Re: Taking the plunge
Thanks @CheerBear ... I did so a couple of hours ago, but no action as yet. 😔

Re: Taking the plunge
@Former-Member I'm really glad to hear you did. It's tough over the weekend as sometimes things are better left to CMs who understand the nuances and context here more than part time moderators. Hold tight ❤😔

Re: Taking the plunge
@CheerBear I did some + stitch. It was quite good just stitching and getting a bit more done.
How did your day go?
@Former-Member Sorry you are feeling this way. It’s good you have dealt with it through the CMs .

Re: Taking the plunge
If it's the post I'm thinking of @Former-Member, I read it as talking about the mods rather than any of the members but who knows, I'm pretty clueless about this stuff. Either way please try not to personalise it (as difficult as that is) cause you have every right to talk about your stuff and talk to who you want without having to do 'silent'.

Re: Taking the plunge
Is this your big x stitch @Maggie? I am looking forward to seeing it. Big is x stitch mad now. Very cool 😊
Yesterday was pretty good thanks. Helpful appt with psych and GP for Middle. They have gone density tests booked and psych referral in. We came to our people's house in the afternoon. Unwell one has gone away which is very unusual so it was just the kids, well one and me. I made 2 Indian dishes and had fun in the kitchen then watched a show with well one.
Today is a walk with dog and playing with the chooks.
How's your day looking? How about you @Former-Member?

Re: Taking the plunge
@CheerBear You had fun in the kitchen 👍👍👍👍 Well done you. 2 Indian dishes.
Tests for Middle plus psych referral is really good @CheerBear . They are getting onto it as best they can atm. How long before results come through?
Maybe unwell person needs time out, hard to know. Are you concerned?
Walking in the bush with dog and chooks, sounds nice and relaxing. Have you got your beanie with two pom-poms on? 😀😀
I might spend some time in the garden later. A very damp area, so looking for what’s best to plant there.

Re: Taking the plunge
Thanks @CheerBear @Maggie @TheVorticon
Its possible I am being overly sensitive, but I think with other signs to back up my suspicions, I think thats unlikely. It all fits.
And it hurts me deeply that they think that way. Makes me feel like I should just go back to being 'invisible' rather than apparently treading on toes by being 'everywhere'.

Re: Taking the plunge
The tests are scheduled for a few months @Maggie so I think this will be quite a process. Happy the ball is rolling though.
Unwell one's weekend away is with a friend and planned so I'm not concerned. Just happy well one gets a break 😊
I sure do have my beanie on. And 2 pairs of pj pants, 2 pairs of socks, a singlet, jumper, jacket, dressing gown and fluffy slipper boots ☃️
I wish I knew gardening better. Not sure what grows in damp. A fish pond would be cool 😆
I'm watching Middle help move and feed the chickens. They're pretty cool. All different colours 😊
@Former-Member I am trying to find the balance between supporting you and leaving things that are best dealt with behind the scenes. It's hard as I wish I could reach out to you in person.

Re: Taking the plunge
Its okay @CheerBear .. I should not have said anything about it. Its just that it really hurts ... a lot. And it keeps playing over in my mind .... where did I go wrong?
I think I will just disappear while I feel this bad. I'm only bringing further distress upon myself by being here right now.
I'm really sorry everyone.

Re: Taking the plunge
You have every right to be as visible as you want @Former-Member. I can't see that you've done anything wrong just by sharing authentically. I think it would be a shame if you went into hiding because of it.
If someone doesn't like what you say then they don't have to read it, especially if you're not talking to them and vice versa.
In most of the forums I've been on (using vbulletin), there's been a way for users to block posts from other users (you see that there's a post from them but not what it says) and I found that helpful with one particular user on a forum one time whose posts just got under my skin for no particular reason other than the impression I got of them from some of their posts - they weren't talking to me or about me but I felt annoyed when they posted and it was on me to choose to be annoyed or to let it go. Being able to block the content of their posts made it easier to skip over them and let it go. I'm wondering if as this forum becomes more popular they might want to look into that sort of thing here... Dunno.
My original point (which may have got lost as I rambled on there) was that you're not responsible for anyone's feelings or actions here except for your own, same as everyone else.
