what's the appointment for, if you don't mind me asking? @ArraDreaming
is there anything specific about the appointment that's worrying? (like not knowing what to say, feeling judged, etc)

Hey @ArraDreaming sorry I haven't been around for days on end.
I read about going to the training thing in Melbourne
I'm not good at sitting still either and have been to heaps and heaps of training things for different jobs - I usually doodle all the way through those things. It's kind of acceptable because most other people in the room think I am taking notes, so they are OK with it.
Sometimes I take stuff in my pockets. I don't know if you do weaving (I love Arrente weaving) I do weaving from my tradition and I make like a bracelet out of woven plant materials and I have that on my wrist to fiddle with. I usually sit towards the back and preferably the back because I have PTSD so I always try to have my back towards a wall when I'm out anywhere. Also at the back I can usually jiggle my legs a bit, people can't see what I am doodling or if I fiddle with my bracelets etc
I hope your injuries form the stairs fall are healing well and not giving you too much problem
