Hey @Sunnyside226 ,
I hope you don't mind me making this thread for you.
I just wanted you to know that the whole forums community is here to support you through this challenging time.
Please look after yourself. I recognise it's hard to look after three small children on your own.

Why is there moderators 24/7 is that in case something happens?
question if I said I am feeling si do I have to put a trigger warning? Sorry I am confused
Are we just not allowed to say I am feeling si ? Why did we get check in email if they can't help?

Hey @Sunnyside226 Some answers to your questions...
The forums are moderated 24/7 to keep the whole community safe, respectful and aligned with our community guidelines. The mods make sure everyone is posting according to these guidelines and may step in if someone is in crisis or there is conflict between members.
If you are saying you feel suicidal or having SI thoughts, it is not necessarily the case you add a trigger warning but letting members know if you are safe helps. Mods/PSWs/Team leaders have a duty of care to step in if you are actively talking about SI, talk about plans or anything that may allude to you not being safe.
These forums are for peer to peer support - they are not for crisis situations or one on one counselling therefore mods/PSWs etc. have no obligation to engage with anyone but will send check in emails/messages if someone is presenting as in crisis or post unsafe content. They can suggest other services to contact to help but do not 'counsel' themselves. The core of the forums is that it is a peer led and as peers we can chat and support each other from our own lived experience - and if members need extra support/help then they are encouraged to seek that from professionals/other services outside of the forums.
I hope this helps answer your questions ❤️

@ArraDreaming I can't call anyone because I am starting work soon
As much as I feel si I can't let others see or hear me. I feel like I need to do this on my own I don't know why
I have so much in my head
Does this need a (tw) ?
