My special place

The forums can be a tricky place to be. I need the forums support, yet at the same time I feel like I am taking that support from someone who needs it more then me. I also get scared that people have had enough of my whinging, as I have had enough of it myself.

Doesn't seem like whinging to me hun, seems like doing the brave thing and talking about everything you're going through. And no one can 'take support' from someone else - that's what the team is here for, to prioritise and triage members in distress to ensure that those who need the support, receive it. And that's why it's a team, too - even though there's only usually one or two mods/PSWs on at a given time, we don't work in isolation, and have our own supports in place too, so that should things get a bit hectic on the forums, we have backup. So no one gets left behind or has to suffer alone.

I’ve felt very alone and deserted this week @Snowie my gp is trying to stay on top of things but I am just working against her and sabotaging everything. I’m just so tired of it all.

things have happened around here and I just don’t feel comfortable or safe. Or wanted. Ready to disappear

sorry I’ll let you go enjoy pgc

I'm sorry you feel this way @Bow You deserve to have support around you.

I hope in the future that you will feel comfortable and safe hon. You always have a safe space here with me.

I am struggling to connect with PGC so happy to continue to talk if thats what you need.

Sorry I’m not getting email notifications for some reason @Snowie

thanks hon.

do you know when your admission will be? Got plans for tomorrow?

I'm not getting notifications either @Bow Maybe a glitch in the background.

I've got another appt. with my pdoc on Saturday, so that might shred more light on the topic.

No plans for tomorrow. I'm hoping to sleep in, have been awake since 5.

Have you got any plans?

I have notified our IT team about lack of emails, thanks for reporting @Snowie @Bow 💜

Glad your pdoc is keeping in close contact @Snowie you deserve the support.

no plans here either. Mum did ask me to grab some lamb today, so I got a roast. It’s gonna be a scorcher here tomorrow so plan to just stay inside in the AC.

Some seem to be coming through @Jynx just not all of them.

Only 22 here tomorrow @Bow Would like to just stayed curled up in bed all day.

I hope the AC gives you some relief from the heat.

Going to head to bed @Bow

Think sleep is the best thing.

I hope you get some sleep tonight and tomorrow is a bit brighter for you.

Take care hon 💌💌

Hang in there @Bow . I haven’t been sleeping properly and am hypomanic (I have bipolar 1, but at least I know I am. Planning to write a series of novels set in Mexico about a family with mental illness. Covering 530 years of a family history. Been reading heaps of history and some articles I wrote some years ago. Lots of rain here today in Adelaide which was great because I had just planted lots of things. You are worthwhile Bow.
