Depression anxiety

What is giving me a kudo ? @tyme

Kudo? Praise? @Lula

I’ve only ever heard of kudos, but never in situations like a mental health forum 🙂

Hi @Lula 

Don't worry about the typo... to be honest I never noticed.  My brain probably autocorrected as it read.

I saw my psych on yesterday, and came out feeling the same way.  I'm trying a new one next week, but I haven't had much luck with them so far.  Hopefully you're feeling better as the weekend goes on.  If not, then let us know and hopefully you can feel better.

So if someone support your post, it means the clicked the little 'thumbs up' button in the bottom left of your post... just above the reply button.  Generally it means someone likes your post or agrees with what you've said.  It's just a quick way to say you liked a post without actually replying.

If doing okay this week Lula.  It's been a better week for me compared to recent ones.  I had a few things during the week so It kept me busy and around other people more than normal so that generally improved my mood.  Plus the excitement of being interviewed for an article in the local newspaper was a new experience so that helped.  Now of course, I've told people I'm going to be in the paper and it hasn't been published so far so I'm starting to get anxious about it.

Take care and chat to you later.

Hello M and I wonder if you are there now.  Thanks for your message. I wish you all the best about your newspaper interview, I wish I could see it 😉 .
I have been very quiet today - in bed till about 10 and since then not much else but on internet investigating different things, incl how to help myself. Found a link to tapping which I had known about a long time ago. Was feeling pretty ok. And then I got an email saying you replied to my message so I tried to logon to the sane website and several times it kept going back to the message “sorry, some has gone wrong” again so I tried several times, clearing history/cookies, turning the whole thing off three times and started again but the same thing kept happening. Finally I got on but that whole thing sent me right down again and I feel so shaky and awful which is so hard to cope with.

can all this be to do with an iPad ?

Hey @Lula ,

I use an iPad too. I don’t have those issues. I wonder what else it could be?

@tyme 

I’ve no idea tyme, but it’s very frustrating and upsetting. If I knew how I would surely fix it.

I’m going to do other things for a while, but when I come back to the screen the page will probably be shut down, again, and I have to go thru all that again to get back in 😫 I really, REALLY don’t need this. The only thing I can think of is that I have an ad blocker app going

Hi @Lula.

If the article ever gets published, (it wasn't in today's paper) maybe I can upload a photo of it... hiding any identifying info.

I haven't heard of tapping.  What is it?

I havent had any issues logging in here but I mainly use my PC.  I have an adblocker on that so I dont think that would be an issue.  I know they're currently rolling out some updates to the forums, so maybe it was something to do with that??  I'm not sure if these updates are still happening.

Imusing my phone to reply now, and i do occasionally have an issue where I have to relogin, but thats, just an inconvenience, except when I forget my password... which has happened a couple of times.  The fact that the message said "something has gone wrong" makes me think it was a problem on the website end rather than your end.  It definitely wasnt down to you doing something wrong to get an error message like that, orherwise the error message would be telling you what you did wrong, like entering a wrong password for example. Hopefully it was just a glitch and these issues dont happen again for you.  I know it can be very frustrating for you, so fingers crossed its all fixed now and you can access the forum without issues.  If it does keep happening, definitely try to let us know and we can follow it up.

It sound like you did all the right things to troubleshoot the problem, so I really think it was just an issue on the website end.  Maybe other people had issues logging on at the same time.  I dont think it would be an iPad specific issue with so many people using them.  Do you have another device you could try logging on with if the problem happens again?  These things happen to everyone on the internet so try not to worry too much until it keeps happening over and over again.  Like I said, you did everything to fix it that I would have done and everytime ive seen an error  message like that on a website, its been an temporary outage or web maintenence issue  so ive just had to wait for ir to resolve itself.  So please dont feel too bad or stressed about it, it happens to us all.

@MJG017 
I’ll look forward to maybe seeing the newspaper article about you minus any ID 😍. Thank you in anticipation M

About tapping - I’m attaching a few links for you to look at. Give it a try M.  I have this afternoon and think I have felt a bit of a shift in myself. Time will tell.  (I did also see my psychologist yesterday).  I was doing a bit of exploring online today and came across it - I did know about it before years ago and it got lost in my mind, in everything that is life.

Bye for now M 🤗

@Lula 

Don't get disappointed if I can't provide a clipping if the article doesn't get published.  I've told quite a few people about it, all of who are going to be disappointed in the article make it in the paper... including me.

Thanks for the links, i'll take a look after I've finished this.  I had a quick look and i've never tried acupuncture because I don't like needles so maybe this is worth a shot.

Take care.
