Navigation problem?
I'd swear there was a thread here about mourning stolen childhood & that I had supportive exchange with @amiableblackberry92. I wanted to reread it to re-experience the validation. Now it's not here. Thread searches turn up nothing. It feels awful--unseen, unvalidated, unvalued as usual. @AmiableBlackberry92 ?
@Old1 Hello :) Have you tried looking under your forum threads? If you click on your icon on the right hand side, it drops down. If you click on your forum threads it will show you threads you created. Checking the box for subscribed threads you'll see threads that you have written on. The search feature here isn't very helpful I'm afraid. Hopefully this is helpful in locating what you're looking for.
Also , if I touch the 3 horizontal dots at the upper right of the forum screen, it just grays out & freezes. I admit to being freaked out about censorship without explanation here.
Grieving stolen childhood. Can’t find it anywhere.
@Old1 I'm here and looks like it was possibly cleaned out of older posts not sure. But I'm here if you need me.💜ABB
Tyvm. Thought I was losing it. ❤️
I'm sure this site is monitored for cleaning out , I think and language etc. I'm sure it's required to keep us safe. Rules keep ppl safe.
@Old1 I had a terrible day Yesterday, I feel better today how are you holding up.? It's Monday here and quiet. Are you setting any appts. to accomplish your housing goal? ABB💜
Sorry to hear about your day, @amiablenlackberry92. I've had 2 sources of retraumatization for about a year. One was also a source of love. I had to let it go recently. The other is my job. Work has always been awful, & I've always had a hard time holding a job. I'm constructing a bubble to live in while I'm there. I got that idea from Andrew Johnson, whom I found on Insight Timer. He does a meditation called "shields up,"
Housing--got my taxes filed. Stuck in the morass of rules around AGI/above-the-line deductions, vs standard deduction, which I used.
I can start a new one under trauma or we can stay here
We can start a new thread
Thank you @TheFisherKing. I don’t have anything resembling that in the drop down from my avatar. First place I looked. I’ve looked through all the threads here. Went to my computer to see it better.
@Old1 You're welcome. I keep forgetting that people might be using the app instead. I usually stick to the website on the laptop becauae I have trouble navigating the app myself. They keep making changes to things here. I'm glad you and @amiableBlackberry92 have found each other though. :) If you create a thread for you both, you could add a trigger warning (TW) in the title, it might help prevent unwanted censoring. Which is disconcerting becauae I was under the impression that they were supposed to give a reason why it was done.
I found it, it's there and I sent a response so old1 can find it. Thank you fisherking
@amiableBlackberry92 Excellent! I'm glad you were able to find it again :) They really do need to make navigating the forums easier.
@Old1 could this be the thread? >click here< I found by searching "grieving stolen childhood" in the forum search bar (which usually never works for me! And yet another thing I think is missing from the app 🤔)
Happy you've found each other again!
@Old1 Hi I saw ot to under Traumatic Loss
.

Hi !
HERE is your thread.
Maybe it was (perhaps wrongly) moved to the "Traumatic Loss" forum. Or it might be that this forum name was "Traumatic Grief" some time ago, and you couldn't find it under this name. But I suspect it was always in the "Traumatic Loss" forum because the first post starts talking about the "traumatic loss of a childhood".
I moved it to the "Childhood Abuse" forum, where I think it belongs. But let me know if you prefer to move it to another Forum.
Kind regards !
Marcelo.

Hi !
HERE is your thread.
It had been (perhaps wrongly) moved to the "Traumatic Loss" forum. Or it might be that its name was "Trauma through Grief" some time ago.
I moved it to the "Childhood Abuse" forum, where I think it belongs. But let me know if you prefer to move it to another Forum.
Kind regards !

Thank you, Marcelo. It seems I can’t navigate to the childhood-abuse forum independently of the link you thoughtfully provided. I’ll try later via Windows. Navigation in the app is making me crazy.
@Old1
I am glad it worked !
You can go to the whole Child Abuse forum from HERE
All the best !
Marcelo.
