@rav3n I've only ever travelled to new Zealand / Tassie. I haven't really thought about others places but we are saving up to go to England or something down that line.
Have you have been off Australia?
Yes I have other love heart that that tells someone what state mood I'm in and I've been 🖤 since yesterday morning
I'll try to ask @Ru-bee when she's next in if she's comfortable answering and Jynx too if I remember to ask 💙

Hey @Ru-bee I'm sorry I was rude to you earlier. I never meant to be rude I'm sorry
I've gone down hill with mental health. I don't like sharing that because I'm worried people on here will judge or laugh
sometimes I don't know how to explain what's going the thoughts have been bad and dark I think it's because I want dad he's not around. i went to visit him on Saturday. It felt like the time to be with him i miss him more then ever
I'm all alone I'm alone in this I'm in a mess
@Ru-bee I don't want to annoy you with me issues

That's okay @Sunnyside226 I didn't feel as though you were rude to me at all
It's okay if you don't feel able to talk about how you're feeling right now. I can just sit with you, or we can talk about something else if that's helpful?

Yeah, I just finished knitting a beanie and a balaclava @Sunnyside226 and I'm about to start on a cardigan. Trying to make a few warm, cosy pieces before winter
Have you been doing any drawing lately?
That's a good question. I didn't originally set out to be a peer support worker, I studied to be a counsellor, but I wanted to do that because I like listening to people and wanted to have a job that felt like I was doing something good, and I'd had my own times when I'd needed support and wanted to be that person for others. I got into peer work once I'd already started working in mental health and realised all of the different roles that exist that I didn't know about when I started studying years ago. I really enjoy it and feel lucky to be able to do it as my job 🙂

@Ru-bee what's happening with me I feel trapped and the thoughts are there
That sounds nice to knit that does it take long? Have you ever knitted socks? That would be cool
I did one drawing last week I draw a puppy 😀
That's a cool thing to study to be a counsellor that takes a lot of patience to do that good you put yourself out there find things you wanted to be/do. @Ru-bee I don't know if I understood right. But do you find having the same issue has some people help you to understand? ( Sorry if that didn't come out right)
Also I don't know if you have kids but will you watch the new Movie?
