I'm okay, still shook. A co-worker from the meat dept (I work at a store) had a mental breakdown and long story short, he poured gas on himself then lit himself on fire right as i walked by him.
I'm thankful I wasnt harmed. But prayers are needed for all of us.

Hey there -- what a heartbreaking and horrific thing to experience -- anyone would be shook up by that situation. I happen to work in a field where I have contact with a lot of people who have experienced trauma of one sort or another, and your experience qualifies as traumatic -- you might consider seeing a therapist (someone with trauma training would be good) just to be sure you're supported in this by someone who understands the impact of trauma on the mind/body. Most insurance *should* cover it (and, frankly, this might qualify as a worker's comp situation -- I am no expert on that, though) -- sorry about the unsolicited advice, but I recognize that not a lot of people are familiar with how these things can affect us (trauma research has grown exponentially over the last decade or so).
I just realized the fics I most read are the angsty ones, so not sure I have a suggestion for you there, but sending good vibes for sure!

My employer has therapists and such, so im taking advantage of it |

Great to hear -- what a hard situation for everyone involved -- I also just realized that I'm really liking The Manual of Engagement, which is actually quite a happy new fic -- so I have that to offer up as well.

Hey peeps! So, I have been on a hiatus of sorts (for way too long, might I add) and I thought I'd provide a little update and a mini rant.
I still work in retail, and am coming close to 4 years (in April) of it. Since my last update, I have got a couple promotions of sorts. I am fully trained on the customer service desk, and act as an SC (service coordinator) when needed. Side Note: SC's are kind of like a manager of sorts. They control the cashiers and what they do and long story short, they're basically one step below a manager (that's the best way I can describe it anyway).
I am in the process of writing my own book, which is definitely an interesting thing to try and tackle. I have drawn a picture of my main female character, Vannah. If you would like to see a picture and description, let me know and I can send it however you'd like. Also, I have a short chapter of the story posted on my Wattpad (TheDeltaQueen) if you'd like to read the snippet (I'd like to get as much feedback as possible lol). If you don't have a Wattpad, we can figure out something out.
As for TSOM related things? Well, I still have writer's block and for some gods-awful reasoning, I can't shake it. Which really sucks because I am more than ready to write an update for My Maria bc It's one of my highest followed/favorited stories. I also want to update Baby Makes Three, but I also have writer's block for that story as well.
Other fanfic related things? I have a series of one-shots for the Devil Wears Prada fandom, that covers various chronic health issues (to bring awareness to the "invisible" illnesses. I also have The Call which is another Devil Wears Prada fic. TC is about Miranda getting a call about her assistant that changes her life.
Now for the I need good vibes part.
So, I am currently on a medical leave because of my mental health, and have been taken off of work until I can get it properly treated, under control, and cleared by my doctor to go back to work. I have appointments to get that all situated, but could use good vibes/thoughts/prayers because it is frustrating to deal with. And let's just say after this, I am definitely going to look for a different job because I have had enough of retail and crappy management (my managers are great people, but not really good management material, in my opinion).
Anyway, enough about me. How are the rest of y'all doing?

Positive vibes coming your way Silver-White-Winters! Maybe it is a blessing in disguise that you are on leave because it will help you figure out what path you want to take now that will allow you to be more healthy going forward. We're all glad you are back in action here! |

We're all glad you are back in action here! When I get back to work (end of September), I plan on leaving my current job. The toxicity of it isn't worth my time, honestly. I really do think that it is a blessing in disguise. And thanks for the welcome back! |

Hey peeps! I didn't want to make a whole new thread, so I figured that I would post in this one. I meant to make this post hours ago. However, after loading the dishwasher, I dropped a drinking glass. Went to pick it up and sliced my finger open a little bit and I accidentally stepped on a shard of the glass. Hurts like heck. Anyway.
I unintentionally dropped off the face of the earth for a hot minute. Life has been chaotic and busy. Most days if I am not at work or my parents house, I am reading fanfics on FF Net or Ao3. I have been trying to write the epilogue/final chapter for my Maria, but it's giving me more trouble than Maria gave Sister Berthe at the Abbey. Writer's block hit me like a dump truck. So that is where I am at on that. I do have a few ideas floating around my drafts that I do intend to use at some point. If my muse for TSOM ever gets its act together (fingers crossed it is soon).
I wanted to also make a quick note to say that I am probably going to be more active on Twitter (im_ashbee) if anyone wonders where I am active if not on here.
Much Love xx

I'm thankful I wasnt harmed. But prayers are needed for all of us. I wanted to revisit this thread to give you all an update because a lot has happened since this incident. - I have gotten help via a trauma therapist and a psychiatrist. It has helped a lot. - I have made more friends and gotten closer with my siblings. - In April, I will have been at my job for FIVE years!! - I have been writing more. And yes, that means My Maria. I just need to type it out (I have taken to writing stories on paper and then typing them up). - I have picked up drawing again! If wanted, I will send a picture I have drawn of J. Smith-Cameron. It's my best work yet, honestly. - I lost my Grandma in July of 2023. - A very good friend of mine has asked me to help with her next project!! Also, check out her children's book 'Razz Finds A Home" by S. A. Lue. - I applied to college for a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration (to gain knowledge of managing businesses and such). We'll see how this plays out. All in all, my life has gone fairly well (aside from a few bumps in the road). Much Love xx |

Delighted that, despite expectations, things are going well for you, Silver-White-Winters! Yes, all things have been fairly decent. The only things I am struggling with is a few semi-minor health issues, malarky at work, and balancing work and life. Writer's block too. I start some prep classes next month to help with the admission process for college. That's exciting. |
