I don't feel like myself today. I haven't seen this woman in years, but the lines of her face are so familiar to me. It was a surprise visit this time. I thought she was just popping in for brunch, but I'm worried she's here to stay for a while. She never makes her plans known. If I had known she were on her way id have prepared better. Why is she here? I don't remember calling her. She's armed with daggers too. I feel i need to tip-toe around her. she is smothering. I hope she is gone tomorrow.

I'm absolutely sick and tired of being kicked out of online social spaces.

Hell: just being here is putting me on edge that somebody's going to read some perceived transgression from what I write and result in me getting the shaft AGAIN. It's happened so often in the last few years that it's become something of a sick joke. I follow rules to the best of my ability, but the SECOND I slip up on something, I'm gone. It's especially painful because I often don't KNOW what I did wrong, and without access to such information as it's usually only kept within the spaces, I can't learn from what mistakes I make. Interacting with people is a minefield for me, and I utterly despise it.And no: I'm NOT going to explain my case because it's only going to be weaponised and lead to history repeating itself. If I go in without that baggage, I have nothing to draw upon. If I go in with it, everyone catches its scent. There's no winning in a situation like that.

hi. I’m an enby genderfluid trans mtf (21) who’s not on HRT nor out yet due to family issues. I use she/her + they/them pronouns, either is applicable. I do have a preferred name that I use, but for privacy reasons I’d rather it remains anonymous to prevent my ex from cyberstalking me. I don’t have any social media presence outside of discord, before you ask. I will mention: I do have struggles finding LGBTQ+ communities due to my area not having much, and I can’t legally drive anywhere yet (see my condition down below). And yes, like a majority of Gen Z: I’m just another unemployed gamer online. I do have a physical disability that mildly affects my left side—cerebral palsy, but it doesn’t affect me too badly, I’m functioning just fine, as is.- though I will also mention: I have been through a near death experience once, and my perception on time is a bit…well, it did give me a existential crisis, and a derealisation episode afterwards, but I rarely have those thoughts anymore, unless I choose to remember it.However when I’m not gaming, I actually do digital art related stuff as a way to keep myself busy, and productive to an extent. My artwork is not public, as it’s only visible to close friends. I’m also heavily creative brained over logic, so I can help people in certain art spaces (if requested).Now education and academically wise; I have graduated high school (year 12) and gone to tafe.- side note: i haven’t been in education since 2023, i dropped out of tafe because the course i took made me realise i don’t really want to pursue it any further, I wasn’t having a good time on campus and the experience I had was mentally exhausting to the point i quit. so uh. yeah. that’s my introduction I guess. idk how to end this…so um, thanks for reading ❤️

We should have a category specially for neurodivergent folk (if one doesn't already exist, that is).

We have them for young people, LGBT, multiculturalism... how come neurodivergence isn't there? That comes with probably the greatest set of challenges on a micro level.

Hi everyone, Many of you have shared feedback with us over time about how navigation works on the Forums, especially when using a phone. Based on that feedback we’ve been working on an updated approach to mobile navigation. We’re looking to launch this update soon, and we’d really value your feedback by 17 May. Below is a refined concept for the proposed mobile navigation for logged‑in members, informed by earlier usability testing and community input. This is not a mobile app. It shows an updated navigation layout for using the Forums on a mobile browser, accessed in the same way as you do now. Mobile is where the layout change is most noticeable. The navigation items shown on desktop would be the same as those shown in the concept image above. We’re interested in your thoughts on: Whether this feels easier or harder to navigate than what we have now Whether anything feels harder to find Whether the labels and structure make sense Whether anything feels missing or unclear There are no right or wrong answers. We’re especially interested in how this might feel when you imagine using it for everyday Forums activities. A few notes for context This shows the logged‑in experience on mobile The image shows the navigation options only, not a specific page If you’d prefer to share feedback privately, or if you’re not a member yet and can’t reply here, you can contact us at modsupport@beyondblue.org.au Thanks so much for taking the time to share your thoughts and help improve the Forums for everyone.

Hi everyone, Over the years, some members have asked whether the Forums have an app. Often this comes up without much detail, so we would love to better understand what's behind it. We are currently looking at ways to improve how the Forums work on phones. Before making any changes, we want to hear about your experience. In particular, we would love to know: Are there things that feel harder to find or do on the Forums when you are using your phone compared with your computer? If you have ever thought about a Forums app, what were you hoping it would make easier when using the Forums on your phone? There is no right or wrong answer. We are simply trying to understand what matters most so we can make thoughtful improvements for the community. How to share your thoughts You can reply to this post with your feedback. Short or long responses are both welcome. If you would rather share something privately, or if you are not a member yet and cannot reply here, you can contact us at modsupport@beyondblue.org.au What happens next We will use the feedback you share to help guide improvements to the Forums experience on phones. Thank you for being part of the Beyond Blue Forums. Your perspectives really do help shape how the Forums work. Project TeamBeyond Blue
