Gardens

@Dimity there is nothing you have said that has upset me, sorry if I have given that impression.

remember you mentioning having issues with family members. I had no idea these issues are having such a huge on-going negative impact on you. These issues on their own would be more than enough to deal with.

hearing about this in ongoing plus physical health concerns you have, totally makes sense you needing to take time out for yourself. Sending you hugs

sorry I have added to things you are already dealing with.

im still dealing with and impacted by words and actions by mix of people that is, and has been causing, emotional seesaws. Prefer not to provide any more info. You are not on of these people

take care of yourself and Tiger

💚🫂 Thanks @Former-Member

I bought 7 or 8 small flowering plants the other day... mostly summer flowering... will mull over placement.

I’ve gone back to looking at raised garden beds from Bunnings. Not my preference of material, only option I feel I’ve actually got though. Yesterday I started moving my fairy lights, statues etc into the garage, not safe having them in front garden anymore.

what type and/or colours of plants did you buy?

Hey @Dimity @Former-Member @Shaz51 - just been reading and reflecting a bit on what you've shared about certain incidents on the forums that has been sources of distress for some.

We've been chatting a bit about how best to provide support around this, and @AuntGlow and I wanted to share a couple thoughts.

First off, we're glad that you are talking about it. We don't always know if members are feeling okay or not, because we can only go by what's been said. So we appreciate that you're all willing to be honest and open about things that are concerning or that may make it harder to post and connect here.

We always want to create an environment where people are heard and able to reflect, grow, and learn. We don't want to punish or judge anyone, as we recognise that everyone is human trying their best. We don't always get it right, because we are human too - and so we are always open to and encourage feedback. If there's anything you want to share, you are welcome to flick us an email via team@saneforums.org - or if you would prefer you can submit it via the Feedback Form (especially if you'd prefer to be anonymous).

We really do appreciate you all, and value your input. Thanks for not keeping it all bottled up inside folks 💜

@Dimity @Shaz51

Due to few posts on the forums I’m taking time out for me

with discussions about plants and flowers, please don’t tag me. If/when I feel up to reading those posts I will

@Jynx @AuntGlow

In case you read this Patches59 I hope you're OK. I acknowledge some posts can be retraumatising - if this has happened to you I trust you can get support from the SANE team and your psychologist.

Sending love and commiserations.

@moderator

Patches59 I'm concerned for you. Just wanted to acknowledge your post saying you're dismantling your fairy garden because you don't feel safe.

I hope there haven't been further incidents in your village.

As always much love to you and your furry friends.
