For being upset about having my thread moved ..?

[Dyingtobefree]

I posted earlier in this thread about the fact I'm really struggling.

I posted it here because I knew more people would see it and therefore maybe be able to help. But my thread was moved to the Mental Health section where it doesn't get seen as not so many people go over there ....plus it wasn't a mental health thing per se, it was more generalised life situation.

So it's kinda confirmed my feelings of being worthless by being put somewhere where no one will see or offer suggestions.

No. Lots of people post stuff which are not really AIBUs. Do you want to link to the thread to save having two threads of suggestions?

Mine got deleted entirely without so much as a heads up from MNHQ.

I'm sorry this happened. Kindly, the thread wasn't moved maliciously or to hide you away. MNHQ probably thought you'd get more helpful responses.

"Traffic" isn't always helpful. Sometimes you're better off having few high quality replies than dozens of unhelpful or even spiteful ones.

I have no idea what your thread is, I’ll go and look. But I’d assume that MN might be likely to do this as a protective measure if they thought there was a chance that you could get some unkind replies on AIBU that might upset you.

Although it might be hard to see it, it’s probably the exact opposite of your feelings of being worthless. You are not worthless. Your feelings matter and are worth protecting from some of the internet crazies that can turn up on AIBU.

Kindly, I really don't think you're going to get what you want from the thread. I did read it originally when it was on this board and I did think you seem to rely a lot on other people's input for your self worth. This will never help you to achieve long term recovery and stability for your mental health. You really need to continue with the therapy and work on caring for yourself and becoming stronger so that you and you alone influence your worth and nobody elsem

AIBU can be a very unkind place, with some awful replies amongst the more helpful ones. If someone is struggling, it isn't the greatest place to post. MNHQ took a thread down yesterday because a minority were being unpleasant towards a vulnerable pregnant women. I think the intention is to be helpful.

When l was at rock bottom it taught me nobody else was coming to save me, you have to help yourself. l committed to work on my mental, emotional and physical health. It took time and loads of different resources, thankgod for the free information on the internet and l read lots and lots of books and listened to a huge variety of speakers.
It changed my mindset and took me to a whole new level. looking back l am grateful now and l never in a million years thought l would ever say that about the worst season of my life, l am grateful for what it taught me and the woman l grown into. l would never have the knowledge l do now if my life had been safe and comfortable at that time. Sometimes life forces you to change, but we fight to hold on and we fight to let go of what feels familiar, even if its not in our best interest. We are never aware of the bigger picture until we look back. Its scary going through a stage of transition but it is so worth it.
Mooji on youtube does some very calm and peaceful meditations, he has a beautiful voice and way of expressing himself, l lay in bed with my ear phones on and he is very good at quieting the mind.

I was going to say this. If you’re struggling the last thing you need is the brutal home truths of AIBU! Some people don’t seem to care how their replies will impact the OP, just think themselves very clever and witty for a short sharp YABU reply, so moving it will get you better replies - most likely from people with experience of mental health issues.
