I hope @SteelA1 gets the professional support he needs. everyone here will be giving him support as well. We look forward to your future posts and more on your blog @KinkyMira

I hope the move went well and you’re not too exhausted @KinkyMira? :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: How’s the new place?

I felt exactly the same @SteelA1, but it is what they are there for so don’t be afraid to use it. I had a chat to someone who volunteers for them and she said that she talks to some people every day, they just phone to check in and talk through their day because it helps. She told me that I should never feel like a waste of time. You don’t have to be at crisis point to phone them, yes they can help when you are, but they would much rather help you before it gets to that point. I will never let myself get to that point again before phoning, now that I’ve done it once I feel more confident doing it again. Just give them a quick call and get some support xx sending hugs :hugs:

@SteelA1 I wish I could offer more than a virtual hug and support.

I echo others on the forum with saying please speak to someone before you break. I understand it’s daunting and that you don’t want to feel like you’re a burden, but you’re really not. These people volunteer to be there.

Try and flip it around, what would your advice be for any one of us going through what you are?

You are the most valuable asset you have so please look after yourself, however you need to :heart:

@KinkyMira hope the move went wel!

Thanks everyone for the good wishes about the move. My body is totally broken (as to be expected), but we are out and in temporary accommodation.
The move out took us much longer than expected, but the movers were brilliant and worked as late as was necessary to get everything into storage. We got the keys back, and came up to North Yorkshire, where we are in an AirBNB. Firstly, for us to recover physically, and then for us to work out where we want to move to. My husband has a few trips back down south to do, and Vicki will be all over the place as usual, so normal life will be resumed next week. But for now, rest, sleep and a bit of sex. Not had enough of that over the last couple of weeks.
Toughest part is getting my head round the fact our old place isn’t ours any more. Feels like we are on holiday at the moment, but this is anything but. Strange, but exciting too.

Good luck @KinkyMira I am sure you will find just what you are looking for. Enjoy your short break and try to relax allowing your body to recover. A little sex will certainly not be bad either and will aid recovery for everyone.

I’m not sure what just happened but the threads that were in the rant thread have been moved to another thread, when I click on it, the thread says it doesn’t exist or is private. The notification from Brenna that my posts have been moved has disappeared too. I can understand why they have moved - I assume for privacy, triggering others, safety etc but I’m not sure why I have been blocked from seeing them. I’m sorry if I’ve been unhelpful or done something wrong or maybe this is just a discussion that is between selected members of the forum but it would be nice to know what’s happened.

Don’t worry, you’ve not been excluded. :slightly_smiling_face: I think Brenna has accidentally slipped it into a category that only she can see.

Thanks @Ian_Chimp, I just wanted to know that I hadn’t done something awful! Hopefully it’ll get sorted soon then

Oh, you’ve definitely done something awful, I’m sure of it. Just nothing to do with this. :slightly_smiling_face:

I wondered the same thing @Kitty-Cat01

Yeah, that very active thread just disappeared all of a sudden… :confused:

Hang on… given what we know about a certain member’s husband, I guess it’s possible that said member asked for her posts to be hidden quickly, for her own safety…maybe?

I think it went into an old “support (trigger warning) thread” but for some reason it disappeared as soon as it appeared!

I know I prompted that maybe it should be members only (for the exact reasons you mention) but like Mr Chimp suggested, the lovely Brenna may have accidentally popped it into a category only she can see!

Maybe a quick shout-out to @Lovehoney_Brenna to clear this one up?

Ah, ok. That’s not ideal. Is there any way of creating a new closed thread for use until tomorrow morning?

I’m sure you didn’t @Justthe2ofus2007, the thread did exist for a short time but I think Brenna must have changed the privacy settings of the group so that it disappeared!

You need to get out of the habit of blaming yourself for things. :slightly_smiling_face: No-one has had a telling off, and I think this is just a snafu. x

You didn’t hun, think it was me! Asked for it to be made members only to make it a bit more secure and it’s vanished :woman_facepalming:t2:

I second @Ian_Chimp - don’t blame yourself beautiful!

You haven’t caused a telling off, we just think Brenna made it members only for your protection, and inadvertently hid it :slightly_smiling_face:

Nope, no being sorry! :wink: you’ve not done anything to be sorry for!
