    Sometimes when the people most like you don't love you, it is a hurt that can cause the greatest pain, and this pain can lead you to hate everything.

    On the topic of responses, this will undoubtedly take days, if not weeks, to be responded to because the community team don't usually even have the info to answer our questions and have to wait to get it.

    yeah, ive noticed that. usually the community team arent the one who make the decisions and just have to follow the higher ups. well, if there are even higher ups.

    At least it's not a closed thread like some of them have been.

    I'm very sad. It feels so wrong

    What’s the point of the mix anymore? Next it will be no advice or support just “active listening”

    Exactly. I’m sorry but if anyone thinks this is a step forward in mental health support it really, really is not. It’s a step backwards. I’ll continue living my lonely little life :joy:

    Yeah what else is coming next?

    i have a gut feeling that its going to be links/images. or at least links that are heavily moderated like childline. no hate to childline by the way, i feel like the nspcc is doing a great job.

    watch this thread be closed 🤣🥱
    ppl dont always need advice. sometimes all they rly need is a hand to hold. an ear to listen. and a heart to understand them. 🧸

    No disrespect to childline at all, I found it a very, very helpful service back in the day @Redemption, but it does feel like these boards are becoming more and more like theirs. You can’t contact anyone outside of them, and all posts have to be approved before they go live. It’s fair enough for them, because they are dealing with children (some as young as 8 or 9 using the community space) rather than primarily young adults.

    But we are being treated like 8 years olds 🫠 just change to age rating at this rate
