Bad mood today

Hey @TheVorticon , hoping today doesnt feel as bad as Friday did for you. I know for myself days can be ups and downs sometimes.

I can understand the feeling of not wanting the responsibility/pressure to choose a place for your birthday when there are so many restrictions that you can't choose where YOU would actually want to go. Gosh it would be easier if they gave a "shortlist" of places to pick from at least! Or can you say you dont want to go out for it?? And just your favourite meal cooked at home perhaps?? (Just thinking about what i would do if I were in your shoes)

I dont mind if your posts arent upbeat and cheery. If its how you are feeling and wanting someone to chat to about things, thats totally fine by me. Sometimes it can feel so grating and "other" to talk about "cheery" or mundane things when feeling low and gloomy - i get that.

Feel free to tag me if you want a gloomy chat 😊.

Thanks @Chasingsunsets for the tag and kind words. 😊 ive enjoyed chatting and getting to know you also.

Hi @RebelliousAngel @AlwaysMyself @Shaz51 @Chasingsunsets

Thanks for your posts. My internet has been so bad this weekend that it's been too hard to reply, but I appreciate your replies.

hey @TheVorticon! like @Chasingsunsets, we don't expect you to be 'upbeat' all the time! life is full of ups and downs, and it's absolutely okay to chat about those downs - we're here to listen and support ya ✨

p.s. the guided meditation video sounds interesting - does it help you fall asleep pretty quick?

I think I used to get stuck a lot @rav3n [edited by moderator]

Yeah the guided meditations can zonk me out in like 5-10mins if I've got nothing else on my mind. Some get a bit annoying or repetitive though.

Hi there @TheVorticon,

I'm popping in to let you know that we've edited your recent post to help meet our community guidelines around 'complaints about named services'. We appreciate any and all feedback to be directed to our feedback and complaints form so that appropriate action can be taken: Feedback and complaints policy

If you have further questions about this, please feel free to email team@saneforums.org 😊

Thank you,

That's absolute bull @holdinghope5 I was just sharing my experience and was not making a complaint THere was no need to edit my damn post

Sharing my experience about how I us e the forum and you go and do that for no reason

Hi again @TheVorticon,

Our forums are a space for mental health peer support, and we'd like conversations there to focus on building connections, empowering one another, sharing lived experiences with a recovery-focused lens.

You are welcome to share poor experiences here too, however, we do ask that you keep it general (i.e. not naming the service). This is so we can encourage help-seeking behaviours. We can provide you examples of this and work together to re-edit your response if you'd like?

I've tried emailing you however, it doesn't seem to be working on my end. Please send us an email at team@saneforums.org if you'd like to further discuss it.

Thank you,

Holdinghope5

I've forgotten the password for my email address so I can't get to it until I get back home in a couple of days @holdinghope5

Look I wasn't just complaining, I was trying to explain what experience I have had so maybe I can find out how other people navigate it, what other people are doing differently from me. What is it that I'm doing that other people aren't so that they have good experiences when I have bad ones. Instead I get censored with a repetition of the same experience I'm trying to move away from.

How can I fix it if I don't understand the problem? How can I understand it if I don't express it in a place where others can comment?

I'm trying to get help and just get rejected yet again and I don't get it. The only conclusion I can draw is it's just me being shit and useless
