@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.
holding your hand @Phoenix_Rising and @Faith-and-Hope is too

Re: Riding a wave
Hi @Former-Member
I'm sorry to hear you feel this way, however you do raise some valid points which I will bring to the attention of the community manager/s @CherryBomb and @NikNik for further consideration as the forums are always evolving.
I'm also sorry that you didn't feel that the relationship was reciprocal between yourself and @Phoenix_Rising. I guess I'm concerned how @Phoenix_Rising might take/interpret your post, and moving forward for both yourself and the relationship.
Where to from here?

Hang tight, I'm grabbing my floaties, and swimming out to you.

Re: Riding a wave
@Phoenix_Rising, I'm going to start an email to you once I finish writing this post. But I just want you to know that I think you do an amazing job with managing your distress, while also being incredibly helpful and supportive to others.
DON'T STOP BEING YOU.
Will speak to you on email soon.

Re: Riding a wave
@CherryBomb I don't have my words. Not even proper writing words. No one here. Want to talk to you, can't find my words. Super wish it daytime. SANE people stay on phone when I can't find my words. Big big big big big feelings. Shame. Bad. Die Phoenix_Rising.
