Hi guys

i created a new thread so not to trigger anyone and not to override your post @Zoe7

Firstly thank you for all your support over today and last night and being concerned. i did ring a hotline today (suicideline). im sure they are sick of hearing from me by now.

it has been a massive night and day starting with a trigger post and things just kept pileing up one thing after another.

the forums were just too hard to be on for the past day and i just needed to distance myself for abit.

I thought i had supports off the forum besides my gp and psych but i havent. my family isnt supporting me now and the two friends that i did have have split the scene. (they were friends before i came into the pciture so kinda expected). like a chain reaction.

@Zoe7 - my 'guardian angel' thank you for all your hugs and kind words and thinking im resilient.. you are such a beautiful, caring person and i appreciate it

@Former-Member - i was stupid enough not to call the helplines last night but i pretty much forced myself to ring them today. thank you for sticking around last night. greatly appreciated.

@Faith-and-Hope - i really appreciate you help. Zoe was right about you. i did get in contact with a helpline just not straight away like i should have.

@Former-Member- thank you for taking the time to help me out today. i really appreciate it.

I cant remember the rest or find if anyone else said anything so i hope i tagged everyone....

i really appreciate all your help. im still not back to whether id like to be so i might not be around the forums as much as id like to but ill be around is anyone needs me esp all of you, so dont hesitate to tag me in things if you need me ok ?

i really cant express how much i really appreciate you guys being there for me. i could feel all your 'hugs' coming through the screen as i was reading through the comments.

i didnt want to come on here earlier in case i came across another trigger, even unintentionally so i thought it would be safer to stay distant.

i also didnt want to come on here and set anyones triggers off, nor upset anyone and i didnt want to offend anyone through the day for any reason.

i wont tell you everything that happened today as itll be triggering for many of you if not all depending on sensitivity to certain things. but i can tell you ther were many things that were happening and none of them were good (i thought i was going to end up in hospital last night and today up until about 5pm) ive just started to clam down now. i hope this doesnt set anyones triggers off at all. please let me knoe if it does and ill edit so i leave that part out ok? i wont be offended, not in the slightest

i think part of the reason i pulled through today was because of you guys. i could 'feel' your support even the minor ones. so THANK YOU!!!!

I honestly cant express that enough.

Re: Thank you Everyone

@Former-Member Very good, let it all out. I'm glad your not going to have to evacuate. When I get flooded in, well it was 3 weeks one year. It gets a little frustrating, because basics start to run out, milk, bread etc. But they helicopter in baby needs and medicines and the likes. I actually kind of like it, because the highway traffic completely stops (due to the fact the football field size chunks of the road disappear!) and it's so peacefully quite 🙂

Re: Thank you Everyone

@Former-Member, I can underwstand that it may be triggering for others but just don't let it bottle up and get too overwhelming for you to be able to deal with. On this forum I put aside any post that are triggering to me and not read or post to them until I am able. I know this can be extremely hard.

We live ontop of a hill. We were able to get to our local area for a while until that got cut off. We got out and managed to get what little supplies left in the shops that we could. By this time the power had gone out, no cold food and the fuel station could not pump fuel for the generator. (we live on acreage with tank water: no power, no pump, no flowing water.)

But hay, we survived, Pool as a bath, Buck water out of the tank, BBQ dinners as the freezer was starting to defrost.

Re: Thank you Everyone

yeah its pretty scary the thought of having to evacuate. @Heart@Former-Member

ive just created a new thread if you think youd like to read it i can tag you in it otherwise its called Depression-really struglling

Re: Thank you Everyone

@NikNik, correct me if I'm wrong, but the whole idea of this forum is for people to be able to speak about their issues and get the support that they need. If everyone had to think that posts may trigger some people, then we wouldn't have this forum to be able to support people in time of need.

Re: Thank you Everyone

Re: Thank you Everyone

Hi @Heart

We all have a variety of triggers and just have to be aware of those. So to a degree, we have look after ourselves and set boundaries to not feel like we have to respond to posts that trigger us.

However, in our guidelines, we do have some parameters around triggering content.

For example:

  • we don't allow content that contains a specific method of suicide.
  • We don't know graphic descriptions of self harm or abuse

These guidelines are based on research, best practice and developed in consultation with carers and people with lived expeirence in the early days of this community.

You can find the guidelines here

Hope that helps.

Nik
