Hmmm that is pretty tricky @rainbowpotato (btw I love your username! Very creative!). Perhaps you could try writing down any ideas of how you might start the conversation (doesn't have to be neat and have good spelling and grammar)? Like a brainstorm? Do you reckon that'll help? ... View more

That must be really frustrating @scared01. First teeth, now ankle! How are you been looking after yourself whilst all of this has been happening? I haven't done crochetting in yearsssss. What are you making at the moment? ... View more

Hey @scared01, how are you today? Did you manage to hear back from the hospital regarding your teeth problems? ... View more

I'm not sure whether you've come across this already @litgym, but we also have a Brooklyn Nine-Nine dedication thread here  (it hasn't been resurrected in months haha) if want to check out our love and dedication for the show in all of its gif-filled goodness (FYI, there may be spoilers, but nothing too serious haha). ...

What I like about Brooklyn Nine-Nine is that you can never get sick of rewatching the episodes over and over again @litgym. Plus, I agree with you, it is a great show to watch when you're feeling distressed. Is it your first time watching that particular episode? Or is it a rewatch? ... View more

No worries @litgym! Btw, I love Brooklyn Nine-Nine! Which episode are you watching now? ... View more

That is true @scared01! Good luck, I hope things will improve soon :D. Sending loads of hugs and support along your way :D How are your emotions doing now? ... View more

That's so good to hear that you're finding the forums really helpful @litgym! :D Oooh, what is your favourite games thread? ... View more

Oh no @scared01! Yeah I hope you'll hear back from the hospital soon too. Teeth problems really bug me out too. Are your teeth problems the reason why your emotions have been so tough lately? ... View more

that's okay @litgym - how does chatting with us make you feel? Also, are you currently seeking any professional supports at the moment? ... View more

That must be really frustrating @litgym, especially since you've already built good rapport with your usual counsellors. Is there anyone else you can think of who you could reach out for support? ... View more

Hey @scared01, sorry to hear that you think you can't do much with your emotions at the moment :(. Sending hugs along your way. Btw, Grown Ups is such a funny movie! I haven't seen that movie in ages ... View more

Hey @DruidChild, I can feel your pain, it must be really agonising, isn't it? I think it's great that you've decided to watch YouTube videos as a means of distraction. I also do that sometimes when I feel overwhelmed. How is watching YouTube videos making you feel now? ... View more

Happy belated birthday @Bee! I hope you had a great day yesterday. Thank you so much for all the amazing work you do on the forums! ... View more

Hey @Brendos94, it's good to hear from you! I'm so sorry that I couldn't get back to you sooner - like you, I've also been pretty busy lately with uni and everything. How are you going today? ... View more

I felt Spanish was easy for me because it was related to Tagalog @annabethxchase. But I reckon that the more interested you are in learning the language, the easier it'll be to learn. However, if you do end up wanting to learn Spanish, I'd also recommend you check out SpanishDict if you want an English-Spanish dictionary/translator (it's way more accurate than Google Translate. But then again, Google Translate is inaccurate for most languages haha). ... View more

Hey @bigavocado, I agree with @lokifish, the biggest upside of doing unpaid work is that there is no real pressure to commit (unlike paid work). I also find my experience at RO the best experience I've had so far that complemented my degree (psychology) as it gave me real-world exposure into what it's like supporting young people with mental health issues. I've learnt so many new things that I haven't learnt (or have yet to learn) in my degree and everyone in the RO community has been so nice and welcoming :) Feel free to keep asking us questions! I love the questions you've come up with so far :) ... View more

Hey @annabethxchase, I'm a bit multilingual (coming from an Asian background) and so I speak a bit of Tagalog (due to my Filipino heritage) and Spanish (though it's been ages since I last spoke it and so I reckon my Spanish is a bit rusty). I agree with the others, Duolingo is a great app for learning new languages! Memrise is also a great app to learn languages and so I recommend you check that out also. Both apps helped me tremendously when it came to revising for exams when I did Spanish at uni. Hope that helps! ... View more

Hey @mrmusic, first of all, congrats on making it to the final semester of your postgrad degree! I hope to be in your position one day (still stuck in undergrad haha) While I haven't had personal experience with a job agency, I have heard mixed opinions about it, where I've heard from most people in my area that it's better to seek job positions on their own accord. However, having said that, perhaps that view may not be applicable to agencies in your area, and so I guess there's no harm in giving it a go and see how it goes. Although, I do agree with @Bree-RO in that networking with others is a great way in helping you find a position as I know heaps of people who scored positions in the past by doing this. Perhaps you could also try visiting a careers counsellor/ student services at your uni? I've heard that they also give great advice to students who are about to graduate on how to successfully score positions after graduation. Good luck! I hope that you're able to find a job as music therapist :) ... View more

Hey @musicaddict, I agree with @Jess1-RO, you're an awesome friend, I agree with you, it is important to care for one other in order to maintain a good friendship :) It also kinda sucks that it's really difficult to get an appointment with a professional :(.
