Hey @tyme - currently I am having trouble logging in. I have to try various strategies to get in.
The platform is very unstable for me. I sent a message to Sane forum IT and a general one, but no response.
I couldn’t log in at all yesterday or day before.
I am also this week in a low signal area at my recently deceased father’s farm trying to clean that out.
Otherwise I am ok
How are you?

Are you able to email us a screen shot of what you see when you can't log in next time @Till23 ? You can email it to team@saneforums.org
Also, what device are you using? I can see if there's anything we can do on our end. I'm mindful that it MAY be your side rather than our side because we haven't heard of any one else having trouble.
Whatever it is, we'll do our best to troubleshoot with you.
The last thing we want to for you to miss out on connecting because you can't log in!!!

Hi @tyme I’m using Safari on an oldish iPhone.
I started having the problem about 5 days ago.
I get stuck in a loop of being continually asked my login credentials. Then I get a problem repeatedly occurs at and then the IP address. Sometimes if I go back I’m actually logged in despite being asked to log in

Actually, I think that may have happened to me. I usually clear all my screens and if that doesn't work, I clear my browsing history on Safari. Do you know how to do that @Till23 ?
The last thing I want is for you not to be able to access the forums.
Hope you are okay.

I had an elder ask me at church today how I'm doing, why I'm not content... I told him that I have been, feeling the need to justify my emotions... he asked me if there will be another drama after this...
I got home and sent him this
"Good work on challenging me, it can take some doing.
I think contentment as an emotion is one thing, but contentment in Christ is quite another.
I think contentment in Christ is more of an emotion climate than a weather when the emotion weather is what I often gauge.
I do think the climate is a bit stormy and disrupted right now, but that is to be expected.
If you're concerned the police interviews are about Delilah [thanks for the pickup], don't be, they're not.
You don't know my entire past and nor should you, but difficult will be an understatement.
I've had regular police interviews for the last 15 years to try and get justice if not for me, but for all those after me. That's who I am.
To ask me if there will be another drama after this, yes, there will be. There will always be more interviews, more memories, more work to be done.
If we have a life solely of contentment, then dare I ask what is God doing? God made emotions for a reason, and certainly not just contentment.
For some who don't battle with mental health everyday, contentment may be achievable.
But for those who have experienced unspeakable and atrocious abuse at the hands of all those who were meant to protect her for 25 years? 'I don't hate today' is enough.
It may not be content, but my emotions are no less valid, even when they're not what others think they should be.
I praise God on my good days and I cling to him on my bad. And for me, that's enough."
I'm sorry I don't have a happy switch

Got a reply... don't know how I feel about it...
"That focus on who we are in Christ, as opposed to us as the sum of our experience and circumstance, is what enables us to have peace even in the midst of turmoil. Doesn't make things magically easy of course, as the difficulty still remains. Knowing that God controls the outcome, and ultimately we will enjoy eternal rest with him where all the pain and tears will be taken away."
Still think he's a presumptuous jerk...
If he had ANY IDEA how far I've come he wouldn't DARE have the nerve to tell me this!
*kicks wall some more*

@avant-garde oh it frustrates me when people criticise how we feel, like they think they know how we should feel. You shouldn't have to even try to explain yourself and how you are feeling if you don't want to. What you have gone through and continue to fight to make a difference takes so much strength. I'm sorry for what you have been through and you never deserved any of it, but you have come so far and we are so very proud of you.
Take care of yourself and know we are always here ❤️

I needed someone to just tell me that I'm doing well and that they're proud of me...
