Something’s not right

Riding a wave

Riding a wave

Hi all,

@CherryBomb, @Former-Member or any other @Former-Member floating around Forum Land, will you ride a wave with me? I thought I would be fine doing something...but it turns out that the something has made my big feelings BIG and now I'm in a pickle...and there's nothing worse than a pickled turtle! I'm going to go and snuggle in my bed so I probably won't actually respond to you, but it will still super help me to know that I am not utterly alone on the wave. I don't want to tag anyone else because I don't want anyone to feel they need to respond. Thank you in advance for riding with me.

OMG @Former-Member you haven't even come close to saying anything that would get you 'kicked out' - trust me on that - I have been in other muddles before - and funnily enough wioth little turtle (she really is a bad influence on me LOL)

Re: Riding a wave

Yep, that's because I'm being super quiet, @Zoe7. I don't get angry often, but I am having some gigantic feelings about all this.

(And just quietly, I think maybe you're a bad influence on each other ... in the best possible way of course.) 😁

Re: Riding a wave

I hear you @Former-Member - I can honestly tell you that I have held back alot myself. I have had an imaginary NikNik whispering in my ear this this afternoon. I wrote a very long post that I didn't post as I did not want to be disrespectful to anyone - then I saw the changed guidelines. Angry, frustrated, perceived as lacking in any intelligence, unable to join the (many) dots, unable to see what is happening etc. etc., - that is how I feel we are being treated.

Absolute pet hate of mine ... yes, I have a mental illness—I'm sad, not stupid.

Re: Riding a wave

I think @Former-Member that is where my real anger lies - being treated by those that should know better - that we are not lacking in insight or intelligence and trying to 'get things past us' just doesn't fly!
