I'm so sorry to see your post has been removed. You will be missed.
I refreshed my app daily in the hopes of seeing positive updates from you, and I'm sad you felt you needed to remove your post altogether.
I wish you well in your future and I sincerely hope you can fulfill your dreams.

You deserve to be happy.

I was busy all afternoon/evening and can see she updated but no idea what it was!

I hope all is well, you are getting stronger both physically as well as getting your ducks in a row!

Same here.

I too hope all is well and she is happy

TheFormidableMrsC · 03/07/2025 21:06

I just noticed too. So I’ll add there that I wish you well @bananabeauand I hope you find the life you deserve. Hopefully you’ll come back and tell us one day! 💐

Billybagpuss · 03/07/2025 21:09

It looks like it got quite frenzied as there were a lot of posts prior to deleting I hope you’re ok.

this thread will be deleted as a taat eventually

the band sounds familiar but I cannot place the post.

goodThingGonewrong · 04/07/2025 11:15

Meant the name!

I hope she finds this post and knows people are still rooting for her to regain her self worth and respect to be able to move forward with her life. She went through such an emotional journey of realisation. With her recent health, she is bound to be feeling quite low right now, but obviously this will pass.
It is important she has somewhere to turn to for encouragement, when she needs it.

I hope anyone who adds to this thread is mindful of mentioning anything that relates back to previous posts by bananabeau. So, any specific details of what she went through and with whom, those comments will be deleted.
I am creating a safe space for her. Should she wish to comment and give us an update on her progress then I want her to be assured that mums the word.

There is nothing negative here. Only positivity and assurance.
As this is a thread of positivity for bananabeau, unfortunately anyone seen not sticking to this will be reported.

@bananabeau I wish you the very best in whatever you decide to do. I hope you are feeling better.

ThisIsMyYearToFindMyself · 05/07/2025 06:46

Well since she chose to have her posts deleted is this not a bit…intense?

It must have been awful to realise how she was perceived, but there are similar and much worse tales here everyday of things people go through.

I mean, I wish her all the best. But I wish most people here all the best.

B2T · 05/07/2025 07:35

So glad you started this thread as I want to wish @bananabeau good luck in the future too.

bananabeau · 05/07/2025 08:11

@Rainbows41 thanks for starting the thread and letting me know you are thinking of me.

you and many others were a great support during the past few weeks and I appreciate it more than you know. I don’t find it in any way intense.

I am doing ok, a lot has happened. I’m just trying to process everything.

Billybagpuss · 05/07/2025 08:15

Thank you for posting @bananabeau im pleased you’re doing ok and hopefully all the stuff that has happened is all moving in the positive direction for you.

I do hope you’ve managed to think about gym swim. Especially open water swimming 🏊 it’s the best place to offload your problems there’s something about the colder water that completely shuts up all the superfluous noise in your head that I bet has been having a massive party over the last couple of weeks.

bananabeau · 05/07/2025 08:18

Haven’t managed the gym yet. We have had another loss in “the family” so life has been taken over by that.

It’s been a lot. I have stood up for myself though. It’s not as it was last time

Billybagpuss · 05/07/2025 08:28

Oh no I’m so sorry to hear that. 💐

I bet that’s been so difficult to navigate for you.

bananabeau · 05/07/2025 08:31

@Billybagpuss yeah it’s been hard as I still don’t want to be here. But timing is way off.

the bonus is though I can stand up for myself, as I don’t care about him not being happy with me. I’ve done a lot of it the past few days “this is what I need to happen” “if this doesn’t happen I need to step away”

he’s seen the shift and seems to be agreeing with every demand I make. Still won’t make a difference on the outcome though

Fernticket · 05/07/2025 08:33

Take care @bananabeau . Wishing you all the best for the future.

Redshoeblueshoe · 05/07/2025 08:34

Good luck, stay strong. You have been brave ❤

Another poster here thinking of you and hoping things will soon be much better

Good luck @bananabeau . Keep going towards a better life.

goodThingGonewrong · 05/07/2025 10:24

i remember this post now due to the reference to the swimming. @bananabeau it sounds like you are making positive changes to your life. Life’s ups and downs may sometimes put the brakes on things as life happens but never stop even if you have to slow down or take a pause x

bananabeau · 08/07/2025 07:12

Morning ladies 🩷

How r u all? I’m back at work, health is doing better. Still a lot going on here. Finding I’ve hit a bit of a low point. But pushing through.

Maybe need a bit of a push to get my fight back x

MyOtherProfile · 08/07/2025 07:14

Good to hear from you. Keep going. You've come such a long way.
