Hi guys,
This thread is for all those searching for a job. A place to share challenges as well as successes. I am currently out for the evening but I will come back and talk about my recent job application later tonight. Please feel free to tag other members. @tyme

@SaltwaterSoul Talk about everyday not going "perfectly" and that's okay - I had a massive accident at work today and even though I said "sorry" to my Supervisors and Co-Worker, I'm still feeling guilty and ashamed for the mistake that I made. I'm so scared I'm going to be fired! Thankfully, I have my third Psychology session next Wednesday so hopefully that should calm me down/distract me more so I can forget about my negative thoughts.
@Ainjoule Your job is very similar to SalwaterSoul's, I think.
@Ruby26 How are your job search efforts going? Anything that stands out for you?
@Oaktree I love this thread that you have created! Are you keeping up with all of this?

Hey @SaltwaterSoul Thanks so much!! I start late August, so a couple of weeks to go. I'm getting ready for it. Do you work in Peer Work field? Glad to hear you are sleeping through the night.
Hey @FearofUnknown Sounds like a tricky day, glad you have a psych session coming up. I know I been there before, hopefully they have compassion and you have compassion with yourself. <3

@SaltwaterSoul I'm so glad to hear that things are going well for you. I'm proud of you for getting and sticking with this job and having perfect attendance even with all the anxiety.
I am also having a lot of trouble with switching off when work is done. Do you have a self-care routine for after work?
I'm struggling a lot right now. There was a difficult incident on my first day at a new job and it triggered a breakdown. I've had to go on mental health leave. My supervisor has been really supportive so I'm hoping I should be all good to go back next week. It is just so frustrating having no tolerance for conflict, this happens to me all the time.

@FearofUnknown I'm sorry to hear of the work situation. How did that all go in the end? Everybody makes mistakes, I hope you got understanding and compassion in any case.
I just started a new job- there was an incident on my first day and I ended up getting triggered and going on mental health leave. Supervisor has been supportive, so I should be all good to go back to work next week.
