The Weekly Friday Feast

[Crazy_Bug_Lady]

I have had an unbelievably shitty week.

To the point where I am amazed I didn't off myself.

I am safe enough. I know the helplines.

I was reading a book earlier, which has managed to make me feel worse.

By the way, theres a series of books by Scott Westerfield called 'uglies' 'pretties' and 'specials'.

Do not read! Or do, whatever. Whooole heap of triggers. Body perfection, self harm. Oh my word so much sh. Not good to read while I'm so fragile atm...

Oh no @WombatBoots, thats so frustrating!! Ive taken to writing longer posts in a word document just in case it gets lost. Such a bad feeling to lose something you've put alot of thought and effort into!

Welcome to the Friday feast though, hope your having a happy friday despite losing your post

i am sorry you are having such a tough week @Crazy_Bug_Lady,  i had mine last week, i hope you have thrown the book out, no good to read things that are a trigger.

just saying.....

If I go back into it, it is there but it's all blank I feel a bit down. but worse things happen 

I know @Jacques has been waiting for my news. damn

Sorry guys I know I'm very late, but I've been at work !!! 

I know you're busting @Jacques so this one will be much faster.

I got a new job .... not just a new job but a whole new career.

My background is electronics/electrical/IT/database/BigPurchasing/Inventory Control 

Everyone, I've made it home ... Last monday I started as a Mental health peer worker.

@Crazy_Bug_Lady sorry to hear you've had a bad week. Glad you're feeling safe at the moment and you have those numbers if you need them.

Jacques has a good point...if the book is triggering you, it might be worth getting rid of it.

@WombatBoots That is such exciting news! Congratulations!!
