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 believe someone on MN may have contact details for her, as on a previous thread it was suggested we ' converse ' elsewhere.
I understand from her following reply on that thread that she was aware of this ? but understood some of ' our ' concerns re this idea.
So I guess it didn't go ahead ?
I did get the impression that the poster had been on touch with BB, tho of course it could have been via personal message ?

and of course that thread has gone.

I cannot remember who it was, therefore I don't know if she is on this thread...

Of course I may just be grasping at straws, but it has been a long time since BB was on this thread.

Another person hoping you are OK.

@Rainbows41 is mumsnet not able to email her registered email address just to make sure she is ok???? that last post she made was really worrying!

TheFormidableMrsC · 21/08/2025 21:48

I’ve noticed she asked for her last post to be removed. I’m not sure there’s anything anybody can do at this stage. I am concerned her H has discovered her threads, maybe that is what she’s fearing too. Let’s hope she’s escaped or trying to and we hear from her when she’s able. Poor girl.

OlderGlaswegianLivingInDevon · 21/08/2025 21:48

I guess there is the possibility that dh has access to her emails / her mobile and any other way she has of making contact outside of the home.

which could make matters worse.

but yes it is really worrying

Don't refer to that tool as "dh"!!! Nothing "D" about him, unless it stands for dickhead.

Is MNHQ able to do a welfare check?

goodThingGonewrong · 22/08/2025 07:16

i am so glad you are ok-ish. Have you gone to see your gp? Now would be a good time to go, you must feel weak and so so tired. It took me years to leave my ExH so don’t worry about not moving forward quickly, priority is get better soon and know many women on this thread are behind you x

ThePoshUns · 22/08/2025 08:45

@bananabeauglad that you’re ok -ish. You don’t owe us explanations but we are here for you if you need to offload or want support.

WearyAuldWumman · 22/08/2025 08:46

As PP has said, no explanations are owed. Sending hugs.

Eddielizzard · 22/08/2025 08:50

Thank god Banana. Take care of yourself, and know that we here care.

If you didn't manage to get away this time, we're still here for you.

Don't give up, bide your time, try and do little kindnesses for yourself each day.

MeMeMeMeOw · 22/08/2025 09:41

Banana you had shingles. I was at the doctor yesterday and overheard a conversation with someone who is still suffering over three months after catching it. Please take care of yourself. 🍌

ClimbEveryLadder · 22/08/2025 09:47

So sorry things are so difficult, give yourself time to recover from shingles the impact continues after the outward signs have cleared

Blank1234 · 22/08/2025 09:49

Where does banana say she’s had shingles? 😵‍💫

Redshoeblueshoe · 22/08/2025 09:58

It was on her previous thread. I had it at the same time, so end of July

Ah ok, that makes sense then .. only iykyk 😆
I didn’t see her previous thread, but have the gist of it from here. Wishing her every ounce of strength, hope, good luck and fortune x

MyOtherProfile · 22/08/2025 10:27

Good to hear from you @bananabeau

OlderGlaswegianLivingInDevon · 22/08/2025 11:18

@bananabeau

' we ' are just all so relieved you are ' ok '

you don't have to say or explain anything

even just a full stop on a reply will work as a reply.

Seymour5 · 22/08/2025 13:14

All of the above. Sending positive vibes.

Ilikegreen · 22/08/2025 13:36

Sending hugs. I had really bad shingles two years ago and it took me months to recover energy. Take care of yourself.

CoffeeBeansGalore · 22/08/2025 15:12

@bananabeau Thank you for coming back. Take care of yourself. Your cheerleaders are here for you 💐

Gymnopediegivesmethewillies · 22/08/2025 18:06

Hi @bananabeau , I’m glad you responded but I’m sorry you are still feeling ill. I’m not really surprised. Stress does terrible things to the body and getting ill on top has probably knocked you for six.

Is your manager still being supportive? Do they know what is going on at home? I think so many of us are worried because you sound so isolated. Sending love and strength.
