For a while I have tried to find a thread I had started when I joined the forum that could be a "home" thread for me.
Being busy about the forum has been a coping style, where I can acknowledge all my different life experiences that had been silenced. Possibly do some good and prevent things from getting worse. Like the little boy with the finger in the dyke.

@Former-Member @Zoe7 Thanks for your clarification. I have not received an email. I actually checked if Sane had sent me something before I posted it 2nd time. I am receiving general Sane emails to my new address, but still not received anything specific. Perhaps you sent it to my old address?

Hey @Appleblossom,
I'm not too sure about it as there is one email address connected to your member name. If you like, you can email us at team@saneforums.org so we can follow up privately. Also, you can try searching your junk folder.
Warmest regards,
Sphinxly

Heavy SI through night despite prn taken.
Doing little jobs but dont feel long for this earth.
I am too damaged now to be able to work with people.
He is right about societal drivers of mental illness. That is a much better way of putting it than blaming family and carers.
Interesting to hear from a Gps perspective.
Hmmmm Medicare structured mental health plans ... and the psychologists put up their fees ... for ...??? There should be no gap fee. Sheer Greed. I have paid plenty fees mind you, but gotten very little advice or appropriate support, Except from one. Better psychology from the internet, and I wonder why I am left with a sense of outrage.
"Abundance of services for well heeled patients in wealthy areas" . .. I could have written that!
"We all break eventually given enough stress."

Dignity in the community would be nice, especially after feeling shamed by yesterday.
Interesting a few things coming together in Geel Flanders where St Dymphna escaped her father and set up mental health care. CSA and grief and death. Why does that not surprise me.
@Former-Member I tried to change email settings, but was prevented, and have sent another email to you.
Edited per emailed request.
Also I think emails settings are good again.

Note to Self
Dignity in the community would be nice but seems to big an ask and is not really up to me.
