I think it more in person.

I think people are being fake nice to me just to make fun of me behind my back. I haven't been on this site long enough to wonder about fabricated hugs yet.

Yet.

This is a site for support. We are human and tend to use and abuse it as a place to over socialize and replace the real world with..

I am saying that these people don't have this disorder they are just bored and pathetic people that have nothing to do but pretend and have these phucked up reasons that they ar helping and hurting people.

I know for a fact that there are people here for the wrong reasons. They have messaged me more than 1 time. Me and 1 of my friends on DS call them trolls. They think since we have problems they cyber bully us and try to induce suicide or irrational behavior.

Just remember that this illness reacts and acts differently in each person. Its only a matter of how you handle it.

If you know someone is a troll or think they are you can IGNORE them and thier posts.

But remember this is an illness and we are all fighting each and everyday if only in our own way!!!!

My sister says I am an incouragable dreamer. I am a 1/2 full kind of girl. It is the only way I can get out of bed in the morning.But what I post are my true feelings and not a fake flowerchild type mentality.I do try to keep a lot of the negative ones off posts and discuss them w/ my personal friends I have made here. I think that every mirror has two faces and I think most of us keep the mask securely fastened to the multitudes.I think you will find that soon enough the drama monster will rear it's ugly head.

Well I can handle the negativity and the cyber bullying. What about the 15 year old bipolar childern who get on here for help and they get harrassed by some sick phuck. Then they go kill themselves from hypersensitivity. I just think that Daily Strength needs to hire some "Agents" to find these people and ban their IP address or even ban them from the internet in general.

I have a lot of people on my friends list who are young but are not kids. They have very grown up problems. I think that like any microcasm of the world you will get the good and the bad but the one good thing that they have going for them is that the have an understanding for this very isolating disease.And I for one do truly care.I've been on both sides, people have been there for me and I do my best to be there.

Nick as you well know I am not BP, however you also know I am because I care about each and every one that is here for any reason. I just pray it is not me you are referring to. I have my problems with epilepsy (thank God I have been seizure free for almost 14 years) but I also have mood swings and other things that are similiar to BP. I just hope you know I care about you and everyone else here. hugs

Well, unless you think the whole darn site is a fake, take what good you can from it and stay away from the stuff you think isn't genuine.
As to trolls who would stoop to delight in driving a teen-aged bipolar to suicide or anything along those lines, I'm sure that such sickos exist. But I think they are far and few between.
As to a commonality amongst hugs and comments and the fact that they turn up within the same group of people, well, like clings to like, there are some topics which occur again and again, since this community has a specific focus, and I think it would be very unusual indeed if there WEREN'T a lot of similar responses posted!!! There's only so many ways for one to say 'I'm sorry you're feeling this way; I've been there, too', and the like.

I've noticed that & kinda thought the same thing. Like everytime the person made a comment on a thread or on someone's journal, it always said the same thing. It became comical to me after a while. I have no idea if it's someone having fun or a really uncreative person (maybe depressed?). Not sure.

I have felt like that. But then I think that way about a lot of things. It's called twisted thinking. One of my MAJOR problems. I do this in life in general, thinking my friends don't really like me and are talking behind my back...blah blah blah. But in reality if i can get one good thing out of this site it will have served a purpose. Try to focus on you and if you get something from this. It makes it much easier for me at least.

Well life is a balancing act and when there is to much negativity to cope with the positive thought then thats when the problems come about.
So 1 good thing in my eyes is not good enough to stay on the site. I hope everyone gets LOTS and LOTS of good information.
I get more good than bad, but it's just my hypersensativity that make me want to kick the negativity in the A$$..
