Maybe leaving (again...)

Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,938 Extreme Poster
I know I've said this several times :sweat_smile: This is the last one, don't worry.

I've tried giving the boards another go and I don't know what I think. I feel unwanted, apprehensive and unneeded on here. It's not anyone's fault, it's just general feelings I'm struggling with that are interfering with my time on the boards.

If I do leave, it's only gonna be partly. I'll always still be reachable through PM, and I might drop some hugs around. But I likely wouldn't be commenting or really interacting anymore.

I'm just posting so you know what's going on if I disappear at any point. If the problems would go away I'd like to stay here, but I just can't stop feeling useless. Again, it's general feelings, not because of anyone <3

    Actually, no I'm not *rolls eyes*

    I'm really so sorry. I keep bringing this up in the heat of the moment. I always think I've thought things through, but thing is, my feelings are contradicting. I want to leave because I think everyone wants me gone, but I don't want to leave for a few reasons.

    But this is the last time. As is evident by the amount of times I've talked of leaving, my feelings aren't gonna change. I'm definitely just leaving this time and I won't be giving more false alarms.

    I'll just do the leaving partly thing that I talked about in my first post. My account will still be here and my inbox always open - if anyone needs me or just wants a chat :) - I just probably won't interact on the boards and will be a lot less active.

    Hey Kathleen, 

    Dont worry about needing to take space away from the boards we all have days were we need some space. We are always here for you when ever you need to rant, scream, or even just want a hug. I'm not active on my account much but that's cos I'm busy so it's okay to take time for you and if you need support in really hope you consider reaching out here on the boards. 

    Speak soon

What they will see is how kind you are because you experienced how cruel the world is. What they will see is how good you are because you've seen how bad things or people can be.

    Thank you all so much <3

    I was going to post this in the hugs thread or activity profile but remembered this thread exists. I just want to bump it to say I'm leaving now. But please don't feel like you can't message me, if you do I'll come back on to reply to you. I'm in a really bad place at the moment and I just want to isolate myself (hopefully that doesn't sound self-pitying lol).

    Thank you for giving me a place to be listened to and stay strong x

    We're really going to miss you @Past User <3

    I'm sorry to hear you're not in a good place at the moment. Keep fighting and holding onto that little bit of hope that things can and will get better because they really can. You're an amazing person and have so much strength which I really admire. Look after yourself and I really hope to see you back here soon <3

    Maybe somethings don't get better, but we do. We get stronger. We learn to live with our situations as messy and ugly as they are. We fix what we can and we adapt to what we can't. Maybe some of us will never fully be okay, but at least we're here. We're still trying. We're doing the best we can. That's worth celebrating too ❤
