Just checking in.

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.

@Zoe7 - Remember how you were saying you were up and down and all over the place at the moment? Right now you are in one of those downs. It will pass and that up will follow soon behind. Push through it my friend. Ring someone if you need to. Please know you are not alone,

Tomorrow is a new day, a new beginning. Look at how many here care. Please @Zoe7, just one word. Responding with "I'm okay or I'm here" will do. No need to talk if you don't wish. Just a word will suffice. Remember, this will pass.....Sending you a warm hug ❤️🌹

Re: Just checking in.

Hi Utopia and others,

Thank you for your concerns regarding Zoe7. I have emailed Zoe7 asking if they are safe and have given some referrals. I am waiting for a reply. I hope they respond to the email.

Thanks for getting back to us @marchhare ....

She has been very upset in the last few days and we are worried about her welfare, as you can tell.

Re: Just checking in.

@marchhare. Thank you. Please keep me posted.
Could you talk to @NikNik about having a help needed button for mobile users. And somewhere that easily displays the name of the moderator on duty. I think it would save a lot of time & unnecessary worry about if I'm calling the right moderator to help.

Re: Just checking in.

@Zoe7. I'm worried about you. I know how much you have been hurting recently. And what an up and down and roller coaster of a ride you are on.
I'm also there with you on this same ride. And I really hate roller coasters. But we are going through very similar things. So I'm on this ride with you - holding your hand - trying to keep my trembling under control.
It's not a good day/bad day scenario. It's a 5 good minutes - 40 terrible minutes - & 20 minutes of numbness. Or there abouts.
It's an awful ride. But all rides come to an end. And often we are surprised at the end of the ride - how much good came from it. Sometimes at the end of a ride - people are waiting for us.
Don't give up. I'm holding your hand on this ride. I'm even wearing one of our t-shirts. Most likely something that says "my thighs are tasty - ask an ant" or one of our special meditation t-shirts - "I'm not hallucinating - I'm meditating". God, hope I don't throw up on this ride. I really hate the fast dips and how high it is at the top. But I'm still here. I'm still surviving. Still holding your hand.
Still talking. Only one way to shut me up....
Just let someone know you are okay tonight.
I'll keep holding your hand.

Re: Just checking in.

Hi Utopia,

I am moderating until 7am so I will check the emails and see if I get a reply. I will also flag the moderators taking over to watch for replies if I do not get one overnight. I will also forward your suggestions about moderators.

It really is inspiring how forum members quickly respond when a a fellow member seems to be having difficulties.

Cheers,

Marchhare

Re: Just checking in.

Thank you @marchhare. But I'm concerned that it was a farewell post and think that 7am may be too late for sane to respond.
Can a police welfare check just not be done now?
If she is okay and gets upset by that - I'll cop it. I really think it's a suicide warning call she posted.

Re: Just checking in.

@Zoe7. If you are reading these posts, please respond. Even just an "I don't want to talk" or a "utopia your jokes suck". Anything.
I'm feeling sick to my stomach worrying about you. You really have me concerned.
Please let us know you are okay.
I'm still holding your hand. But I'm crying at the same time - because I'm worried I'm not helping you.
I want you to know you are not alone. I know you are hurting. You've had a hard time lately. But reach out and call someone. LifeLine. 000. Or your hospital.
