Canceled my therapist and moving forward

Hello,

I left this platform silently a few months ago back after going through another crisis. While I'm doing fine now, I have since cut off my therapist after being ghosted and was let down. Additionally, the resources of help or other methods I've had seem too condensed for me to comprehend what I should do to help myself, followed by deleting a lot of apps related to self-care and mental health. I guess these methods just don't seem to work out for me.

While I am already focusing on pursuing my goals, I wasn't sure what to do with this account or whether I should come back here from time to time. I enjoyed looking at the resources this platform has taught me, especially the free courses and practices of being a listener. I am also grateful that I made a few friends here during my recovery when I gave this platform a second chance last year. But now I'm not so sure.

Is this platform still worth it?

Thanks for reading. - Oak

@compassionateOak202  It's worth it if you believe it is.

I understand, btw. Had a personal account on Instaspam for a few years...gradually I started disengaging from it. Not logging in for three to four days at a time. Then staying out for a week straight, then for longer...at a certain point I realized I was tired of the usual (anti)social media bulls***. So I deactivated my account, & have never gone back.

@slowdecline48 thank you for your kind response. I used to be active here for about half a year until I realized I just needed time away from here and everywhere and focus on my ventures. I went through months of social media detox as well and spent the last few months just permanently deleting accounts & emails here and there, which I guess was worth the hassle.
