very unwell and responding to others

hello @Former-Member

thank you so much.

i try so hard to help others because i know how horrid mental illness is and how much it affects every aspect of my life. It is relentless.

so thank you your response means a lot.

@Former-Member

Please don't worry it gets really difficult to respond sometimes. I think your posts are always thoughtful and insightful and I can usually see where they are connected to. I do wish there was a way we could respond to a specific post not just thread. I used to get very frustrated too when I joined but I've learned to get over it. Sometimes if I go back to an old thread or post (not very often) I try to repeat that part first. These days I tend to start a new thread (discussion) instead so it's not so confusing. You are so very supportive here please don't let those frustrations get you down or worry you. Sending hugs💜🤗

Hi @Former-Member

No your responses to me are not destructive. You have always been supportive to me, thank you.

I do understand what you mean though, cause at times I find that I don't know what to write and when I do I don't know if i am upsetting anyone or triggering anyone.

Chaotic mind - yep that's me at times.

Pls take care, you are such a great support to me and many others on here

oh thank you so much @Bridgetjones @BlueBay @Former-Member @Former-Member

yes i am in such a mess , gives me some relief to know that i am not alone in my sense of direction on here.

like the fact that i made you laugh. smiling is hard enough at the moment.

i just experimented with emoticons that have only just found after being on here for 2 months so if it doesnt make sense ignore please.

You dont need to explain or feel bad we all understand this.

I have had nothing but supportive responses from you which I appreciate and look forward to more.

You have been nothing but a positive source of support on these forums please dont feel you have upset us.

Maybe you need to just get support for yourself until you are on top of things, I havent repondsed much these last few days because I'm battling to not let myself slide back down so I'm very fragile too.

Take good care of yourself

Hi @Former-Member, I've been trying to catch up with Forum developments today and so I've come across a lot of your posts. They are always insightful and supportive and so you have no need for concern.

I wonder if you'd find the quote function helpful? When you're typing a reply there is a Quote box just above where you are typing on the right hand side. If you press this the post you are responding to will then you added. So when someone reads your post they can directly see what you're replying to. I don't think it's really necessary as your responses never seem disjointed or out of place but it's something to consider.

Looking forward to more of your input around the place.
