Popular Post Melissa Louise Posted January 8, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 8, 2021 Not to be grand, or because I want to, but b/c it came up on another thread, and now it has, it's better to be open and give other posters the opportunity to block/ignore/respond as they wish. Long time poster (Stella). Asked Rosie to ban me last year. Mental health crisis/suicidality 2019/early 2020. Continuing treatment, formal separation from ex, doing better. Missed this place, came back recently using my real name in a new account to dip my toe in and see if I could be a healthier participant. Going ok so far. Would like to continue avoiding political/controversial topics and participate in movement, mental health and books/writing threads. There is zero need to respond to this post. It's a heads up for others, as being anon was likely to end up causing more drama than being open. Thanks. Best to all. 76 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Separately, a sincere apology for my contribution on some threads dealing with racial issues before I took a break. Unwell or not, it's crappy behaviour to post ignorantly and to project family tensions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unwell or not, it's crappy behaviour to post ignorantly and to project family tensions. No need!! Believe it or not, I have the attention span of a gnat. I missed you and I’m glad you’re feeling better. Also, I apologize if you felt personally attacked by me. That wasn’t my intent. I recognized that you were struggling and I should have left it alone. ☺️ Edited January 8, 2021 by Sneezyone 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
