Hi! I used to skate as a beginner years ago and recently started again. I've got GAD and although I'm fine with going to the roller rink to practice, it's often too hectic since everyone's going relatively quickly and in a circle; I don't want to get in the way and want to practice stuff like stopping, turning etc.

I live right next to a big multi-storey car park and the 7th level is almost always empty with the exception of a few cars at the far end. I'm a bit nervous about going alone just because of judgement and also having my stuff taken. I'd need my bag with me to take my normal shoes in but wearing it while skating might be a bit heavy.

How did you guys get over the nerves? I know i need to just do it but it's easier said than done 😖

EDIT:

I went! It was completely quiet, no one came in at all. I was there for two hours practicing and I loved it, will definitely be going again

Hi guys, my lovely nb partner is very stressed at the minute for multiple reasons; job, future etc. They were previously on E for a short period of time and then when the start of breasts started to peak through, they panicked a little and came off it. They're so so wonderful and I know that going on E again is what they want but they're (understandably) very stressed at the state of the world and how they'll be treated and perceived. They're amab so able to go "undercover" when needed and do boy cosplay for safety etc but they're worried that when the irreversible physical traits start to come through, they'll be treated even more differently. I hate the way the world is at the moment but I want to be able to reassure them that it isn't all hopeless and doom and gloom and that good things do happen, despite who might be in power and the like. I'm a cis woman so I can obviously never understand how they feel but I want to be able to provide some sort of comfort. Any advice would be appreciated ♥️

Does anyone know where the main delivery place is for Evri? They've delivered my package to the wrong address (literally across from my flat) and the owners aren't answering the door. This is now the second time this has happened in the last month (last time Royal Mail were the ones to fuck up) and I'm sat here at work seething cos it seems like there's nothing I can do about it since they take so long to respond. Is there a number I can call for Bristol specifically or anywhere I can go in person?
