    I am Exhausted! And stressed. It was a horrible meeting. Everyone really snappy. Still, I’ve told them I won’t be attending the ‘bring a chair’ event. The last 45 mins was time the Chair yesterday told us was to deal with an urgent problem, unrecorded, but he didn’t say what it was. He wanted us all to talk about how he felt that we weren’t ‘feeling the love’ (he actually used Love Island as a reference - ie not feeling the love and we’re not islands). Predictably, it just turned into a platform for people to whinge and complain.

    Everything is so hard. Case in point, the administrator came in during the last session and held up the folder that has signed Minutes in it (a legal requirement), getting arsey because the last minutes in there were for April and where were May’s (which is my job to sort)? The May minutes were in the Chair’s hand to sign! It’s petty and point scoring and really not what I need to be dealing with.

    I don’t know what to do, I know I could do good but just feel so demoralised with it all
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    I don't know what to suggest. It sounds like an impossible situation at the moment so will just leave hugs

    Gah isn't Love Island some ancient TV program.

    The chair person sounds a real dick (as Jaq would say and she'd be right).

    Hope you can wind down after such a horrid meeting

    Decision made, I’m resigning tomorrow. I don’t need this. I told my friend, who apologised for dragging me into it all which I think is telling

    Given how stressed you've been with this I think it's the right decision. This is no reflection on you/your abilities etc, but on them. What a shameful bunch for a disability group...

    Massive hugs though as I know you'll be taking it all personally - as I would.
    What does Si say?

    I talked, he listened and just said ‘resign then’. And, you know what? It really was that simple
