Re: Data merger currently happening
I don’t think anyone has been able to see these threads, idk about other but I’ve had just a “no category’s found” show when the boards were down which is what you get when banned 🥲

Re: A goodbye from me ❤️
Thank you for the immense support @Aoife and for encouraging us to be stronger. I hope New Zealand brings you lots of joy ❤️
Re: Idk 😀
You're doing really well reaching out for support @ellie2000 
Do you find it helpful to write down how you're feeling as that could be a helpful way to think through how you're feeling and recognise when you're not doing so well.
I'm hearing you've lost interest in stuff which can be so hard to navigate. You mentioned something about people's recent behaviour. Do you feel comfy sharing more with us about what's been happening?
It sounds like you want to start playing the keyboard which can be a really lovely activity to do. It's also very calming depending on the music you want to play. YouTube videos and tutorials can be a great way to learn new things which might be a helpful way to start up a new hobby like playing the keyboard. You'll have to keep us updated with how you get on

Re: What’s the fucking point anymore
I'm really sorry to hear what you're going through right now @Rose113 . It sounds incredibly tough, and I can tell how much you're carrying on your own. No one has the right to make you feel selfish for putting your own mental health first and it’s always okay to ask for help when you need it.
It sounds like someone has really hurt you. If you feel comfortable, would you like to share more about how you're feeling with us?
You mentioned that you can't keep being strong or pretending everything is okay, and I just want to remind you that it's never selfish to look after your own mental health and put yourself first. You don’t have to put everyone above yourself—your wellbeing is so important, and you truly deserve support. You always have
How are you feeling today? Are you feeling safe right now?

Re: What’s the fucking point anymore
Love you have done enough you are amazing for trying to help but like you said you are not a professional and are dealing with your own stuff and that is completely fine. It is completely OK to not be OK. It is not your job to help everyone and I’m proud of you for trying. You don’t have to hide anything from me or hold anything in with me. If you don’t want to talk let me know. If you do want to talk let me know. If you want to call and just sit in silence again let me know. Be in your ball, tell me you need to be alone I got you. You don’t have to hide anything from me, you can let everything out with me but don’t bottle anything up love ❤️❤️

Re: September achievements, with a theme of perseverance!
lofi and phonk music. i dont know if many of you on here know what phonk is, but its basically a subgenre of hip-hop music.@toffuna101, very well done! It's great that you donated to Mind, I'm sure that they appreciate your contribution greatlyI'm really happy that you acknowledged that you needed support and that you've reached out to Samaritans as a result of this - this definitely wasn't easy to do, I really hope you get the support you need
And listening to music is such a great way to get past the difficult days - what kind of music do you like to listen to?
@Amy22, I'm really proud of you, you're doing so well! Honestly the process for finding a job is so difficult - I've been rejected plenty of times as well. Allow yourself to feel disappointed, what's important is that you pick yourself back up again, and this is what you're doing which is amazing! I'm sure you'll end up getting a job eventually with your perseverance
