Celebrating all the (little) good things that happen 😊

Celebrating all the (little) good things that happen 😊

So, I've searched the forums for a 'good things' post, but the only one I could find was full of birthdays and I don't want to rain on that parade.

Anyway, I'm feeling up and up and I've just organised some long distance bushwalks with a friend of a friend for later in the year and I am very excited about it.

And tomorrow I go back to work and my boss was super supportive when I spoke to her today. Yay! (yay for an income and paying my bills!)

Nothing like a hike in the bush and a campfire in the stillness of the night @Former-Member! 😃

Ok @Former-Member. I knew you were hurting and reacting over something. I'm really sorry That you are going through this. I meant what I said. I'm always here for you when I can too.

I have 15 mins to have a shower and get ready to meet my family for my sons family 21st birthday out at a restaurant. I'll get back to you when I can. In the meantime please go easy on you. It does get tricky on the forum when we are feeling vulnerable or fragile. I hope you can find something to find peace for a bit. Sending hugs 💜🤗

WTF: "But it does not appear to be a safe place to express this grief here with others attacking. That should be moderated."
Yeah, so I've got to deal with this shit now.

And thank you @Former-Member, you've always been there for me. At least these issues are something I can talk to friends about, unlike mental health stuff which I lay on you all the time.

I'm not sure anyone is attacking anyone on here, but what I can see is that people feel attacked because of what people have posted.

@Former-Member and @Former-Member both of you are having some intense feelings right now. @Former-Member, @Former-Member is going through an intense time right now with their partner. They need to get out their pain. So it's understandable that any criticisms or any feelings of silencing their pain will be distressing.

@Former-Member I don't think that @Former-Member was attacking you, just letting you know that the content in the post was triggering.

Re: Celebrating all the (little) good things that happen 😊

@Former-Member and @Former-Member It seems that both of you have been triggered by each other's post. I'm really saddened by this. While we can moderate on the basis of our guidelines, we cannot prevent all instances when people are triggered.

Both of you have posted content that conforms to the guidelines, and both of you have right to let each other know that you have been triggered by each other - this does not mean that you are attacking each other.

It seems that both of you are feeling quite distressed and upset so I'm not sure if continuing this conversation with each other is helpful right now.

@Diprotodon

I'm so very sorry to hear about your father. It will take you some time to come to terms with these issues your family is coping with.

Please know that although you've chosen to leave the forums that you will remain in my thoughts and prayers as will your Mum and Dad.

My hope is that there will come a time when you will feel sufficiently comfortable to return to us.

Luv n Hugzzz 💕 🎶 💗 🎶 💕 😙

Re: Celebrating all the (little) good things that happen 😊

I'm so sorry @Diprotodon

i came back on last night to support you and found what had happened on your thread and ran away. I did want to be there for you but struggled with what had happened. I'm so so sorry things worked out this way. Perhaps I was wrong to ask you to leave it. I really wanted to protect you both and it may have not been any of my business to step in. I was so proud of you when you did and came back here for support. I hope you can find some space and some peace. I'm really hoping you'll come back when your ready. I wish you all the very very best. You are in my thoughts💜🤗
