Re: donating blood

Hey @toffuna101 , how are you feeling about the donation? Thanks so much for sharing this! It sounds like making the donation feels really important to you and you really want to contribute to helping others!

Re: (Drunk suicidal thoughts) I have nothing to look forward to in life

@Sian321 hiya, I’ve cried a lot this morning before heading into work. Then I felt a little depressed due to the people I’m around and I’m feeling better now, thank you.

My safety plan comes with a list of questions, one includes one which says “what makes it more difficult to act on my urges” and I’ve answered with “the aftermath of failing”

Basically I have to recall a list of reasons to motivate me to keep going.

Re: donating blood

That sounds like a very good thing your going to be doing soon and I think it's fantastic you want to donate blood too because a donation can definitely save lives. I've been thinking about donating but I'm unsure at the moment, I have got lots of family members who have donated their blood over the years. Good luck with it and I'm sure you will do brilliantly x

Re: Testing New Text Box

Definitely @Katie, this one is easy to use in comparison. Yes some of the formatting options don't select, but if I want them I can find the BB code for them and get them that way.

My double enter is back!!

And yes, accessibility is so important, and even among technical experts, their knowledge of screen readers and how they work is super limited. Something may be useable, but the key word there is useable, not necessarily fun or easy to use.
