Hi ladies. I just wanted to update you on where I have been and explain myself. While I know I was struggling through most of the challenge to keep on top of things, I had a resurgence of some ED issues that I needed to address personally that took me away from the board and from the challenge. I am still embarrassed about it, and frankly, I am really disappointed in myself. I am working on that part, but I also wanted to sincerely apologize for abandoning you guys. I didn't do it intentionally, but I was not aware and I was not managing my stress or balancing as I needed to. I am very lucky to report that baby is small, but healthy and I am continuing to see a professional for the foreseeable future. THIS HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE CHALLENGE. I REPEAT, MY ISSUES WERE TOTALLY NOT RELATED TO THE CHALLENGE. I hope that I can come around more and convince you that who I was during this challenge is not who I usually am as a person or as a friend. I'm not as much of a disaster in life as I have been for the last six months or so....I just fell apart, and needed to get some help to put myself back together. Thank you for understanding, and I hope to play with you all in threads soon---but probably not on this board for a hot minute  Awareness and all that. Love and my sincerest apologies, Kiki |

First of all I want to say how much I love you, I'm pleased that you updated us and I'm glad that while things were rough that things are hopefully better for you now.
Second I'm very happy to hear baby is doing well and is healthy.
Thirdly and by far my most important point, don't ever feel like you have to apologize to us, your friends, for caring for yourself. You have nothing to be embarrassed about here and you certainly don't have to apologize.
I'm glad to "see" you around, friend.
❤️

thanks, leatherpants, that means so much to me. I was feeling upset and was having a comically hard time explaining to my therapist what this place even is. I did feel I needed to apologize because honestly, this online group has been my lifeline for almost four years, and I felt like I wanted to make sure that you guys knew that I care about you and you are important to me even though I haven't been capable of showing it. I am going to attempt to catch up because things seem...different around the main board. How are you doing? |

That is definitely not something you need to feel bad about. I'm glad baby is doing well and that you are getting yourself to a better place.

I had been wondering where you were because I miss seeing your face on the boards. You have absolutely nothing to apologize for in regard to WLC as far as I'm concerned. You also have no convincing to do - you are a wonderful person to interact with on the forums.
I'm so glad baby Yogininikki is doing okay and I hope that you continue to find healing.
Don't be a stranger. ❤️

I'm glad you're doing better and please don't be embarrassed. I'm glad you were able to step away when it was best for you to do so, and I'm also glad to see you back too. Hugs!

You ladies are truly a special bunch of people. Thank you for your support. I am slowly getting back into the swing of things and hope to be around more and more in the coming weeks.

Hey,Kiki, hey.
I'm so glad you checked in and gave an update- and that baby Kiki is doing well. No need to apologize; you have to do what's best for you, always.
It's good to hear that you're getting the help you need. Sending all my love to you and yours. I've missed you, lady!

yoginikiki, I love you, lady. I've missed you and I've been asking about you. You been on my mind a lot. I'm glad that you're ok, and I'm so glad that you're back on whatever level you're available. You did a great job stepping up during the challenge and if anyone owes an apology, it's me. I'm sorry for dumping that on you and for bailing. I'm so glad to see you, and if we were in person, I would squeal in delight, wrap you in a huge bear hug, and demand you let me see that baby..💕💕💕💕

I was just thinking about you— I'm glad I popped over here and saw this note from you! I'm so happy to hear that your baby is doing well, and you're seeing someone to get yourself in a better place. Like everyone else has said, there's no need to apologize for anything— taking care of yourself is important! Sending hugs and strength, and hoping to "see" more of you whenever you are up for it.

Thank you so much you guys. I "graduated" from IOP today and I am super excited to start over again as a full fledged member of the outside world. I am feeling pretty lucky because I get to literally start over in so many ways. While I was "away" we (DH) sold our house and bought a new one and I couldn't be more excited. We move in three weeks, and hopefully two weeks after that inside baby will be outside. thisbitch, that was a fantastic read. Thank you! |

So glad you got rid of the neighbors!!!
And if you want a safe check-in thread, we can use this one or make another. I miss my WLC peeps and we get so scattered when we aren't doing a challenge. I missed you a lot when you were gone.

Awareness and all that.
