Never seen them before. In other news just found a very ill woman contemplating suicide when out with the dog proper state lucky I'm used to bi polar people posh woman late 50s had to talk her into going back to her car called the police and they came out, she's lucky not the sort of area you would want to be in that state.

Thanks , Elmo . I'll do my best to remember your tip . 😃

You probably wouldn't to be fair, people just need a human to listen. I did a mental health first aid course this year, I like to think I've always been caring but that gave me some tools I didn't have, and it's been really eye opening. Little tip Just listen, don't try to tell them you know how it feels, just ask open ended questions that give them the space to talk, be calm, reassuring and patient, you have all the tools already, I've been helping a girl at work with anxiety through some tricky times and I went to a disciplinary with her last week, after that she went to her boss got talking honestly and got things sorted out and is happy again and less stressed, she bought me some chocolates as a thankyou, made me well emotional lol, but it was nice to have made a difference
