I'm so tired of the CP life. I really don't want to do this any more. ( not a suicide threat). Although..I can't honestly say I never consider it. I want ...more. I'm far past wanting the old me or my " real life " back..I let those go..oh I don't know when. Just lost any hope of them, really, Didn't come to some big acceptance. But..MORE THAN THIS living only..OK..that's dramatic..living mostly..to avoid more pain.


....So...some stress goin' on here..:-) :-) :-)
I came on 'cause I was going to " vent " about...stress.

And..oh, yeah...I see yet another post that seems only intended to instigate.
I don't suppose we can not let it?
Just let it sliiiiide off the board?

'Cause..I swear..I'm not sure I'm gonna hang around for another round of stupid on this board.

JC, so sorry your are feeling so sad and stressed. CP does keep trying to win. I will throw you a rope and a basket full of chocolates and tea, and an invisibility cloak. Praying tomorrow will be better. I know we all hit this point but it doesn't matter when you are in the middle of it. It can become so consuming. Gentle Hugs my friend-RJ

PS. If a post irritates someone they need to move on.

Thanks, Rj..

I'm just edgy today...:-) :-) :-)
Life is throwing me curve-balls I'm not up to.
That's...
Just life.

I agree...folks can just ignore " irritating".. or judgemental..or attention-seeking..or designed to inflame ...posts.

But..we tend not to. They tend to consume the board to the detrement of al...especially new folks.

I was kinda asking if we could maybe not do that this time..:-)

How are YOU doing? .. :-) :-)

jan, i adore your ability to make me smile despite both our pain. i'm sorry that your pain and stress are so high. i know what you mean about letting go of the past life. ain't coming back...i'm still trying to wrap my brain around that.

i read that stupid post when i woke way too early b/c i turned the wrong way in my sleep and my sleep pillow hit RSD area. my editor was still half asleep and i didn't think i was bumping it, but you're right. let's let it sink to the bottom of the fish tank with the poop.

i know all the research and information we share here and we're often more well-informed than our drs. the dr i saw on friday didn't know what RSD was so i explained (in my nice voice).

come here to scream PRN!!

Hi JD, I'm thinking the same thing, that's why I didn't respond .. Kinda wish those posts would just fall off the grid.. As for how your feeling today, I'm so sorry your so tired of it all, don't blame ya any. Been there myself, and nothing you can do , but throw your hands in the air, and wave that white flag... Wishing you a better day...

Jan, I'm sorry you're having a rough time of it.

I've been overwhelmed with all kinds of pain, and threw the towel in for pain relief. Paying the price with the nausea, however, the pain is lessening.

I hope you feel better soon.

I'll try to be here more frequently.

Hang in there, it will get better, that's what everyone keeps telling me.

Sorry your having such a hard time. Hopefully things will look up for you...maybe let the curve balls fall to the ground for now?? There's always tomorrow, right, no need to handle all the problems today.

You've been a good friend JC, I really hope things look up for you soon.

jc,

Are you on anti-depressants? You might want to consider one. Depression makes everything worse in life and it becomes a vicious cycle in which we get stuck. I am not currently on them, but have used them in the past and they really did help.

It's ok to vent you know. That's what we're here for.

As for the ugly post, I'm going to ignore it and the ignorant pm I got from it's author. She just doesn't get it.

Most of the people here are so supportive and compassionate and understanding. A few bad apples shouldn't spoil the whole bunch.

I'm here for you if you need to vent some more!

There was nothing ignorant or deliberately provocative about it. When people want to take out their frustrations on someone who isn't part of their inner circle and doesn't share their perspective, the problem is theirs - until their reaction spreads and causes others to be afraid of speaking honestly. There are vague Daily Strength rules meant to discourage attacks; mob rule definitely isn't what was meant for groups. I know for a fact that not everyone thought it was a bad post. Fingers crossed on whether anyone got helpful information from it.
