Taking a 3 month Break from the Forums

Taking a 3 month Break from the Forums

Hi everyone,

It is with great disappointment & sadness that I write this post, but after lengthy discussion with my clinical psychologist it is his recommendation that I take a 3 month break from the SANE forums.

I have truly loved every single minute of being on the forums, getting to know you all and supporting new & existing members, but unfortunately my own mental health is in decline and I need to take a step back and practice self care for a while to get back on track.

I am honestly so disappointed as I feel as if I have let the CG team down as well as everyone else, but I’ve worked so hard at recovery that I just can’t afford to keep stretching myself thin and run the risk of further breakdowns. Between my toxic home life and dealing with my own mental health issues, I’m afraid my bucket is full.

I want to thank you all for making me feel so welcome and so part of something truly special. I am hoping that further down the road once I’ve dealt with more of my trauma I can return to the forums and continue to use my lived experience to help others.

Until then, I need to prioritise my own health and recovery. I hope you understand. I would also ask that from this point on you please refrain from tagging me in other posts. It would be truly appreciated thanks.

I will miss each and every one of you and I wish you all the best over the next several months and beyond.

Take care & thank you for all of your support.

Much love & hugs xx

BB 🐰💙

Hi @bipolarbunny

I just wanted to reach out to say that I’m so sorry to hear that you’re taking some time away from the forums

Although I’ll miss your online presence, I’m so pleased that you’ve prioritised your health and wellbeing and that you’re taking care of yourself

It’s been wonderful to talk with you over these past few months and I just wanted to say thank you so much for all of the support that you’ve provided to so many people here on the forums

I really appreciate your warmth, generosity and energy and I’ll miss your big fluffy bunny hugs

Please remember that there will always be a very special place for you here on the forums when you feel ready and able to return.

In the meantime, please take kind and gentle care of yourself

Thinking of you and sending you some very gentle healing hugs at this difficult time

Take care of yourself,

ShiningStar
