The it’s ok to not be ok thread

Moved some stuff around and got in before work, pep talk worked wonders @Prehab26

 

The fact that this lad posted this only to leave this place for twitter having been told to stop expressing his feelings is an absolute tragedy.

Be nice to each other. Failing that, just be respectful of each other. You never know who is on the other side of the internet and you don't know how you're affecting them.

 

Yes lad!!! New thread open to you now.

Get it done.

 

Feels like a weight has been lifted, no pun intended, I struggle with body dysmorphia but never really bother talking about it, mad how much some words on a screen have made a difference, thank you again, appreciate it

 

Mate, DMS always open. Any time.

 

Appreciate it mate

 

Well done lads.

 

Too true.

And hey SA, haway back on man!

 

I've been chewing about RTG. As you know I've left due to Hetty taking over all my jobs on there and I feel pushed out. It's weird but it kind of feels like a loss that I'm grieving if that makes sense. The loss of a support network has been hard to take and the loss of my volunteering on the mental health thread hurts as I put a lot into doing extra training and qualifications to help people.

 

I understand that but look on the bright side, you’ve gained some qualifications out of it that you can now use and put to good use, wherever you go.

I’m sure there’s plenty of people on this thread would appreciate any help that you can offer.

Evidently there’s also a lot of people on this thread would be willing to give support back.

 

I felt the same when I decided to quit RTG. Admittedly I wasn’t anywhere near as involved on that board as you were. I went back a couple of times under different guises (TPFKAEJK and The Krankie Returns) but it got to a point where I felt it wasn’t worth it. I’m very open about my job. I’m quite proud of what I do for a living. But there is a minority on there who are clearly anti-police. I got fed up of reading their posts. Then, as you’ve already mentioned ‘Hetty’ or Hettonlass as he/she/they were known. Very much protected and very much the de-facto person in charge there. You can’t compete with that.
You’re better off here. Quieter but nicer I think.
