Leaving the forum

To my dear friends

@outlander @Schitzo @Candydipper1 @Adge @Jynx @eth @nashy @Maggie @TheVorticon @NatureLover @Shaz51 @Rebel @Snowie @The-red-centaur @Anastasia @Former-Member @Clawde @Zoe7 @Appleblossom @TAB @MDT @Gazza75 @frog

I don't want to leave the forum without saying bye & spending a few days chatting before I go.

I want to thank you for all the support and love you shared with me.I've learned so much from everyone. I'd love to see you all for a real cuppa, but then it wouldn't be a forum where we can feel safe. I'll just miss you all.

The reason for me leaving is because I need to change things in my life. I think I'm living my last chance of life and I don't want to miss it. I want to live. I attempted suicide again recently and it scared the shit out of me. I can't continue the way I was and I need to take responsibility. The forums are great, but I dissociate when I'm unwell and I need to be in touch by phone or see people in person. So in order to make that a normal part of my life I am cutting ties with online forums, social media and text supports. I've tried for so long to know when the difference or the tipping point is, but I need help from people who can look me in the eye or hear my voice regularly and when I'm feeling ok so when I'm not they can make arrangements, whether it's my husband, care team or support services. I'm not scared to have the amubance take me away anymore or me going to ER. Better to take me when I'm unwell than dead. I'm scared that my luck has run out.

People say, stay mindful, live in the present, I can't do that when I'm fixated to my screen and I'm the sort I'd person that just can't 'not look'.

I'll be closing my account on Monday, so if you want to come by and say hi please do so.

Always remember how amazing every single one of you is! I will miss you! Stay safe everyone xox

Re: Leaving the forum

@Former-Member It is with both sadness and pride that I read your message. What you are doing is such a positive step forward for you and where you want to head in life. It takes a lot of self awareness and a whole bunch of courage to leave something that has become such a major part of your life but we all need to move on from things at times and when you are doing that for your ongoing wellbeing and growth then that is not only commendable but admirable.

I truly hope this next chapter of your life brings with it a whole bunch of light and continued hope. You have come so very far in your own personal journey since you first joined here but just as a baby bird eventually needs to leave the nest - you too have grown your wings to fly.

Keep listening to yourself, keep reaching out when you need to those that are there for you and above all remember the massive progress and insight you have yourself in dealing with your mental healt. You will definitely be missed around the forum but I personally will always smile thinking of you because this decision you have made has obviously be made with both courage and a recognition of your own needs. Super proud to have known you and hoping very much that this next chapter of your life is filled with light and hope

Stay safe, stay strong and stay YOU

I wish you all the very best, may you find peace and joy in your lives and always remember that you are special & worthy of love and care.
