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.

- Feel free to ignore this post if it's disruptive or intruding, I just don't know where else to put things when I'd like to have someone reply but don't think anyone would want to or whatever. -
I lost a friend on a different anon forum today. I was trying to help them but pushed too hard when I should've listened, and they closed their account as a result. I'm sad that I hurt them and sad that they've lost that support network because of something I said. I know my intentions were good but I screwed up hard. 😞
Edit: hope everyone else is having an OK or better than OK day.

Hi @TheVorticon and @CheerBear ,
Managing those feelings of loss can be tough when contact with someone we care about ceases – whatever the reason. Acknowledging your feelings in this situation is important.
In an anonymous online context like the SANE forums we sometimes never know why a person has ceased to be present on the forums – and sitting with this can be so difficult. We encourage members who are struggling with this or other aspects of forums use to contact us via email for support: team@saneforums.org
Help us push aside the stigma and discrimination surrounding complex mental health and change the way people talk about, and care for, mental illness.

SANE values diversity. We are committed to providing a safe, culturally appropriate, and inclusive service for all people, regardless of their ethnicity, faith, disability, sexuality, or gender identity.
