Goodluck with your job interview tomorrow. 

I hope it all goes well for you buddy.

Dinner was good, nice and simple but healthy.

Are you doing a course or teaching a course?

I don't mind the console games I have not played in a while though. 

I am going to start to get ready for bed, my sleep is important atm.

Hope you have a great day tomorrow @MDT

Hey @Former-Member I am doing really well - have had a super awesome day. Things are slowly turning my way and a lot of good has happened - best day I have had for a very long time.

How are you going?

[MDT]

Thanks @oceangirl 🙂 I hope you enjoy your day tomorrow/today whenever you read this. Yeh I am doing a course about international politics, like a networking event and conference. But I am working and living there for the duration of it. Rather than travelling back and forth.

Have a good sleep

Sounds really positive @Zoe7, return to workwork, though hard at first, sure seems to have strengthened you. Its great. You're great!

I'm at an impasd / life cossroadscossroads and fighting not to give in to dark thoughts or crushing plans. Started new discussion about it in 'something's not right' - we just gotta push through.

Hi @Zoe7@MDT@oceangirl & also @Former-Member who I don’t think I’ve met before (wave 👋 but I may have something in common with... Glad you had a great day @Zoe7 & you have a job interview @MDT. Things have taken a turn for the first for me. Stay low recovering from a major depressive episode & got news today that the vom Any I’ve been with for nearly one year has lost a contract & as a result is making some staff redundant ie. me. It’s a ‘career first’ milestone for me!?! I’ve found I’m not easily employable (age, not specialised so perhaps worked in too many diverse roles) despite having a strong work history. The major issue is the impact of this on my mental health. You guys are the first to know (didn’t want to worry my friend tonight when I saw her for her birthday & don’t want to worry other close friend who is on overseas holiday). Feeling quite concerned & fearful but will try to be brave & optimistic amidst this significant challenge to my recovery. I’m so so so disappointed that tonight I was given 13 working days notice.

Oh dear @Sam3 ,,, reaaly sorry to hear your news regarding your job. I really feel for you. Try to think of it as a chance for new opportunities. I recall you saying you were not overly happy where you were anyway. Time for new challenges. You will be okay.
