Re: Not Coping
I just gave @ENKELI the reason why @Blackbird11
If you wanted to read.
Nice. What's the most exciting thing you've bought so far? Can you show me any pics of some stuff? I like the white table and chair.

Re: Not Coping
Social events just make me anxious, but I know if I don’t put myself out there, I’ll just retreat and get used to being in a bubble

Re: Not Coping
@Birdofparadise8 I think the fact that there's soooo many stim toys sold these days, of all different kinds, just goes to show that they're far more accepted now. Nothing to be embarrassed about! But if you want subtle, there's stuff like this:
You can even get fidget rings like this:

Re: Not Coping
That's really tough @Birdofparadise8 it's like they got your hopes up and let you down. Stay strong... something will turn up.
It's all been pretty exciting ☺️ it's most satisfying emptying and placing things out of the boxes.

Re: Not Coping
Yeah, I know, but I'd still feel like it.
Maybe the ring might be good. @Jynx

Re: Not Coping
Oh sweetie I am so sorry. I had the same thing happen to me, I was supposed to take over for a woman who was retiring and then she decided she didn't want to retire after all. It's truly heart-breaking when it's a job you know you'd excel at @Birdofparadise8.
Maybe it's a sign that a better job is coming.
I am trying to stay positive that I'll find something soon but it does start to wear me down.

Re: Not Coping
Thank you @ENKELI @Blackbird11
I hope so. It's been six months. I'm so exhausted with all the applications and interviews.
