Re: [UPDATED] ⏸️ Support Group Break from 16/09 - 06/10 (+ important information!)

That makes sense, and especially time off for the mods is really important especially around christmas. It’s just something worth thinking about as I seem to remember we have had 3 breaks (not including this one) in the past few months and I know people struggle with them.
You're not wrong here @independent_ - we've had more breaks than usual, quite close together, and Support Groups have had more downtime than you guys want and expect. We don't take that suspension of support lightly and we know it has an impact on everyone.
That will feed into our planning, but to be realistic with you, I have a feeling that our routine scheduling needs will force us to still take those breaks. At least the closest ones.
Either way it's tricky to say anything at this point, but the mod team agrees with you that it would be good for us to balance that out in the future if we have the resources to.

Re: my mum grew her wings yesterday. 🕊️ 💔
yesterday me and my sister was with my mum when she was took of life support bc her body failed rly instantly.i rly miss her i rly do bc she was my reason why i am here today rn im rly struggling bc its so hard now im having to be with my dad now which is hard. i know she was rly poorly but i thought she could fight it but the consultant looking after mum said she was trying but nothing was working. rn i feel broken i feel awful im 18 and now lost my mum i rly miss her i feel awful.
Im so sorry to hear that @eylah that must tough for you to process right now. Your super young to have a lost parent and I can't imagine the amount of pain you must be in. I know that the doctors and hospital staff were trying their super best to bring her back to her former state but unfortunately it wasn't possible. It sounds like she was going through a lot with her own struggles and battles as well. However, I can assure you she is no longer in pain and is in a safe place where she won't have to be constantly fighting a battle. Im sorry for you loss right now and I am thinking of you so much

Re: intrusive thoughts
Sorry to hear this @toffuna101 intrusive thoughts can definitely be frustrating and I'm sure something other people here will relate to. Being able to recognise them is a great first step though! And as mentioned above, engaging in your interests could help to make these type of thoughts become more manageable. We're here for you if you want to explore some more

For anyone wondering, the opt-in process for transferring your data hasn't started yet. We'll have an update on that for y'all soon - don't worry about it too much for now.
