Discouraged about sharing my experiences in the Discussion Boards
Hello.
About a month ago, I responded to a comment on one of my threads and did not receive a response. I messaged the moderator directly to ask them to a reply to my post and spoke to another moderator about how it made me feel. She told me to refrain from messaging the mod directly to ask them for a response and explaining how the discussion boards work and availability contributing to the lack of response. Her message, particularly her comment felt very personal, making me view myself negatively. I shared how I felt with her but she did not respond which made me feel ignored. Since the situation, I have been feeling discouraged about sharing my experiences in the community.
I have tried to reassure myself that it is okay to feel ignored and discouraged by the moderator's message. I understand that while it felt personal, others have likely had similar experiences, and it is possible the moderator did not intend it that way. She wanted to try to explain the rules about contacting moderators and prepare me for the possibility of future posts not getting responses. I tried to remember that everyone has misunderstood a rule, and that the mistake does not define me. I know I am worthy of love, but the message still felt personal. Even if the intention was good, it could have been delivered more considerately.

Heartstopper watch party! 🌈 Feb 15
Hey everyone! Happy LGBTQ+ History Month! 🌈
FINALLY, we've gotten around to organising this, as I know so many of you were interested! 🎉
Join me on Saturday, February 15th, from 2-4pm for a Heartstopper Watch Party! It's the perfect way to celebrate LGBTQ+ History Month and connect with other young people and fans of the show.
We'll watch the first 3 episodes of Season 1 together! (Unless there are any other preferences?)
We've got a lot of other exciting Heartstopper content coming out too, including a podcast with Leila Khan from the show and an article on what queer representation on TV means to our community. I'll share them both when they're live!
Maybe this is the month for our Heartstopper quiz too?! 🤔
We'll be using Chatwee to chat during the watch party, so come along and join in! https://client-mhi.chatwee.com/popout/66eb761d589dca7a414ec351
Please Note: Heartstopper is unfortunately only shown on Netflix. So you will need access to a Netflix account to join in

Re: Aimee & Dottie …. Over and Out
best of luck with everything @Millie2787 - you've been amazing to have around on the Mix. you're gonna be a fantastic nurse i'm sure of it. sending you lots of hugs 
feeling silly - tw// self harm
hey:)
the past few days have been struggling a lot and as mentioned in the title, i ended up self harming. i am safe at the moment.
today in class though, a teacher was handing out some pages to each of us in the middle of teaching, she was still explaining as she handed them out and noticed the bandage on my arm and then quietly said to me “what happened to your arm”, i didn’t want to announce self harm to my whole class, or even for the people nearby me to hear so i just responded with “oh im fine”.
i don’t know why this has got me so much:/ to the point it’s been my only focus since - even at lunch, one of the other teachers i have had spoke to me as i passed by her, she literally called my name a few times and yeah i just ignored her unintentionally - i then finally reacted and was like “oh hi” and i sorta feel bad because i just hadn’t acknowledged her at first then just said “oh hi”.
this all feels sooo silly because it really wasn’t that big of a deal but yeah im just being dramatic i guess:/
