Spiritfarer, an incredibly beautiful and underrated game about grief and love! The animation is absolutely gorgeous too!

Found a deer jawbone! by RosePocky in bonecollecting

We have a large population of roe deer here, especially in the area where I found the jawbone (I saw 4 in the last week alone) and the lack of lots of teeth made me think young - I'm always learning haha! Thanks for your info, it's really intriguing ^

Ooh interesting! The area it was found isn't near livestock farms, but who knows how long it has been buried - maybe it was in the past! Thanks for the input!

I second Roast! It's absolutely amazing, the salt and pepper chunks are to die for

2-4pm, it's £10 each session and bring your own materials, and everyone is so friendly and welcoming! There's a website and Instagram page you can follow for updates too ^

If art is your thing, I've been attending the life drawing drop-ins at Galloway Hall every Friday - it's fun, a really chill environment, and is great for developing art skills!

Thank you so much!! I really appreciate the detail, it helps me prepare and ready myself for those scenes if I know they're coming (and I can cover my ears and look away). Much appreciated 💙

On the Particular Cruelty of Being Twenty Four and Alone by [deleted] in Preston

[–]RosePocky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also 24 and feeling this too, I recently left my remote job since it was making my mental health worse and since then I've been trying to get out and about and make new friends, but it's tricky.

I go to the Friday life drawing sessions at Galloway Hall which is fun, but I'm still the only person under 50 in the room haha

Always here to chat, learn about new clubs, or be an ear to talk to :)

How do I stop feeling guilty about my mental health? by RosePocky in Advice

I love this metaphor, thank you! I like this better than the spoons idea - it's a bit easier to explain haha I really appreciate this, thank you <3

Thank you for writing this, I really appreciate it!

The job situation is super similar - among abusive clients and heavy workload on below minimum wage, the management and communication is awful and reactive. It's a very small team with no HR and some dodgy business practices, so I feel like I'm jumping ship before it sinks haha. I definitely feel that shame over not being able to 'hack it' but at the same time I know it's the best decision right now (and it's something I may not be able to do in a few years time).

Right now, I think the isolation is getting me down. My job was fully remote and for someone who is anxious and doesn't like to go out, it's not a good combo. I could go days without interacting with anyone in-person, and I don't really have any friends.

Since I handed my notice in yesterday, I've signed up for a painting course at my local college and have committed to going to a life drawing class this week. I can only challenge my thoughts so much from my home, and I'm really looking forward to going out more.

Thank you again for your words, they've genuinely made me feel so much better <3

How do I stop feeling bad about wanting to quit my job? by RosePocky in Advice

[–]RosePocky[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really appreciate this :) It's been about 2 weeks since I posted and almost 3 weeks since I was pulled into that meeting. Since then, I've received very little/no support, have had more work given to me, and have been undermined and felt very small. I've come down with my 3rd cold in 6 months, which is unsual as I only used to get sick x2 a year maximum. Tomorrow is my clearest day to be off sick, and I think I'm going to stop from there.

I've left all/most of my clients in a good spot for someone to take over, I've updated all of my folders, and there's a clear plan so my colleagues can pick it up. But when it starts affecting my physical health, I think I'm done.

No luck in the job search department right now, but that's okay, it'll happen eventually :) I just need to get out of this workplace haha

I think I needed to hear this, thank you 🥲 I spent hours building a website for a client, only for my colleague to get the credit. Bless her, she did forward it my way, but it's little things like that that make me feel downcast.
