Just checking in.

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.

Re: Just checking in.

Hi @Sans911 , @Zoe7 , @Faith-and-Hope , @CheerBear .

thank you for all your honest and vulnerable posts and thoughts. I’ve been thinking about what to write back all morning....and going in circles. I think recent threads have made me question myself about what I believe and what s right for me and is that right for the forum. I’m thinking that maybe doing this ⬇️ for a bit might be best for me. I think I learned this week that this ⬇️ is actually self care...who knew.

One of the things that happened yesterday is that there is a possibility that I may have to take the stand in court and have my mental health scrutinised. I feel way out of my depth with everything just now.

I think I do have some things I want to respond to from the post above but perhaps need to be in less emotion mind to respond. @CheerBear thank you for clarifying what is happening for you. I’m sorry it is ongoing. I do always jump to conclusions it is me, and sometimes it is 😳😏.

Hugs to all and and I hope that this corner can continue to flourish with what ever posts and who ever finds this space helpful. I so much want everyone to feel it a safe space.

💜🤗

Im incredibly grateful to you for all the responses and support lately. It helps me more than I let on.

Im going to practice baby elephant nose diving now. I hope everyone can find some good moments today.

And @TheVorticon I don’t want you to feel invisible or caught up in this either. Here are some 👊🏻 for you to know you are not invisible to me either. So glad you are enjoying the games. My kids grew up on some of them too. I’d imagine they would feel that nostalgia too. (I just learned how to spell nostalgia 😳😊)

Its truly lovely to see your support for CB too 👍🏻

Re: Just checking in.

Sometimes @Teej burying our baby elephant head in the sand is what we need to do - I so get that I think that you need to do what is right for you and if that is posting or not posting here or on other threads then so be it. No-one should be under any pressure to have to post in a particular spot or in response to certain things - sometimes for our own well-being we need to be selective as to where and when we do post ...part of being part of this community should and needs to be that there is no pressure - we have enough of that in our lives from many different angles so this needs to feel like a safe place to be able to share with others what is going on for us. That has always been the case with this thread Teej and part of that is your honesty around both your struggles and successes - you have absolutely nothing here you need to change as it is all valuable for people to connect with both. Keep being you as you we very much like

Thank you for the support with my messy the other day @Zoe7 , @Sans911 , @Faith-and-Hope . I did effectively put my head in the sand over the weekend with anything that was really emotional for me. 💜🤗😘💐

I came here this morning for a big thinking of you @CheerBear . I hope you are doing ok out there. Having missing you feelings too. 💜💐

Re: Just checking in.

@Teej @CheerBear I have nothing but admiration and love for both of you and wish that the world was a different place where you could both have happiness and love always. Please look after yourselves and your families and know that amongst the many people I have met in my life you both hold a special place. I do hope that in the future you find some of that peace that we all crave and that you find solace in the company of each other and the other amazing people that support you both here and in real life. You are both amazing, strong and resilient women and it really is an absolute pleasure knowing you both. 💛🧡💚💙💜

Re: Just checking in.

Can’t help but see your latest posts as a goodbye @Zoe7 . Please don’t make it a permanent goodbye 🙏. I will miss you, your sense of fun and learning from you.

Also scared I’m going to lose @CheerBear at the same time.

Being selfish I want you both to stay.

The halls of the forum are feeling a bit cold and ghostly at the moment. ☹️😔😢

Re: Just checking in.

@CheerBear I know you haven’t been here since Friday and your presence is so missed. I know just not by me. I understand if you can’t come back to the forum or if you need time out. I do miss seeing you around the forum and our chats. You are someone who has had a huge impact on me and I hope that there will be a time where we can catch up again. 💜🤗
