So TikTok was where I went when I was feeling lots of feelings. Sometimes I would record myself as I talked through it, and then post. Other times I’d listen to myself prattle and let the draft be deleted. But I’m feeling sadness. And the place I’m used to visiting in sadness is gone. - ThreadSky

I had a disability community there. It's gone now, and no one cares.

I feel this so hard. There were times during peak Covid where I thought I wasn’t going to make it through the isolation. And I’d scroll TikTok to get the chemicals in my brain to move around. Reels can’t do that.

I also used TT to process, sometimes talking to myself helps. I was rarely brave enough to share any of that with the world. The community feels smaller now, but we're still hear to listen if making a video helps ❤️

Truthfully. Just typing it was what I needed. Then it didn’t feel like a secret. I didn’t feel alone with my sadness. And then it wasn’t something holding me in anymore. But god typing it out took some doing.

We miss you already 😭

It was where I went when I need to escape for a few minutes or I needed a quick dopamine hit. It will be missed. I hope we will see its return.

Sending love and hugs your way!

Regardless of what some may say, it IS like losing a loved one and in that tone I say: Take the time to mourn and come to terms. Then in a while look for a new beacon and new outlet. If anyone can do it, it's you Master Alan.

It’s so boring here. There’s nothing to see. No fun, or novelty. Same handful of people. No one in hashtags. And no visuals. I’m going to have to be staring at women in public now since I can’t harmlessly see them online anymore. Life in this fallen nation is truly hell now.

Me too friend, not sure what to do with myself. Here if you need/want a sympathetic ear!

Let the string of consciousness flow through you.

We get to be sad about this. It’s okay.

geekgirllyssa.bsky.social•36 days ago

I feel that, Alan. When things were hard when I was caring for my Opa, I would often just cry into the camera and either just let it exist in the void or post it to friends only. Sometimes I was open about it and posted it for everyone. It helped me get through a very hard time. And we're grieving.

You could crash out like I'm doing on here. Speaking nonsense into the void for all to witness 😅 in all seriousness, i am sorry.

kelpie-creative.bsky.social•36 days ago

Let's all crash out together 😭

leveluplight.bsky.social•36 days ago

I mean that’s kinda what I’m doing. This is the most I’ve ever posted to BlueSky in a day before. But I’d rather be here than a Meta platform right now.

seetreemee.bsky.social•36 days ago

I know. Same. I found you on TT.

stpat.bsky.social•36 days ago

Always here for you friend!

leveluplight.bsky.social•36 days ago

If I say it out loud, then the feelings don’t feel like a secret I’m hiding. And if the feelings don’t feel like a secret, I can let them go. Most of the time, just saying it, helps that weight lift away. Getting myself to say it has always been the hard part.

sarabsutter.bsky.social•36 days ago

I resonate so much with this.

krissidaniela.bsky.social•36 days ago

Me too, friend. Big hugs. I’m wrecked rn.

modernmouse.bsky.social•36 days ago

I felt like it was the first time I was having fun with social media and making my silly little videos
