As I doubt anyone will notice but now one of the founders of this site which some will know as Donver sadly has left Living with Anxiety all together & no she was not banned it was her choice which I totally understand her reasons but I think it would be very selfish if it was not recognised ALL the hard work , support & kindness she showed everyone on the Anxiety sites on HU
No doubt she will soon be forgotten for most using the site which is very sad as she did help create Living with Anxiety as a community !!!
Love

Oh Bev that's a shame yes Donver and yourself put such a lot of time and hard work into creating Living with Anxiety. I think the site has really gone down although it was a site for people with anxiety it was a happy site but not anymore. Such a shame
Wishing Donver all the happiness in the future.

Hi Bev
Just noticed we have lost a volunteer.

Just noticed you are not saying whywhy
Yes you have lost Pink as well as a vol but she is still a member
I am seriously considering now that this maybe the best thing for me to
This actually makes me sad and angry. Yes i totally get that you both feel let down and that sucks, but i cant help feeling that by the way things have been worded that the recognition of that hard work means more than staying around and helping those here who need that help does.
Before you make a judgement let me tell you there is a lot more history to all this & shall we say this is just the icing on the cake
To say to much would serve no purpose but to anyone that has got to know myself & Donver will know that this goes a lot deeper & not just done on a whim so please don't judge as I can tell you for nearly 2 years I have given more to helping others on here than maybe my own family at times , so I have certainly as well as Donver given more than I have ever taken !!!
whywhy, donver, and pinkcookie were all ordinary members on a healthunlocked site, run by a charity, that was closed down.
This left members of that site, still with anxiety, with nowhere to go for support, information and friendship.
Why why and Dover too were asked to take on the site as admin, which they did. things moved on and then they created this site and pinkcookie took up a volunteer role.
This is all done voluntary, no wages, and takes up a lot of their own time and energy.
Recently, something occurred which required the back-up and support of healthunlocked, which why why has said did not happen.
This leaves the admin in an untenable position as their authority has been lost.
They must feel devastated as it has grown into a great group.
Im not wishing to cause an argument here at all but setting aside the hu website people i see there has been a lot of thanks and recognition to them for their work and help from the people who matter. The people who use this site. I dont know the full story thats true but what i do see is what i spoke of . Anyway shutting up now. Take care.
You miss understand me. Not once have i said that they didnt work hard nor that that work wasnt appreciated. If they feel they( and you )cant stay that is of course your choice no questions.
Thank you whywhy for informing us that Donver has left the Site of her own accord! This is such a sad state of affairs but completely understand both of your decisions to leave! Also just seen that Pink had stepped down as a Volunteer! I support you 100%!!
None of you will ever be forgotten, not by me in any case. As you all helped me immensely in your own unique way!
I would just like to wish you & Donver all the very best for your future (as I believe Pink is staying but not a a Volunteer, of course I wish her well too!).
I would just like to take this opportunity to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the care, kindness, empathy & help you in particular showed towards me, you have helped me more than you will ever know!
Every blessing to the both of you for your future, may you find health, happiness & peace of mind.
Oh no that's not good I just want to say I haven't been here long but Thankyou both for the help it's was lovely having people that underStand! I wish donver all the very best

Hi Bev,
You have all done the right thing, it is of no use to try and run a community without backing from the Management, I don't think this site will survive anymore, which is sad, you will all be sadly missed, but sending you love and light.
Very sad but not really a shock, why why and donver have been a force, helping us lot with our anxiety while suffering some serious issues themselves.. really sad to see them go . Would like to wish you both the best of health and to thank you so much for your support. With out you guys things could have been a lot different... Take care both xx
