HARD CARE : BAD INTENTIONS by HARD CARE https://padlet.com/hardcare/badintentions Anonymous stories of fringe, deviant and very bold experiences of care. en-us 2022-01-07 13:11:02 UTC 2022-01-08 09:23:27 UTC hello@padlet.com A stranger on a forum hardcare https://padlet.com/hardcare/badintentions/wish/1980471340 Everyone talks about forums being a dangerous place or being toxic. But I've found the anonymity to be freeing. I was going through a tough time with some personal issues, and talking to a therapist nor friends didn't help. I liked connecting with people online with a username and avatar because I could share the parts of me I felt comfortable sharing, and set boundaries.

One stranger wrote me this amazing post - it must have 1500 words. I was early 20s and the guidance helped so much. It basically said things will get better, but they seemed to understand my particular experience better than some of the closer people in my life. I still feel grateful for their words.]]> 2022-01-07 13:11:02 UTC https://padlet.com/hardcare/badintentions/wish/1980471340 On meaningful care.... hardcare https://padlet.com/hardcare/badintentions/wish/1980471344 Having a longterm chronic illness  and trying your best to maintain good health most of the time, a hard balance . I can feel quite a guilt sometimes after staying up all night dancing drinking , laughing and sometimes tears with good friends , which I then try to balance out with a jug of keifer next morning ! But sometimes the release of stress and forgetting of illness for a few hours is or at least feels far more caring .

I know it comes from a good place when people say things like “make sure you look after yourself” after they witness your poor health but you have zero control over what’s going on. It makes me angry that I should have that responsibility (obviously I do have a responsibility to a point)

pulls my energy from my brain into my body
tying me up is caring for me
you’re placing yourself in someone’s hands
that’s care - that’s trust
i love that intimacy
it’s a vulnerable place
