a heavy heart, I say farewell.

It has genuinely been a pleasure supporting others, and I have always taken my position and the responsibility that came with it very seriously.

However, with Tuesday evenings becoming increasingly difficult for me to commit to, I feel the time has come for me to step away.

So, farewell to the Tuesday group and to the WhatsApp group.

Thank you to everyone for your support, conversations and the time we have shared. I wish you all the very best moving forward.

Thank you all. ❤️

Support Squad

It was nice to take a few members of the squad out for the day.

We sat near the canal and had lunch.
The weather was nice enough to sit by the water’s edge, enjoy a drink, and have a bite to eat.

We’d tried planning afternoons like this many times, but it never materialised.

After hearing that a few people really wanted this to happen, we made a plan: pick everyone up, head to a location, and enjoy some time together.

Great turn-out – five of us and the dog!

You are likely aware of this? Running it by you first.

"Did you know that if you text HOME to 741741 at a time when you may be feeling depressed or suicidal, a crisis worker will text you back immediately and will continue to text with you? Many people, especially younger ones, don't like talking over the phone and would feel more comfortable texting. This is a free service for anyone - if you would like to join me in raising awareness, please copy anod paste this.

You don't always realize how much of yourself you lost until you're around people who make you feel like yourself again.

With the wrong people, you become quieter. You think twice before speaking. You slowly stop doing the things that once felt natural to you.

Then you meet people who don't make you question every part of yourself, and something starts coming back.

Your laugh. Your confidence. Your openness. The version of you that you thought was gone was never really gone. It just didn't feel safe enough to come out.
