Hi everyone 🙂

I hope it’s OK to make a post about myself and not super arrogant

I’ve been off here for a while because I’ve been poorly, but I heard some people were asking after me (which is nice and made me feel happier!!) and I wanted to let anyone who cares know where I am and stuff

I’m still talking to a few people on PMs, it’s just posting where everyone can see / react I’m finding hard. My PM box is always open to everyone, I’m pleased to get a message from anyone!!!! I just don’t have thick enough skin to look on public places at the moment, things trigger me easily and I need to avoid this as I don’t really have any alternative for now

I don’t like using the word “trigger”, it’s an overused word - most of the time it just means someone's offended which happens to everyone and shouldn’t be treated as an issue…However, things set off my condition(s) for hours or days or even weeks at the moment. This is the true meaning of the word, and because of that I’m having to try to minimise my exposure

Hopefully people understand I’m not saying this is a bad forum, I just don’t feel strong enough to expose myself to responses (and so potential criticism from loads of people all at once). I know it’s only a minority that cause upset, and an even smaller minority that do it on purpose!!

Anyway I hope that explains some things and thanks for reading and I hope everyone is doing OK at the moment

PS I have a couple of PMs that I didn’t reply to yet for a while and if any of those people are reading I’m sorry and hope to reply soon

PPS I might not read the replies here but like I said if anyone wants to talk to me I’m more than pleased to and please do PM me!! 😊

@66Mustang nice to hear from you. I was thinking of you the last few days, I was in the car with one of my sons and we were behind your car, my son said the new minis look good. Instantly made me think of you .

@66Mustang
I just wanted to say hello although I’ve been speaking to you through PM I just want to say your missed loads on here and your friends are waiting for you when you do come back.
Be kind to yourself.

Take care ❤️

Oh, so lovely to hear from you in any shape or form. You certainly are missed on the forum, & I'm so sorry to read you've been poorly. Please don't worry about replying to PMs, just so long as you're 'sort of' OK, & it really is great to hear from you.

How lovely to see a thread from you. Although I don't know you that well, I had been wondering where you were and was hoping you were "sort of" ok. I did ask where you were some weeks ago and @Lou67 kindly informed me that you were taking a break.

Just post when you're ready, there's no rush.

Always great to hear from you @66Mustang! 🙂 I'm glad to hear that you're safe, I almost wanted to say "okay" but it does sound like you maybe aren't at okay just yet. And that is… okay! I think many of us have probably been in a similar situation at times in our lives. I certainly have. You know you can always reach out, to me or the team as a whole. If there is also anything we can do to help just let us know.

Great to hear from you @66Mustang! Sorry you've not been feeling good. I hope you start to feel better soon and feel able to come back on and post more. Take your time though, we're not going anywhere 😊

So glad you are okay, I've been asking about you a few times as was worried. But Lou filled me in and let me know you were okay and just taking a break.

Take all the time you need, we all will be here for you when you are ready to fully come back to the forum, hope you start feeling better soon and look after yourself.

All the best and take care.
