I want to make a apology to the community about a post I had made recently

Please excuse this long post (brevity is a weak point atm). I highlighted my main points.

I think the forum section I posted to was 'Need extra support? We'll be thinking of you' (something akin to that), but I cant find the exact place & post, just fyi. I may have been removed and that is fine.

If all of this comes off as too sensitive, or 'emo', flaky, awkward, or even egotistical in any way that's fair enough.
This has been bothering me all week in the back of my mind.

Here's my main point:
Earlier this week I was feeling so unbelievable, horribly overwhelmed and I ranted all of my heaviest emotions and fears in a long post. I was too impatient to wait for a 1 on 1 listener. It was nothing insinuating harming myself (that's not my struggle).

Not to underestimate anyone's strength and resilience but there are people in experiencing a whole specturm of vulernabilites & sensitivities who can be provoked into a darker place emotionally by a vomit post of very very desperate, dark thoughts, in the same way a documentary, article, etc could make put you in a bad place.
I think the post was locked and/or removed (which is good, IMO).

Stay Strong.
Kind Regards.

note:
I didin't use any harsh language, say anything about other memebers of the site, or anything that would violate terms of service (lol, I would be rightfully banned if I did, I hope). If I need to move this in another forum let me know.

@Exist56 Meant to add:

I regret sending that post, in maybe an inappropriate, and not waitng for 1 on 1 listener. I'm calling myself out on having potentailly crossing a line.
To staff & community, thanks for providing a space for all of us.
(ugh...if this sounds really businees-y, I've been writing cover letters and business emails all week. It's 100% genuine).

Ok moving on.

@Exist56 Is this the post you're referring to? https://www.7cups.com/forum/GetSupport_28/NeedSomeExtraSupportTodayLetUsKnowWellBeThinkingofYou_110/Uncertaintyoflifeisterrifyingmelately_53806/

I think it's really sweet that you are concerned how your words may affect others. Personally I see nothing wrong with it, that section is to share what's troubling you and to seek out support for it. In the forums, it's moreso graphic details that are removed. You sound a bit overwhelmed and I think many can related to that. I'm sorry you haven't had any replies there yet!

If you do want your post editted or deleted, I or someone else can do that for you. I will be heading out soon, so I won't be able to do something until later today. You can respond here, tag me in a post ie. @AffyAvo or if you can send a message to one of these listeners:

I really appreciate your reply.
If the mods/listeners/staff are ok with the post, then I'm ok with it staying.
