Re: The Weekly Friday Feast

Hi Crazy_Bug_Lady.

Im a moderator here at the forums and wanted to reiterate @MoonGal's sentiments.  

It may feel like there is noone to go with you, but i encourage you to have a good think, there may be someone - and it can be anyone.  A friend, neighbour, colleague, family etc.  And they are simply support people who do not necessarily need to know the whole story.  They are not required to engage with your workplace colleagues, but simply 'be' with you.  Something to think about.

You can ask for written information about the workplace concerns before the meeting.  And you are entitled to documentation of what occurred in the meeting.  Legally, you do not have to sign it if they ask.  But this way you have documentation and can prepare yourself for meetings in the future.

But this sounds all very serious, I am sure that everything will be fine, its just the lead up that is so darn hard.  If you are finding eating difficult (stress does that) try protein drinks from the supermarket until you feel like eating again. 

I hope this helps and Ill be thinking of you for your meeting.  Take care

Re: The Weekly Friday Feast

I'm currently watching Stand-up comedy and laughing more than I have all week. I finished Kitty Flanagan, now I'm watching Danny Bhoy.

I am laughing so much right now, I'm almost crying.

Re: The Weekly Friday Feast

Some great advice @MoonGal. I agree, prepare beforehand, and be honest and realistic about things you think you have achieved, and areas that you can improve on. Remember, it's a job, yes, an important element in life, but it doesn't define all of you.

You're certainly not alone in having these talks. They can be painful, but in hindsight, in my own experience, they can also be helpful. You will be ok. 

Glad to hear you laughing, and smiling Smiley Very Happy

What is Danny Bhoy?

Sidenote: I'm going to reheat the mexican food I made yesterday. 

Who's around tonight?

@Former-Member @Mazarita @Jacques@Shaz51 @Appleblossom (are you back yet?) @CannonSalt @MoonGal @Crazy_Bug_Lady??

Tacos taste good when they're reheated. Smiley Wink

@CherryBomb He's a Scottish comedian. This is a bit from the show I'm watching. (Don't know if the link worked, fingers crossed)

I have been so stressed and tense all week, it feels to be be laughing.

Re: The Weekly Friday Feast

Thanks for sharing @Crazy_Bug_LadySmiley LOL

As the old say goes: laughter is the best medicine 

Gotta love getting to the point where I feel like crying.

Haven't had one of those for ages - doesn't mean I don't laugh every day though. Smiley Happy

Re: The Weekly Friday Feast

Hello everyone. I hope you are all enjoying Friday. We leave fir Lismore tomorrow to visit family. Anxiety is a little bit better than last week. If I stop to think about it I can quiet the voices and take a breath every now and then. I don't think I've been relaxed enough to breathe easy all my life and O turn 40 this year

Re: The Weekly Friday Feast

Hi @Angels333,

Not sure if I've met you before, so 'hi'! It nice to meet you.

Lismore is pretty nice. There's lots of the cows there, right? I think it's the place that my friend is from...

Glad to hear that your anxiety has improved. It's a great skill when you catch the voices, and quieten them with breathing. 

Re: The Weekly Friday Feast

Re: The Weekly Friday Feast

I think Friday must be my favourite day of the week seeing I always get my days confused thinking it's Friday in advance.

That salad looks delish. I think @Former-Member will love it. I wonder if she's about...

New A/C sounds refreshing @Jacques. It is hot where you are? So strange as it's cold here in the mountains. I'm wearing a down jacket and a beanie! It was hot yesterday but we had a cool - or should I say, 'cold'  - change come in. We live in vast land of very different climates. 

Though I am finding the weather to be more extreme and unpredictable in general all about. Do people also find this where they live?
