@Appleblossom,

@Appleblossom. I hear you. Somedays you just need to sleep. Sometimes you can't make a meeting. That's okay. You will when you can. And you have a super busy and possibly stressful day tomorrow. So try and be gentle with yourself.
Here for you.

Well hopefully that ‘incident’ didn’t involve someone posing as someone else for their own purposes @Queenie .. that does sound wrong

I would hope not @TAB. It would destroy the safe place we have built here as members.

Sorry you missed your coffee morning @Appleblossom, and Feeling so low lately. Maybe the court stuff is causing a measure of internal conflict & thus exhaustion. And perhaps justWthis imeeof year. We dont have to understand it to get through it - just keep going but take extra rest te. Be kind to yourself sista ❤❤❤

Hi guys,

Just wanted to drop a brief note in here. We know that online communication is already difficult, so it is important to acknowledge that new members can then find it harder to get involved as they get used to the space. A big principle of our community here is inclusiveness and using words like 'newbies' in this way may cause others to feel excluded.

As members who have been around a bit longer, it is useful to all of us, to welcome and support one another at all paths on our journey here together.

We have all been new to something, somewhere at some point in our lives 

If ever you have a question about the forum or want to raise a concern please email team@saneforums.org

Thank you @Queenie @utopia @Former-Member and any who care

Ha ha @TAB Marveer was ma's brand in polish.

Feeling my online fragile space a little invaded. Working on that hole in the dyke.

@outlander Thanks for noticing. Your eye is usually on the ball.

@Queenie 

Yes many people have worked to generate a sense of safety on this forum.  An amazing joint effort at peer support, that I am proud to have been associated with.

The importance of safe spaces

and what that actually means for a diverse community ...

an ongoing process it seems.

Also the questions of who does the work

.... who gets protection....

Cultural baggage or legacies ...

Diagnoses or just states of mind ....

Some tulips for me.

  

How much circumscription of language is appropriate?

Am I really not diplomatic enough?
