Kitty, have you tried do-it.org or v.inspired? I know they are voluntary websites but they may give you an idea of what is on in your area. Can college help at all?
I am doing ok, better.
Life can be beautiful if you let it.

Kitty, I know you have support workers/similar at college, is there anything they could do to help you with it?
I'm glad you're feeling a bit better Leigh. How has your day been?
Yeah, my class was ok. I am feeling slightly overwhelmed with work already but hopefully it will all be fine! I am heading off to the gym now (if I say it here, I might actually go :P)
Enjoy the gym. Your doing better than me..I have slacked of galore lately. Not good but I have had no energy although exercise can help with that. I haven't done much at all today..been to Asda and Liddle to pick up a few bits and that's about it. Had a shower to which was good. I was starting to smell. :p

Argh, Sparky enjoy the gym. I have gym guilt, majorly today. I haven't been, but I'm just so tired! How's things otherwise? I hope you're feeling a bit more positive.
Leigh, you've had a tough week or so, so going to the supermarket and getting showered etc is pretty good going I reckon. How're you doing?
Kitty, what's your college course? I used to work as a TA and a direct payments worker with children and young people with physical and learning disabilities. I completely loved it, and if I hadn't been going back to uni to train, I'd love to still be doing it. KIDS is a national charity providing services for children and young people with disabilities, this link could be helpful if you're looking for placement, not sure if they take placement students, but there's loads of volunteering opportunities http://www.kids.org.uk/information/1...ids_sheffield/ otherwise, have you considered contacting places like the Together trust, who I know take students, or maybe even local Special Schools? I'm sure I've got a list of all LA special schools in Yorkshire, I'll see if I can dig it out!
Kat and Ritzi how're you two doing? I hope things are okay.
I've been on placement nearly a fortnight now and with work on top I'm just so knackered and my body's just giving up on me. I'm also sick of the sight of the blooming M60! It takes me forever to drive anywhere!
"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel. Make us all feel wonderful. We'll never forget."
*hugs to claire* I can def relate to the gym guilt. It sucks that I work in one, telling people how to keep fit etc and then I am this blob haha.
Sounds like your incredibly busy at the moment. When does placement finish? E even though life/uni/placement sounds exhausting are you enjoying it? How are you doing?

You're not a blob! Gym guilt is deffo the worst type of guilt though!
I'm absolutely loving placement, thanks. I'm working at a housing project for ex-offenders and although I'm tired, I know that once I'm used to my new routine it'll all be okay. I'm learning loads and it's super interesting. Plus, my team are lovely and some of the service users are hillarious! I have to do 100 days on placement, but until April I can only do 4 days a week, so I'll be there until the day before my birthday, at the end of June, as long as I don't get ill, or need any leave!
How're you doing today?
"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel. Make us all feel wonderful. We'll never forget."
I hated lessons like that kitty. You will get through it.
Glad your enjoying it Claire. The placement sounds interesting. Hopefully you will stay fit and well now as you've had your fair share of illness plus some.
Clever star. I am always walking into things, particularly doors that I am about to open, oh and pillars.what did you do at the gym?
Life can be beautiful if you let it.
Step back, breathe and take it in
Star, I'd just blame the tree, it shouldn't have got in your way! Glad the gym was good
Kitty, you will get through it. Sometimes it can help to get an outsider perpective on abuse. If you think it's going to be too much, could you have a word with your tutor?
Leigh, how's things?
I hope you're all as fantabulous as possible.
"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel. Make us all feel wonderful. We'll never forget."
I'm just scared last time i had one of them the person who came in to do the talk said ''all people who are abusers get locked up'' and i was just there like ''er, no they don't'' then she said ''care to explain how you know better than the professional person does?'' bearing in mind i was in a class of 19 boys at this point i ran out the room in tears and got called ''a lier and silly, to stop being such a baby'' I AM NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO TOMORROW!

Cam, silly messages are always welcome :P And, how are you doing?
Kitty, I'm so sorry that happened, but try to remember that it is unlikely to happen again. I hope it goes okay - can you maybe plan to do something nice for yourself after? And talk to someone if you need to!
I am sure that wont happen again. Some people are stupid. I found keeping my head down worked. Are you doing childcare/health and social care at college?
Cam how are you?

Kitty, can you maybe try getting an early night tonight - is there anything that helps with the flashbacks, grounding etc? Well done for getting through it.
Glad you're okay Cam. Haha, how long is your mum there for? I hope you have a nice time with her though!
