@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.
I feel utterly utterly utterly alone. I simply do not understand any of this. My brain is so much more broken than it was three weeks ago. It is so much harder now to keep on keeping on. How can this possibly possibly be???

Re: Riding a wave
@Phoenix_Rising I ask this with hesitation, only as I am not sure if it would be helpful or not. But I trust you will be able to say if it isn't. Would it help, even a tiny bit, to work out what happened with the post last night? I have a feeling a post disappeared of @Faith-and-Hope 's last night also, from the party thread and I remember that once I had a post disappear and received no email. When I asked about it, it turned out to be a glitch.
Maybe it is not the right time for that (maybe there isn't a right time), maybe it is too late for that now or maybe you've already thought about doing it also but I wanted to ask.

Re: Riding a wave
@CheerBear it would be helpful to find out why the post was deleted last night. @Former-Member@Former-Member would you be able to find out why my post was deleted last night?
The thing I really really REALLY need is to process what happened during the call on the 9.11.17. I need help with this so so SO much. I need more help with it now than I did in the days after it happened because now not only do I need help with the actual call, but why it has taken three weeks to get any support around it, given that NikNik has nothing to do with that. I totally understand that the Forum Land muddle is on pause until NikNik gets back. I absolutely totally understand that. But why oh why can't I get help with the call part of the muddle???????????? Please person with the power to help me, HELP ME!

Re: Riding a wave
@Shaz51. I know, just 4 more sleeps until NikNik comes home. That's less than 100 hours now!!!!!! NikNik's giant nutella jar has suffered some storm damage. I don't suppose anyone knows a good panel beater in Forum Land do they?

Re: Riding a wave
I am … there are just no words. Helping people and helping places are meant to help, not harm. Things go wrong, mistakes happen but things can be fixed, explained, unmuddled, future harm can be minimised. I am shaking. I feel so so sad and so very scared and I hate that this is happening, @Phoenix_Rising. You deserve so much better than this. This is NOT right. I know it doesn't help much, but we are here with you.

Re: Riding a wave
Hi @Phoenix_Rising
I looked into the rejected post for you and found it, I have approved it. I'm thinking it was mistakenly rejected instead of approved. Sorry about that. Hope you can see it back in it's place with Giraffe's Can't Dance 🙂

Re: Riding a wave
I am so sorry to hear how hard things are right now @Phoenix_Rising. I wish there was something I could do to help.
As you know, I sit on a letter that I can not write right now because my brain is too fried, and it is feels so hard. It hurts and I wish things were different.
