It’s been so lovely being on the forums, but I’m not sure if I am welcome on here. I will miss you all. I have learnt a lot from you all, I hope you’ve been able to learn something from me

@creative_writer talking to the peer support workers is always helpful. I too struggle to keep my posts recovery focused so you are not alone there.

@creative_writer why not share what's on your mind and how you are feeling (if you are comfortable doing so). Then we can see how we can help with the recovery focused side of things together?

Oh I'm sorry you feel things have changed @creative_writer . I have not noticed that, but of course everyone's experience is different.
Every post is not always recovery focused, but a response usually is and then you can pick up and discuss that response

@creative_writer it's ok, we will always be here for you. Nothing wrong with eating some chocolate for comfort 😋.
Take a breath and know that you won't feel this way forever. I know it's hard to sit with right now but we are right here sitting with you ❤️

@creative_writer oh sweet you are completely not alone with that SI, today has been a battle for that myself. I'm glad your mind is a bit clearer and things have settled a bit now. That can be really hard to sit with the mixed episode so it's great that you have an appointment with your pdoc tomorrow.

@MissGremlin I’ve been having SI today, took a PRN to settle it. Can’t say it’s completely gone, but mind is clearer, I think the effects settled in now, thankfully. It took a while. I’ve been struggling with bipolar mixed episode, I don’t think the episode is fully controlled yet, but I am going to see my pdoc tommorow
This IS an example of recovery posting.
No, your posts from yesterday were not different from today, nor the day before, nor the day before. Hence the conversation around 'extended' rumination.
