Well after being so pleased to have found this place I am now really pissed off with it. There are some very nasty people on here that are total shits in the way they talk/slag people off. I wrote the other day that it is like the school playground with little gangs & people trying to get in the best one. Pathetic.
The problem is that if you do not fit in with what thier rules are you get slated, if you have a spine & stand up for yourself you get slated & what really pisses me off is these hug books where people write thier shit & know damn well you only have to cross reference each reply to know what they are talking about. If they did not want people to see it they would send it by message? The last week has been rough on here anyway but it all moved on with people falling back into thier little pimps & ho's scenario. Apparently I try to hard to be cool, am not BP & probably dont belong here. I am what I am & nobody dare question me when they work so hard to be the most way out, adored & wierd people here.
There are however some stunning people here also which is half the reason I am not leaving till I am ready. They are supportive, adult & manage to live without being in these little clicks. Thank you to them for thier support & messages. I WILL NOT BE bullied off this board by anyone & if you think I am trying to hard or being shaky then tough.

It's more resistance to the idea of non-medication...tends to be very contentious & to raise hackles in this community.

True, terrible people pop up but go away once the truth about them emerges.

Well from another unmedicated one, stick in there, I've had my share of the shit too, I laugh at them and feel stronger.
Well done on not giving in, I'm sorry you are going through a hard time.

People don't get touchy for no reason..i think it's understandable...it's a big deal having to be medicated...and I do mean 'having'...my 20 yr old bp cuz is on a govt. order to take meds after quitting & getting psychotic...it's like, what? Meds are optional? & it causes intense debate....especially as bp is rampantly overdiagnosed.

I think people should make more of a stand against the horrible fuckers on this site. The BP forum isn't too bad, but the depression forums are terrible for predatory types.

People are people. In one ear and out the other. It's sad but true, that some people thrive on bashing others because they really have an issue with themselves. Misery loves company.Why go there? It just feeds the ego.I feel sorriest for people who have that much time on their hands to try to draw all the attention. Poor souls, they must be very lonely.Don't let it get to you.Much peace!

No groups of people will ever all get along, how boring would that be. I am pretty easy going till you rattle my chain. I was posting how I felt. No names, no childish comments or swearwords just how I felt. No silly hugbooks exchanges either. That really is sad, hugging someone while plunging the dagger in thier back & probably videoing it on your mobile to send to all your gang.

I don't know why you don't get the incredulity when someone announces they don't need meds? It's beyond impossible for some, y'know?

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
