I was helping out as a moderator on a mental health group on Facebook.

Hi everyone I was a volunteer moderator on an FB MH support group, but on Friday I had to message the owner, who is really nice, to let her know that I had to step down as moderator on the group as too many people were telling me to do something else whilst I was in the middle of doing something else already.

I also had trouble with finding infographics for group awareness days, which weren't blurry (another lady helped me to sort that problem out) when I shared them to ask someone to chech them for me before I scheduled them to be posted.

I know that I was doing the right thing for me as I was getting very overwhelmed and everything I was doing for the group was getting on top of me as well as my own mental health is not good as I was diagnosed with postnatal depression when my daughter was about 2 months old, she's 22 years old now.

I was diagnosed with clinical depression and anxiety after my daughter was forcibly adopted when she was between 6 months old and 8 months old.

I have recently been diagnosed with severe obstructive sleep apnea.

I have a few other medical conditions too.

You have done the right thing by stepping down.

If you are struggling with things, you can't really help others effectively, too much risk of a mistake, which would make you feel worse.

Don't berate yourself; concentrate on getting well first.

Cheers, Midori
