Till23 Drops In

Till23 Drops In

Hello to all the people I know on the forums. I have been away from the forums for a few months. I sometimes had a bit of a browse now and then, but that has been less and less. However, there are now so many changes that I don't really know how the forums work anymore.

I just thought I'd drop by and say I still think about the people I met here and miss chatting to people at times. I hope everyone is doing as well as they can be.

I have become more heavily involved in my sport and am about to do a big trip with a couple of big events.

I won't be able to remember everyone here in this post, some people may have left or changed user names, but hello @tyme @AuntGlow @Jynx @Shaz51 @MJG017 @Dimity @Appleblossom @AlwaysMyself @Zoe7

Hi All, including @Dimity @MissGremlin @Shaz51 @Chasingsunsets @Cuddlebear @Appleblossom it was lovely to see your responses. Are @AlwaysMyself, @MJG017 and @Zoe7 still on the forums?

I am sorry some of you seem to be having a particularly hard time, but hope you are able to move through it.

@Shaz51 I currently have two other people in my life with decreased kidney function, and I often think of you, I hope you are going as well as possible with your ailments.

I am currently very busy with sport, I have a couple of leadership roles at the moment (little do they know how mad I am 🤣) so that is stressful. My sport has kind of taken over my life, which is kind of good, but I wish wasn't taking so much of my time. I have less time to get out into nature and do photography. Hopefully when I come back from this trip I will be able to diversify again and get more into MH advocacy, which I have slightly increased with a couple of new things. Although my mother is a bit unwell at the moment, so will need to spend more time on that.

But I am endlessly grateful that I am physically well enough to do sport and other physical pursuits. I am grateful that I can afford to go on trips with my sport. I am grateful that I live in Australia, that I have pretty stable accommodation, and I can be fairly comfortable financially, although I have to scrimp for the trips (but it is worth it).

All the best to you all, I will drop in every now an again I suppose, although due to the changes I do feel a bit disconnected.

@Till23 Hello my friend. I’m so glad to hear from you. Your tag for Jynx did work. :) I’m really happy you have been able to go on trip and have leadership roles in the sport. I want all the good things for you so much. I truly want you to be happy and am grateful you’ve been able to stay active. I hope your mum is going to be ok. There’s a few of us struggling that is very true. I’m still unwell Unfortunateky. I miss having a life. I’m pretty sick and cannot find a way out at the moment. I value having the forums and have missed you.

Re: Till23 Drops In

Hi @Cuddlebear are we no longer able to tag mods? My mod tagging just got edited out by a mod. So am unable to tag them to engage with them. All these changes have really made the forums a bit unfriendly to me, but that's my humble opinion.

Anyhow leaving that aside, thank you for your wishes which I appreciate. Yes, I have some physical health problems, but mostly they don't stop me from doing things, or at least not for too long periods of time. Although saying that age is catching up with me and I can't do as much or as easily as I could. That's a reason I keep doing things so that I am able to keep doing things, for as long as possible. My mother is getting on in years so she is declining, but it's been a bit quicker lately. Physically she has always been quite good.

I am sorry that you are still unwell and finding difficult to do things. How is Wilbur going?

Re: Till23 Drops In

@Till23 In regards to tagging moderators there’s still been some bugs in the system. @Nala2022 is currently moderating they might be able to answer that question better. I am glad you are engaging in sport the more you are able to engage the better it is as we age. I’m sorry your mum has been declining more lately and I hope she’s able to stabilise. It’s hard as we age but I’m really glad your mum has you. That in itself is a huge benefit. Yes I continue this horrible state I’m in. Wilbur is ok bht had some concerning blood results. We see the vet again Tuesday to re do those and he might need ultra sound. this has caused me a great deal of distress. He turns 3 on Monday.

Hi @Till23, I hope you're well 😊

You can still tag moderators just as you would any other member when you're replying to them or continuing a conversation.

The only thing we ask is that members don't use the forums to ask about a moderator's whereabouts or availability, as this helps protect staff privacy

Thanks for checking!

@Till23!!! I have missed you!! How are you? 🤩

I am so happy you're still engaged with sport - SO cool that you are taking on some leadership roles. (Mad is a necessary ingredient in evocative and impactful leadership I reckon 😉).

When will you have more time for MH advocacy/photography?

How is mum feeling now?

It's so lovely to hear you speak about gratitude, it sounds like you're doing really well. I am so proud of all the ways you are caring for yourself. I hope this is showing little Till how wonderful she is and reminding adult Till of all that she is capable of. 🥰
