Just because you are having a difficult time, it doesn't mean you need to delete your account @MissGremlin

We all have our ups and downs.

For some members, they may take some time away, and for others, they may ask us to put a temporary pause on their account to support them to post safely.

You have the whole community behind you here @MissGremlin

Hey @MissGremlin

Alternating episodes is the way to go for maximum levels of getting absorbed in the story hey 😉

Also I just read this -

@tyme he really is a good boy.

I was actually going to email to talk about having my account deleted cos of things going on and cos I can't offer anyone anything at the moment so feel that I don't deserve to be here.

I wanted to have connection but then got overwhelmed when the conversation became too long. Tomorrow is a really scary day. (I'm safe for now).

You are more than welcome to email us about account deletion - but I will say, there's no obligation for you to be always able to offer others support. We all know that life has its ups and downs and right now the downs sound really overwhelming for you. There's no expectation for you to be out there supporting others all the time, you're allowed to just keep to your own thread, or just check in once a week, or whatever works really. You're always welcome to share a post just letting people know that you're stepping away for a while, and not sure about when/if returning. You don't owe the forums your presence, you don't owe members your support, and if you keep your account open, the option to return may feel a bit easier.

You know your needs best, and if deleting your account will be the best option for you right now, that's so fair. Just letting you know there's always other options 💜

Hello @Jynx, yes I like how the storyline continues between both series for some of it.

There's alot more to it that I can't say on here that leads me to talking about having my account deleted. I'm sure there's enough inactive accounts without mine adding to the list aswell and adding to tags that will never get answered.

I just feel bad that I've got nothing to give anyone at the moment although I'm still trying my best to at least offer something even if it's just so they know they're not alone.

I'm scared for tomorrow, in a way I don't want the day to come (I'm safe for now). I am hoping the mental health team make contact tomorrow morning. I've also got a phone appointment with my counsellor at 11am. But the rest of the day all depends on what happens from morning until 12pm.

I'm about to put Buffy and Angel on and do some more of my diamond art.

Hey @MissGremlin , thank you for sharing. I appreciate that things are so so hard for you. I just want to acknowlege the effort and time it is taking to ensure your posts meets guidelines. Well done.

We are here to support you @MissGremlin . You don't even have to go into detail about anything at all. We hear you are scared and feeling anxious. If we could take that away from you, we would.

What diamond art are you working on?

Thankyou @tyme, it's hard to focus sometimes and does take time to reply to make sure I stay within the guidelines but I'm trying my best.

I just wish I could say why but I can't, not here.

I am doing a very pretty coloured cow diamond art at the moment.

I know i need to try to sleep but that feels scary cos then tomorrow will come around quickly and I don't want that, i want time to slow down cos i don't feel ready. (Again I'm safe for now).

@MissGremlin I have forgotten what tomorrow is for you, but I hear you on how you are feeling about it. Holding onto hope with you. I hope you get good news / contact in the morning. 🤗 Glad you have the counsellor tomorrow.

@MissGremlin Reading between the lines here. Extra hugs coming your way.

@AlwaysMyself you haven't forgotten anything sweet.

Thankyou sweetheart, right now you can hold that hope for me cos even the little glimmer i had has faded away.

I'm hearing you sweet @MissGremlin 💜

It's the nature of the forums that people will come and go as their lives and needs change. We even have a whole post about it. I think if anything, it just goes to show how much you truly care, that it is leaving you feeling so intensely about it.

Maybe you could (tomorrow perhaps, after some rest and all that memory consolidation and such that goes on during slumber) come back to your own posts and try to imagine that it was someone else who had written them. What would you tell this person?

Tomorrow sounds like it's going to be incredibly difficult. We'll be here for you, to catch you afterwards - if you want. It's also so valid to just write off the whole day, not sign on at all, and just spend the time feeling your feelings, being as much of a mess as you need to be, and focusing solely on yourself and what you need.

Been loving the diamond art!! And the Scooby Gang are always fine company 😊

Good luck tomorrow, and catch you when I catch you. Squishy hugs comin atcha!!
