I will miss you all!

[itssuchashame]

Sorry it's not a AIBU as such, but this is one of the only boards I read so applicable to the readers here. Really sad, but I have come to realise I need to quit mumsnet :(

I have been an anxiety sufferer for many years. There have been some amazing threads here to lift my spirits at times.

Some recently have been medical without me realising from the title sadly and much of my anxiety is health related, I can see a comment and think oh no I have that and then be thinking the worst. I know I'm an idiot, I am trying to change that, please don't slate me :(

So I suppose I need to come away :(

But thank you to all of the posters for the LOL posts, and for the lighthearted chat posts that have filled my insomnia nights at times, and I wish all of you the very best in your lives - I will miss you!

Given that someone already said excellent flouncing and many on here - including myself cos I am also an arse - use advanced search on here and OP is anxious, I don't blame her for being paranoid.
Good on you for taking time out OP - I always feel like MN is the mafia, once I thought I was out so admire the willpower of others. Longest I went without was ten days . Take care

@Whynosnowyet your puppy is so cute.

Feel free to pm me op. . My life has been far from hearts and flowers. Never judgement from me.
Always here for a virtual or irl if you are near...

Good luck Op! I hope you feel better soon.

@WorraLiberty there have been so many threads recently where people have diff into the OP’s history and used it to criticise them. It seems to be becoming more common to do that.

Dug, not diff

Ta ta for now, take care and be good to yourself

Sorry that wasn't what I meant. I know people use AS but I meant why would they use it on a thread like this? The OP's not going to use MN anymore, that's all.

Wishing you well, OP.

Good luck OP! Sorry to see you go, hope you return feeling better!

They do though WorraLiberty, I hadn't mentioned a name change initially someone said I had name changed, so they must have searched to discover that.
Thanks everyone for being lovely, this is why I will miss you all

Aw, you have to think of your health, I hope it improves or stabilises so you can come back, it sounds like you don't want to go.
Good luck

Thank you @Drabarni , you are right, I don't want to go, I have seen many great things here that kept me going through many tough nights.

I have tried to avoid health type threads particularly but some titles don't always match up to what I am expecting and get me in a bit of a tizz come the end :( It's a shame but for my and my familys sake I think it's time

If your MH is so precarious that anonymous people who are posting on other threads can affect you (and your family!) then you definitely need some help to cope with this. Put the phone down and go out and experience all the good life can give.

I'm sorry to see you go, too! People online can be horrible. For me, MN is an oasis of sanity - mostly - and I ignore the few idiots on here. Hope you feel better soon. Take care of yourself.

Ah well done for taking some positive action for yourself. I have been off all social media apart from this one for 3 years for exactly the same reasons as you and although I don't have my finger on the pulse anymore, I am much more relaxed and 'me' and life is quieter!

This one works for me as it's anonymous - I've been here for 10 years but using lots of name changes.

You do you and all the best.

well done on taking the right steps for you

it doesn't mean you can come back, and there are a lot of other forums that can keep you entertained, where you can get help, support and not feel isolated.
