@rav3n @I use VLLO to edit my videos.
oh yeah, the humid 30+ days are always the worst days to have and to be outside at. Also, I’m kind of upset right now because of the frustration I’m getting from the admin that’s from an NDIS support worker related service, as she just responded back to me after I sent her a follow up email after she didn’t respond to my email last week about when I’m gonna be available for me to have a support worker on, and so fourth… and I thought she was going to respond initially but I guess she wanted to wait until I say something further or whatever …. 🤦♀️

@Blackcloud Glad you heard back!! Was it the response you were looking for?
That's so cool! Is it super similar to Japanese, do you know?

@Jynx I just don't know what to do anymore. Part of me says reach out, part of me doesn't. I know that me not reaching out is a sign that I'm struggling more than usual but I'm still here talking so I think I'm ok?
Anxiety is what stops me going to bed, knowing that if I sleep I'm going to wake up having a panic attack.

@Jynx @yeah sort of I guess. I did respond to her after that with “I thought we get to choose which support worker we want…is that not the case?” Cause I remember when I had another NDIS relevant service that rang me last time, they did ask me regarding which gender & age-group I prefer in a support worker. However, this one (the one I’m kinda currently linked with I guess) didn’t ask me for that, so that’s why I thought we get to choose which type of support workers we want in terms of gender and age-group…lol 🥲🥲 anyways….
im pretty sure (alphabet wise) it is..? I did learn Japanese for a little bit on Duolingo years ago and so I guess it is pretty much similar to that

@Shaz51 oh I'm so sorry my sister about today. Shazzy, is Mr Shazz taking his frustrations out on you because of your MIL?
I hate it when that happens. These days I tell my husband..." just because xyz happened, it's not my fault and it's not fair you are taking it out on me" can you tell Mr Shaz that?
I know how sad and frustrated these interactions leave me but I also can't keep quirt anymore. It's always so demoralising when they snap like that.
I hope the day got better.
Sending you hugs Shazzy 🫂 🤗 ❤️

@Gremlin24 hi my friend 🧡. So good to see you here. I'm about to make dinner but just thinking about your panic attacks, would you give something like chamomile tea a try before bed? It's meant to relax and make you sleepy. Also maybe listening to an audio book or the sound of rain? There are some free apps out there for this.
Not sleeping will make things worse so I really hope you give this a try. 🫂🫂🫂

@Blackcloud oh yeah i've heard VLLO's good too!
yikes sorry to hear about the email situation! it sometimes does get confusing with emails. so they don't offer you a choice but are you able to request a specific age/gender (if you wanted to)? hope it all gets sorted soon!

@Gremlin24 Yeah I reckon that's a good way to look at it! And you can always kinda, play it by ear, keep an eye out for signs that things are getting on top of you or whatnot.
Oh that's rough, has that been happening every night? 😩 Something you've spoken to supports about yet?

After this morning, we just had a talk now about this morning and about his controlling sister
He said what upset him the most is how his sister treated me
I could not do anything right , I cleaned the walls as high as I could reach
Hung out the washing which was hung wrong
He could not leave fast enough
I think it is my mind that makes me think I have done something wrong , 🤔 wonder how I can get over that

@Healandlove hello. Chamomile tea doesn't agree with me. I try to listen to relaxing music, rain sounds irritate me unless it's actually in real life.
I know not sleeping isn't helping me. It's just really hard when the thought of sleep starts making you panic. I also hate that I'm so tired now but if I go to bed and try to sleep I'll be wide awake.
