment! It sounds like you are going through a tough time at the moment and the added pressure of looking for work is understandably taking a toll! I just wanted to reassure you that are you absolutely not inadequate or worthless! Finding a job is just one of those things that is tough for everyone. Unfortunately rejections are common, if not entirely inevitable, no matter what stage in your career you are in. I understand that even knowing that it can he hard to not take those rejections personally. I was wondering what kind of jobs you are interested in? Having this in mind, it might be good for you to try writing down some of your motives and strengths which make you a strong candidate. I did this recently for my job hunt and it didn't only help me speak more confidently during interviews, but having a premade list of why I could be a valuable employee helped me take the rejection that little bit less personally. It may or may not help you too, but hopefully you find something that works for you! ... View more

xXLexi_Lou122Xx this is awesome news! I find connecting with new people can be a little bit intimidating at times so it is definitely something you should be very proud of! ... View more

I loved reading everyone’s answer! Feel like I leant a few new things! My turn :)     Would you rather explore a new planet or the deepest parts of the ocean? Why? Probably a new planet because I’ve watched finding nemo and I know how scary those deep sea fish are!!!    If you had to teach a subject, what would it be? I would love to teach Ancient Greek mythology, I love hearing and telling a good story!   What motivates you to succeed? Knowing what the outcome will be whether it’s seeing personal growth, finishing a piece of writing, seeing a performance come together or helping someone and seeing them succeed, I just cannot wait!!!   How would you survive a zombie apocalypse? I have an irrational fear of zombies, can’t even watch them on TV, so I think the good old freeze response might be the only thing I can do.   If you were an animal, what would you be and why? Wouldn’t hate being a wolf, other than being majestic, they take care of their old and sick. I respect the pack environment :)   What kind of magical power would you like to have? I dream about flying a bunch so think it’s time! (Sorry my bold function stopped working but also happy to emphasise this anyway)   Whose turn next? :)         ... View more
