THOUGHTS ON DROP-IN
The women’s drop-in was recommended to me, I was optimistic about coming and I can say it’s been a place where I can be myself and people won’t judge or criticise me.
I really appreciate this place where I can just forget my anxiety and worries for two hours and be with other women who care about each other. It’s a chance to listen to other women and realise I’m not on my own.
MORE THOUGHTS ON DROP-IN
The drop-in has helped me enormously and given me hope. I don’t dread the future anymore. When I have a day when I’m feeling low, and want to isolate myself from the world, I go to the Wednesday drop-in and it makes me feel better and ready to handle the rest of the day.
Drop-in means being in a safe, calm, happy, fun environment with wonderful women supporting each other.
I make friends and feel comfortable in a space I don’t feel on edge.
