Hi..I'm new here..just need to put my feeling down..no one to talk to makes depression and anxiety so hard...the last 4 days I have either been in bed crying or on the lounge crying..I can't seem to get out of this...I am becoming a prisioner in my own home as its getting progressively difficult to go out.. I have to go out Tuesdays so I do everthing on that day but it's like I'm holding my breathe all day until I get back to the safety of my home then I can let go and that starts the cycle again of spending the next 6 days at home either in bed or on the lounge sad and depressed...I really feel like just giving up.. My husband passed away 4 years on This coming Thursday. My children live 6 hours drive away and have small children so I don't see them that much.Bad mum and grandmum I am on there last visit i was pleased to see them but I just wanted them to go home. I feel so aweful and numb atm..

I have just seen your post,   I’ve been trying to navigate the new forums...and not feeling confident at all with it all right now...I suppose in time we all will be able to navigate it, like we did the older version....With lots of practice....

Hope you’re all doing okay...

sending my care, hugs and love to everyone..🦋🤗💜..

Hi Grandy

It's strange isn't it, I liked the old version of BB where I knew where I was, this is confusing. I'm glad I've reached you and Paws, I hope you've been able to reach Deebi!

Hi Grandy, am I reaching you?  It throws me that it brings up the oldest post in your thread.. Did you go to the store this week?  I am meeting a friend for lunch today, little Sam had surgery a few days ago, he is recovering now.  Are you OK the way you type replies, it says auto save, but then you have to hit reply again to post it... let's see if things work here now!  Cheers! 😀

Hi Grandy and all, 

What a shamozle all this change is. I would love it if they could just go back to the old forums things were much simpler. 

I'm getting your messages Hanna. You have to scroll all the way down and press on the large number to get to the newer posts. It was much quicker and easier before. 

Hope you are all well. I think a lot of ppl will drop of because of these changes. 

Hi Magic, yes it's a bit cumbersome isn't it, and I don't get any notification that someone has posted! How can we know? I have to check each time. I find it hard to find newcomers and see if they've been replied to. I wonder if mmMekitty can manage as she has some sight issues! Good to see you here! It seems fairly quiet around the forums I think, as much as I can see! 😊🐕👍

😹Found you, Grandy! I wish I could really bring DB here, because your bestie has been asking after you, missing you, & is also having trouble finding posts, such as this one. I thought to suggest entering the exact name of your thread into the search thingy. But now, I think, a little treasure hunt, one could follow the trail:

as near the top of this page. 

First fine: Beyond Blue Forums

Next find: Long-term support over the journey

Grandy's, Alone..Depressed..Sad.. 

DB's, Surviving: Being in a better place

Hanna's Anyone spend days alone without anyone to toalk to

My, Introducing mmMekitty

are all here, Pawa' too I guess, but I don't know the title.

Croix Parler (it is 'Parler') is still in BB Social Zone.

Oh, I hope this helps,& does not confuse even more..

💖💖💖💖💖have some more!
