MODERATORS
i might aswell go first again. this week was a rather rough one for me. work really wore me out and made me want to crawl back into my cave. but at the same time i found some passion in three new projects. one is an art project i procrastinated on for years now ^^" the second on is a little pokemon battle simulation i am creating (im learing to code and its fun so far) and the third one is this very community. i am so delighted to see that this place is useful for many people. next week i want to focus more on working on these two project. and in general take greater care in self care. sometimes i tend to forget to do nice things for myself. so i actively plan for a bath and some nice food ^^ its important to take a step back now and then and check on how i am actually doing since in the stress of life i sometimes oversee problems. ngl, i somewhat wanted to make these megathreads for selfish reasons lol. but maybe someone else will have an interest to share :3
thank you for that comment. i am trying. communities like this have helped me a lot in the past and i am just happy to be able to give back with relatively low effort. while i know alot about anxiety i know little about moderating online. its my first time, and i am a bit unsure where i am overshooting or underperforming. it is a learning process for me aswell, and we will see what works best. on a related note, i always apprechiate any kind of feedback.
i agree that it can be daunting to post or comment. i certainly dont want anyone to feel pushed. but i want everyone to feel invited if they want to share something. i think and hope we have a community here that is welcoming and not judgeing, to whoever needs it. if noone needs it, that would honestly make me happy ^^ but realistically the modern life is such a catalyst for mental health issues its sad. and all we humans can do is be there for each other, understand, and support.
and finally i wholeheartly agree. selflove is so important, and way to little teached. you also take care of yourself :)
