'How can we support you?' How would you answer this?

[Former-Member]

I've said those exact things before @Former-Member and feel it has sometimes (often) gone past fix-it people. Hearing (reading) them like that reminds me they are so important to keep pushing for and I think I will use the meeting to put them out there in plain simple words again, as the most important ways I can be supported. Thank you tooky x

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!

[Former-Member]

Oh yes it does @Former-Member
But we are hear cheering you on. Go you!!!
Can i ask what your job is....? I

@Former-Member print out some of the images @Former-Member has drawn and take them with you - then we all WILL be with you

I can hear and feel it thanks @Former-Member 💛 I'll reply to your question somewhere else 🙂

[Former-Member]

I'll be there...  have a look at @Former-Member 's super cool drawing thread...   see that Tooky on the toadstool?  That will be me on your shoulder.  Whispering....  tell them...     "try to understand, dont invalidate, I'm really trying."

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

[Former-Member]

Who is zoe07? She gets a lot of my tags lol. Thanks @Zoe7 (without the 0 ), @Former-Member and @Former-Member.

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 !!!!

An angry @Former-Member sounds terrifying for a children's book @Zoe7 haha! That cross ant 😮
