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.

Well i was way off the mark @CheerBear :face_with_rolling_eyes:. It is something though that I can see how it feels extra big and messy. I’m so sorry about what you’ve been going through. I think it’s really important to be able to use your supports here though. I understand you had to put on some big girl pants to write what is upsetting you. As far as I can see as long as you don’t get specific here it should be ok to get support. I’m sorry that you are feeling alone with it. It is also so important for all of us that care so much to understand what is happening for you. I really hope that is understood. It’s been a really tricky time on the forum all round.
I obviously can’t talk specifics but hope that you find this helpful that we understand why and how you hurt. Still sitting under that blanket with you knowing that this is something taking it’s toll on you. I wish I could do more. I know you can and will still change the world. 💜🤗😘

Lol with the gently getting you to talk @CheerBear . It was more like me coming to fix your broken arm. You tell me it’s not broken so I assume it’s the other one. Rolling your eyes you tell me it’s your leg that’s broken.... I still go to the wrong leg 😜😘😉. I hope kidlets are ok😷🤒. Have my sharks arriving soon. I just had a DM on the phone with one talking about anxiety. He’ll be fine, he is so proactive. 💜🤗

@CheerBear Sending you much love and massive hugs Hon. I, like others, do not understand exactly what is happening for you but very much want you to know how much we respect, appreciate and care for you. This community only works because of people like you being in it - you are so integral to this community and would be very much missed if you were not here. I do hope you can receive that communication you need from those that need to provide it. This feels a bit like deja vu for me - we have been here before and that was also not handled well - I hope I am off the mark myself though and this has a different outcome. Very much sitting with you even when we are not here CB 💐🌺🌷🌸💜💙💚🧡💛

Hearing you @CheerBear , just wanted you to know that. I was just about to get off the forum and do some important things (yucky legal things). I hope your blues don’t stay. So sorry about middles news.
I tried to find a soft caring gentle flower arrangement that might help with the sad. 💜
