I'm not sure if you're meant to respond either - maybe just reply to the moderator by email? @Lee71
Maggie is a really lovely person. Having her sit with us is a treat. Yes, true, @Maggie !

Hey @Lee71, it sounds like you feel supported when people sit with you. It helps to feel connected when we're struggling, so I'm glad you can get some peer support and connection here 😊
I'm sorry if it didn't completely make sense for you when the moderator to jump in earlier. I believe they were concerned when you mentioned dark thoughts, and things being worse than usual, and wanted to remind you of the support helplines. We'll trust you to use helplines when you need them for safety, or to talk in the moment about how you're feeling, but it sounds like you are managing and needing some peer connection for the moment.
Take care 🌻

@Former-Member
Thanks for clarifying. And yes I am having very dark thoughts today, and today is the most difficult I've had in weeks.
I do know how to contact the helplines, and I've done so twice in the past 7 days. It's been months since I've had to do that.
