Talking through trauma and PTSD

The me no one knows - SI warning

The me no one knows - SI warning

I’ve made this space to have somewhere safe to talk and share things.

to chat with every one who has shown concern about and for me.

I have spent almost all my life masking, from as far back as primary school (possibly younger).

almost no one knows the real me. Not sure if I even know the real me.

my past is filled with lots of darkness. People I’ve tried to speak with during my life either don’t believe me or don’t want to know

@AlwaysMyself @Bunniekins @Captain24 @Cuddlebear @rav3n @Jynx

hiding behind the mask pretending nothing is wrong. Putting on brave face whilst inside I’m a shattered pieces. Feeling lost and completely alone. No one wants anything to do with me. Relatives only contact when they want something. Going to bed every night hoping to never wake again

Re: The me no one knows - SI warning

@Flutterbug9 Hello lovely. I totally understand about the panic and leaving comfort and safety zone. I’m glad you’ve been able to make some improvement but I can really empathise that the panic sets in for other things like social settings etc.

I’ve never had exposure therapy. It can work for some people. I’m glad it helped a little.

I’ve been off forums simply because I’ve been so unwell and it’s hard to even come here. I’m trying to be here more. So lonely and being as I am is very hard.

I had a biopsy on my mole yesterday. Wasn’t an easy day. Will take 7-10 days to get results.

Re: The me no one knows - SI warning

@Cuddlebear Been few things on the forums over last few days that have greatly upset me and left me questioning the benefit of me staying or leaving.

Today feeling.hurt, upset and let down by mods.

sorry to hear you have/are not well.

sometimes taking time just to oneself can be a positive.

sorry to hear you are feeling lonely.

can be very fine line, when not well, trying to work out which option/s is best.

hoping outcome of biopsy is known soon and shows there is no area or reason for concern

Im logging off the forums. Need to distance myself from the forums for awhile.

@Captain24 I’m sorry. Just can’t be here atm. For benefit of my MH and emotions I need to distance myself from the forums for awhile.

please believe me, nothing to do with you.

been other things last few days. Currently really hurting and feeling let down by mods

Re: The me no one knows - SI warning

@Flutterbug9 I’m sorry I’ve noticed that there’s hardly any mods or peer support on the forums.

I’m not sure what’s happened because I’ve been offline but doing what is best for you is important. I’d like to see the forums have peer support back properly and moderators who are paying attention too.

Sending you my love and healing too.

Re: The me no one knows - SI warning

@Cuddlebear approx 6hrs ago, on this thread, I posted reply to a mod requesting a specific word be removed. Also included tag to all mods. nothing has happened.

for some unknown reason one of the mods made assumption about type of my infusion. The post says “iron infusion”. A post that contains false and misleading statement.

A post that follows a message I tagged Tyme in to bring her up to date with me. A post I don’t understand the reasoning behind why it is there. (minor in overall context)

Wording of the post annoyed me and became the last thing For my emotions. Even typing this I’m in tears

plrase take care and know you are never far from my thoughts

Re: The me no one knows - SI warning

Hi @Flutterbug9 ,

Sorry to hear about what has been happening. We hear your frustrations and how having multiple, unfamiliar mods can be somewhat unstablising.

Would it be helpful for you to email us, or for us to email you? We are happy to discuss via email if you'd like: team@saneforums.org

Happy if you'd like the discussion here too.

Re: The me no one knows - SI warning

It’s not unfamiliar mods @tyme

It’s feeling like there is no support.

To post requesting one simple thing be done and 6hrs later nothing has been done.

its frustrating and upsetting

has left a feeling only people who care are small number I chat with via the forums

if don’t know someone’s story and background, dont make assumption!!

not directed at you @tyme Summarising one of the things that upset me

In response to: Re: The me no one knows - SI warning

Re: The me no one knows - SI warning

That’s ok @Flutterbug9

I do understand how certain things from mods can be unsettling especially when it’s taken out of context. I know how it can feel.

Please know you are wanted and cared for here.

You need to do what is best for you currently. You need to look after yourself. I will be here when you are ready.

Hey @Flutterbug9 ,

I'm sincerely apologise for the upset this has caused.

Also, please bear with us as new moderators are going through training.

At the same time, thank you for raising this. It is something we can raise during training. Your feedback is important to us.
