Discussion re layout of site

Oh no @Former-Member. I didn't post that for you to see that stuff. Please be reassured your posts are great. Your wonderful presence on here hasn't gone unnoticed. I freaked out when I became a senior contributor too. It doesn't take many responses at all. In the beginning I used to accidentally always hit post too and they counted as my posts so I probably really only wrote 15 actual posts before I was a senior member. Most members are senior members. These are mostly just guides to help you write. There is no word or paragraph limit. Have you seen some of Silenus's post. They are long and wordy and wonderful. Please know you are doing everything right. I'm so sorry you are feeling frustrated. I hope this helps. Please keep posting, you have lots to offer.

@Kurra, @Shaz51 @NikNik @Faith-and-Hope, @Sahara, and all please add to this.

Hi @Former-Member

I agree with everything Teej has said.

These are peer support forums - we rely people like your wonderful self who posts about their own expeirences and also support others. Your posts do help others and hopefully others posts help you too 🙂

There's no guidelines around how many times you post - more posts can only be a good thing. Being a senior contributor is also a good thing. It shows that you are active in these forums.

There isn't a wrong way to these these forums - some people come in once and get what they need and not come back for months. While others are here posting daily.

I would also point out that it's not about the number of posts you do, its about the content of them. From what I read of your posts @Former-Member they are insightful and supportive - which adds so much value to these forums.

We really enjoy having you as part of our forums and hope you continue to contribute.

@Former-Member,

your posts have been great and you haven't done anything wrong at all! Please don't worry or be upset. You have helped people with your kind words; I'm certain of it.

Please keep on posting.

As @Former-Member says, on Sane forums you get to become a senior quite quickly, it's the same for all of us. It's just the way the forum operates.

Feel free to write as often as you like.

Hi @Former-Member!

I agree with what @Faith-and-Hope and @Shaz51, it's really nice having members like yourself contribute like you do - it's what makes this place a community.

I also just wanted to point out that we have a community (virtual dinner) Friday Freast, which is tonight. You may want to pop in and hang out and have a (virtual) bite to eat. Hope to see you there!

hello again

im sorry i cant do the @ thing at the moment. i am such a mess.

i have been bawling my eyes out. i have been a mess for days.

i just wrote another essay and deleted it. You are correct Teej the senior thing was a bit all too much at the minute. i recognise that i am supersensitive at the moment, very fragile. On another day I would be able to laugh about it. This is always a bad time of year for me. Plus just about everyone in my life who matters has been unwell in the past few months. My aunt in England died in June, although she was 91 she meant so much to mum, my sister and I.

I did read the other christmas post but i just cant digest anything at the moment.

Thank you all for your kind responses, you cant imagine how much that means to me.

I am going to try and lose myself in my book for awhile now. I need to get out of my own head for a while.

Sending you tender hugs @Former-Member
