I just want to say thanks to those i had a chance to interact with: you are kind, sincere, smart and outspoken for what you stand and fight for. You are rare as I can only count on one hand among thousands of members in this community so keep being you and keep up your good work! 👍
There are too much negative, bickering, favorable insignificant contents here. Just the same venting posts repeatedly with generic replies. I see people making posts bitterly leaving/not leaving the site?! Banned member issue coming back, bullying and combative all in one place…, so much safety concern in here.
This site seems to have administrators/moderators overlook Christian proselytizing as I see in many past posts and that triggers my religious trauma. I gave myself 3 days to experience and I don’t think I can truly get the support I need so it’s time for me to leave because it’s not a good fit for my mental health needs.
Time is valuable, life is precious… Best Wishes.😊xx
I can't see your name so I don't know who you are, but it seems a shame to leave because of this. I hope you will reconsider and maybe just take a short break instead.
I agree with you as this isn't a specifically a Christian site and is equally open to those of different religions, agnostics, and atheists. Preaching is not allowed and admin take them down when they are reported. I wonder if anyone if even admining the site half the time as they are often up for a day or so.
One of the things which triggers me is swearing, especially the F word. That too is not allowed but still seems to be able to stay up for a long time too. A few people still consistently do it which puts me off using the site too.
All the best to you and I hope you find what you are looking for. Take care.
Yes. I don't think admin are here much as this type of thing keeps happening. There is one person specially who uses the F word several times in nearly every post. Yuck, Others are seeing this and clearly thinks it's ok and copying.
Obscene language is specifically forbidden in the rules of all sites here and by HU themselves.
Exactly and the C word too! I looked on the guidelines and they have removed that specific rule too🤷♀️ Yes it’s mentioned somewhere but not as specific. As you well know there have always been flare ups on here about whatever, par for the course really but just recently it has been a bit OTT.
Wishing you all the very best in your life. Life is precious and sadly oh far too short! You make decisions that are right for you and your mental health and well being. Sending prayers hugs and love your way. 🙏🏻🍀❤️😘xx
I agree. A while ago we had another community for those who were feeling down particularly, (but not exclusively) about Covid.
It was a great site, It had a couple of trolls, and they closed the whole site down, despite protests from many of the members.
The Admins kept a close eye on the place, but I think (don't know) the toll may have been too much for the Admins.
I and a few others volunteered our services, but unsuccessfully. It's a shame, because Admins here don't seem to want to apply the general HU rules, about no proselytising and no politics.
Hi Norw, It was a site which was known as PWB (Positive Well Being), which worked in a similar way to this one. We lost a lot of very good members when it went.
There really has been a lot of change on this site and I'm not sure I will stay either. It used to be supportive but not so much anymore. There is someone from this site I am now in touch with outside of here and she feels the same way. I think she is also leaving. Too much religiosity(some of it 'my way or the highway'), not respecting others beliefs ; too much swearing(I am no prude) and just too much crap. Also too much of people telling others what to do instead of 'well this worked for me, maybe you can try it or talk to your doctor about it'. Yes, I have about had it with this site. It's a shame. It's really gone downhill......
