I thought I'd start a discussion where we can check in with members and use this space to keep in contact. It's a space to be able to say how you really feel and it's a space for the good, the bad and the ugly moments in our lives.

Hi @Ffm48 .... how are you going ? Thinking about you ....
It seems @oceangirl has left the forum .... 😔 ... she posted about going to hospital, then cropped up as a "former member" a few days ago ....
I have been watching to see if she would return, as some others have, perhaps with a new name and avatar .... still hoping she will .... ❣
If you're reading this @oceangirl .... just want you to know I'm missing you ... wishing you well .... and hoping you return ....
❤️💕🌷

Hi @Shaz51, @Faith-and-Hope, @Former-Member, @Former-Member, @utopia, @Pepsimax, @oceangirl, @Decadian, @Former-Member @Former-Memberand I really can't name everyone because my brain is AWOL big time. I cheated for the first 5 who come up automatically 😝
@oceangirl im so glad you are around even if you can't post just yet. I have been stressing about you going. It's made my day to know you are around.
@Pepsimax, @Former-Member thank you for the call out too. I have got to catch up with both your posts
@Former-Member I'm sorry I haven't responded to your posts on the sleeping thread but have been keeping an eye out. Please know it doesn't mean I don't care but I have found it really hard to respond. The same goes for you too @Former-Member. My fingers were crossed for you today and I've thought of you but struggled to post that for some reason.
so my checking in....
Im so sorry I've been missing lots of the time. I'm mostly ok for the past few days after having a really hard week last week. At the moment I am struggling with trying to find a path to follow both in real life and on the forum. I really hope no one is offended if I miss them or a post but I'm just needing to take a back seat for a bit. I'm a bit lost with many many things but not so distressed as I've been, I'm just trying to find a way forward. I've been living on the forum and in my head so much I've neglected everything else in my life and completely forgotten (literally forgotten) what it's like to just live and not fear living. I'm not sure how long this will last or what happens next as I know I am such a sporadic person. I think I've recently discovered I'm the outlier for most things.
Anyway everyone on the forum is always in my thoughts and I often read bits here and there but I'm really struggling on many occasions to respond lately. Take care. I'll definitely be around but hit and miss until I get myself sorted better than this.
Hugs to all 🤗💜
