In a thread yesterday I said I was serious about leaving the community. I was feeling very, very stressed, completely overwhelmed, and I started to convince myself that walking away was the only option. I thought maybe if I stepped back for good, things would quiet down in my mind. But the more I sat with that decision, the more I realized how much this community truly means to me. It’s not just a space online it’s something I’ve grown with, something I’ve poured my heart into, and something that’s given me a sense of belonging during some of my toughest moments.

Despite everything that’s happened, we’re still here for each other on the chats, the boards, and in the quiet moments in between. That means more than I can put into words. The truth is, I care too much to walk away. This isn’t just a support space, we are a family. And families don’t give up on each other when things get rough. We support, we struggle, and we move forward together. So I’m staying here until I age out. I’m going to push through the stress and the doubt, because I believe in what we’ve built here. I believe in us. And no matter what comes next, we’ll face it side by side. The excitement of joining chats and threads has never disappeared and it never will, ive never left a support session disappointed and never will, I'm coming to chats and will be right here on boards, I'll be here for everyone just like you are all here for me. With all the support and what we have Im going to get into a job with all of you behind me and all of you are going to get through your struggles too with each others backs. I'm looking forward to it. I'll see you all round ❤️.

    Heyy! I totally understand how you feel, although I am extremely new to this community I have been part of similar ones before and they really can start to feel overwhelming sometimes. But I totally agree with you, for the little that I have been here the community has been so welcoming and it seems like such a nice space. I hope that I get to experience the enjoyment that you have had on this forum.

    I hope that you're doing well though or atleast feeling a little less stressed, there's nothing wrong at all with taking some time for yourself if you are feeling overwhelmed!
