Fragile

@Former-Member I dont understand other formites can post self harming posts without having their posts deleted .... only mine get deleted.

Hello @Emelia8 I do have some right to acknowledge my fragility dont I?

Thanks for clarifying @Former-Member Mods need to know that part of my time on the forum is to keep you guys honest. Much less than me gettting support.

Hey @Bunniekins

It is not good to have one's cry wiped out ... the only appropriate response is gentle wiping of tears.

@wellwellwellnez I doubt it was your post, dont let it stop you from jumping in ...you give great contributions, before long we will only have robot scripted responses that we are allowed to post.

@Former-Member I know its not your fault, but I, now think the forum is doubling down on self harm and suicide in the wrong way, rendering the forum less effective.

I read the lovely diagram re "safe posting and suicide" posted by @Daisydreamer but my thoughts were that it was just as likely to push me over the edge ....not that is was helpful. Its only helpful for people who have plenty of support, just my opinion.

Good Lord folks if I had put those kind of requirements on my sibs then I would have things on my conscience. I just loved and accepted them and had to put up with the dreadful LACK in the services while I was looking after small children. Now the lack in services to my sibs becomes reason to eternally blame me for being not good enough. We have to be careful not drive people to rash actions because the so called "appropriate" outlets are not functioning ... even if there are a few poster children used to say that the ... system is working ... I am not really feeling it.

@Appleblossom I agree totally with you. Thank you Apple

Yes of course @Appleblossom 👍 you have every right to express your fragility. And hope you continue to feel able to do so. 💕 I agree with so much of what you just said.

I am so sorry @Bunniekins . I know how upsetting it can be to have posts removed. 😔 It always happens at a time we most need support and that just makes it all the harder. Sitting with you sweet Pea. Please keep yourself safe. 💞

@Emelia8 scared what to write in case it gets wiped off. Thanks for sitting with me 😞 I am a sad little pea tonightx

Yes @Bunniekins I can see and hear that you are a very sad Pea 💔😔

Can you give Bunny a cuddle? 🐰🐇 💕 I know that giving my Holly a cuddle helps when I'm feeling low.

Incoming Hugs from me @Bunniekins

Maybe we can just have a virtual cuppa with @wellwellwellnez and @Emelia8

You three have never made me feel bad, in fact the opposite, in your unique ways and I do appreciate it. Sorry for being a bit prickly. Got a lot going on with son too.

hot choc if thats your thing

I so understand the difficulties around the discussion, but people have to be able to be real. Safety is more complicated than limiting disccussion it is about being able to hold the person in their fragility, whether it be anybody feeling that way, Safety will not happen by sweeping things under the carpet and hiding it.

@Emelia8 i wish I could cuddle bunny but because of my shakey hands I cant but I can give him lots of pats and he is easily bribed with a couple of sultana treats :). It is really hard these days to type because of my hands.

@Appleblossom @Emelia8 @wellwellwellnez I would love a virtual cuppa good idea. You are right with everything you say Apple. Sometimes I feel I have been gagged. Mental illness is messy and can be confronting. I just needed help.

Sorry to hear of shaking hands @Bunniekins that must be really hard. I thought it was one of the things that had hoped to fix with meds changes?

Yes @Appleblossom I would be very happy to share a hot choc with you and the others here. Any time. I didnt think you were being prickly, just speaking your mind. And I like that ... you have a great mind. 😄
