Hey @wolvesrunfree I'm sorry you're feeling bored and numb at the moment. Was there anything specific on your mind that you wanted to chat about? ... View more

Hey @litgym this sounds like really difficult space to be in. Do you think it would be helpful to follow your safety plan? Or how can we best support you right now?   Also I just sent you an email about some small edits on the below post  ... View more

Okay well with regards to other RO members... While I understand your frustrated, the forums aren't the right space to express your concerns, as anybody could be thinking you're talking about them AND it sounds like you're upset with how RO are moderating rather than the member themselves, so really that's on us @Saltwaterdreamtime. And I know you have already but I'd encourage you to send us through one more email outlining everything from your perspective    I'm so sorry you feel unheard by us and others that would definitely make me feel frustrated and perhaps quite lonely? I do log off very soon but I please know we are here to listen, we just all need to be mindful of how we express ourselves and what we chose to share on the forums. Because ultimately, we want to be solution focused rather than problem focused if that makes any sense?    I do hope you give that problem and solution exercise a go and hopefully as you begin to go though ad resolve them you'll maybe feel more empowered and heard? I will definitely check back in with you and how you went when I'm back on over the weekend.  ... View more

Yup I do @Saltwaterdreamtime    I'm glad the walk kind of helped and that you're focused on wanting to find solutions for the problems. It sounds like there's a few things going on for you right now?   I've found that sometimes it can be helpful to write out the problem and then to explore all the options you have to try and solve it. Then I like to sleep on it and review it the next day. Not sure if that's helpful at all!   You did seem to implying some concerns related to RO and how we moderate? Which I think if you're upset or confused by anything, maybe a direct email to us would be beneficial? ... View more

Hmmm I'm not sure how to help with that @Saltwaterdreamtime but I think it's awesome that when you were feeling angry, you went for a walk. Did you find it helped at all? ... View more

Well I hope it makes you feel safer @redhead   ... View more

Ohhhh whaaaat! Today sounds so frustrating @Eden1717 but I want to give you props for trying to do some self-care by trying the new strawberry milk. I'm sorry it sucks,  that's so disappointing! Today also sounds super exhausting so no wonder you have a headache, does going to bed sound like a good next move? ... View more

Hey @Saltwaterdreamtime, I can hear you're super frustrated right now and I'm sorry but I'm not sure if you can block someone. Where were you trying to move this post to? I might be able to help you with that?   Also happy to chat with you when you feel ready, maybe after your walk? ... View more

Do you feel this a good thing for you @redhead? ... View more

Hey @Eden1717 I'm so sorry you're feeling so frustrated and angry but this does sound like a very frustrating situation to have to work through and face, so maybe it's a bit justified and a very normal reaction considering what you've been through. Just know we're here to support you, cheer you on and listen when you need    Also thank you for confirming your safety. Now I know suggesting self-care may also be frustrating but is there anything you can do tonight? Even if it's something small?    ... View more

Hi @Bananatime04 apologies we (after hours crew) don't get on until 6pm and I'm thinking the ban may not have worked when they tried earlier, so I'll try again now  ... View more

That's okay @Bananatime04, check it out when you feel up to it  ... View more

We're always here to chat @Bananatime04 but yes sometimes the people we want to chat to can be busy and that's when self-care is really important and making new connections across RO (maybe jumping into some other threads). I have also just seen your other post about losing someone you know, so I'll check in with you further over there.   And when you feel up for it, check out that article and let us know if you found it helpful  ...

When you're in this space @Bananatime04 it can be really important to try and disengage from that self-critical voice in your head. For example try and treat that voice like a friend who is in a bad space and talk back to it like you would a friend - does that make sense?   Something that you might find helpful is this article on self-talk   Also just wanted to clarify what you mean when you day a chat isn't possible? Did you mean on RO or somewhere like KHL? ... View more

Hey @Bananatime04 I'm so sorry you find yourself in this space. Has anything happened today that might have influenced how you're feeling? ... View more

Thank you for confirming your safety @Eden1717. That sounds like a really difficult space to be in and it sounds like it would be quite stressful and exhausting    I'm about to log off for the evening, so please take care tonight and if you can try to do some self-care and we'll check back in with you tomorrow.     ...

I think it's good for you and for her, for you to talk to her about it but yeah I can definitely understand that you might not want to rebuild the relationship with her @annabethxchase. How did you feel things were going before this happened? ... View more

Well I hope now at least that they have a better understanding of what you need; and what the focus should be, that things won't be so difficult for you @litgym    It sounds cliche but just focus on taking it one class at a time and breathing your way through it... I'm sending so many supportive vibes your way      ...

Yesssss @scared01 thank you! You've saved my next report writing day!! ... View more

Ohhhh okay, yes I will definitely look out for those eps @scared01    Is there anything else you're loving tv wise at the moment? I've nearly run out of stuff to watch!  ... View more

The first day back at school can provoke so much anxiety and stress @litgym but it sounds like being able to step back and just focus on attendance rather than grades may be a bit of a relief? And they seem open to you getting the support you need when you feel distressed, so that's got to be a comfort for you?   I can understand that you would be upset about losing your crisis team support, especially if it's people that you care about and have liked. Did they share the reasoning behind it with you? Or could you clarify a bit more with them about the changes? ... View more

Hey @annabethxchase sorry I haven't been able to respond any earlier. All of your feelings are extremely valid and important so I hope you have or will get a chance to chat to your psych about how this has all affected you    I did find an article on RO regarding consent with medical professionals here, which might help with your understanding of things and starting a conversation with your psych? If you're up for that.    Again I'm so sorry you were put in a position were you felt so betrayed and blindsided. Hopefully once you've chatted about things, you'll both be able to rebuild things a bit, with a much clearer understanding moving forward.     ... View more

Oh my god! I haven't had a chance @scared01! I'm hoping to watch a few tomorrow though  Have you got a favourite at the moment? ... View more

It sounds like you might be feeling a bit stuck @skyfireinferno99? And I'm just wondering how we can best support here on the forums? Do you feel like chatting has been helpful? Have you tried out any of the games sections or distractions threads? ... View more

Hey @skyfireinferno99 I'm sorry to hear this weekend has been difficult for you... I know work is one of the best distractions for you. I think we were talking a bit last time about what could be some other techniques you could try out? Have you found anything that's helped a bit?  ... View more

I can understand why you would be upset @annabethxchase, especially when you weren't feeling ready or prepared for it but I'm thinking the only reason your psych would have done that is because they are really (like really) worried about you   I know that doesn't really make it easier right now though. How did you're Mum take it? ... View more

How do you feel about that @annabethxchase? ... View more
