I had an okay day. The ZOOM Drop-In was a disappointment. A young woman introduced a subject saying she knew it wasn't a support group BUT and then proceeded to take up all the time talking about a recent sexual assault and how her life is in chaos. I know we have to be compassionate first and foremost so i listened supportively and told her about a resource that might be able to help her. But, darn it all, there are crisis lines for people in crisis and this is just supposed to be a light casual social hour where we can heal from the intense loneliness of COVID. And i felt bad for the couple of men there who might have felt uncomfortable.
BethRags surely had it right when she said in mental health support you never know what you're going to get!
Life is so darn messy!
Hugs to all!
