Clawde here hoping I did not sound disrespectful so sorry if I did, however I love being happy on this forum Thanks again Sane 😁

@Clawde

Love to know why you chose your new pic.

I felt strongly about giving support in the Sane forum community from when I joined. Later they invited people to apply to be Community Guides which I did for a year. There is a little extra communication on a forum behind the scenes which gives the guides support and a way of working through issues if they arise. I felt there was a little requirement to be a certain way, which did not feel right for me. I also needed to be able to make statements about the issues from my experience that might "hold accountable" various services etc. whilst still being anonymous. They then changed the tag on my profile to "elder" it might be what they do to all "retired" guides.

I think the new batch of peer support workers may be paid workers and mods behind the scenes I am not sure.

Each year they invite people to apply to be Guides, you could be one, maybe you have not noticed it yet.

I feel strongly about many issues facing members of the mental health community and give what I can when I can. At times I am empty and just need an outlet. I also really value the connections I have made over the years. Thats me. Others may feel differently. I think it was a fair question and saw no disrespect.

Cheers Apple

Thankyou for your reply @Appleblossom really appreciate it. 👏

so Clawde changed its profile yourself and one other have made a comment here is why "........... " 😇 no real reason Just need a brave face to take on 2022 feeling overwhelmed with Covid and life

feeling like a change and feeling frightened and where we are going as a human race, when I was young my grandfather told me about the future but said It will probably happen after my life time has passed everything he told me is coming true, the future is about to go where none of us can even understand , we must must brace our selves for a strange change and one day we will look back, so get strong get strength in the now time, the future is here, so Clawde changed its thing to look strong as it can because Clawde is very frightened of what the world has in its future, my dear Grandfather predicted many things and face masks are only just the start of it, really , wish I listened more, but he told me I won't live long enough this stuff is for another life time, wait till I get to heaven to tell him how wrong he was, so Clawde changed its profile Thankyou for noticing 😍👏😁

@Clawde

Great approach to self care.

I hear you about living in strange and disturbing times. We will definitely need strength to manage things to come. Be prepared.... but its hard to know exactly what will happen.
