Don't know why you have been avoiding the forum but I hope you stay.

Hi Yadim,

I really do mean the following comment in a good way, not a sarcastic one. It is always" safe" to come back here. If someone is always being sharp towards you, or making you upset then please use the "ignore" button. That way you won't see this persons comment. You can also remove this person if they are on your friends list.

Chronic pain can make us lash out at times. Is it right? Absolutely not. This is a group for support not one for being mean to someone. I really hope you'll come back. There are more good apples here then bad. I hope you have a wonderful relaxing and pain diminished weekend. Hope to see you more often :)

Hugs & God Bless
Lisa

Safe is a relative term. Meaning that it is relative to how you interpret or handle things. It is very rare that we have a truly mean person in this group. Differing opinions yes. Different views yes. And sometimes people say things because of the pain they are in.

Only you can determine if this, or any, group is beneficial to you. As hurting angel pointed out the ignore button is helpful if you find a particular person to be bad for you. And sometimes there are topics that some people find better to skip.

I hope you do decide to come back and participate in the group. We learn from each other and help each other. The more the merrier!

No, don't go away. I've been waiting for you to come back. I miss you...you belong here.

Hugs

I think it is safe to come back. Things have been pretty calm around here for the past few days. I sent everyone valium. J.K. I know I'm guilty for letting my emotions get the best of me at times, but there is always the ignore button. For some reason I find it hard to ignore people because even the negative posters have useful information sometimes. I don't think anyone is going to get on your case if you come back, Yadlim. I hope you're having a low pain, low stress weekend. Hugs!

Welcome back yadlim! You're right...good intentions can actually be misplaced intentions and it can hurt! But since I've been back for about 2-3 weeks now, there is not nearly the amount of infighting that there was before. I think everyone has calmed down and those who caused the trouble are gone. So it is pretty safe to come back. I hope you do partake in discussions. ANd like the others said, you can always hit the "ignore" button if someone starts to bother you. But I do think you will be fine coming back!

Gentle hugs,
Jenna

Yadlim I feel like I have been gone forever so I really don't know what happened to you. Having said that your input is just as valuable as anyone else's. People can have a difference of opinion but they should share in a constructive way. I am sorry you were hurt but I personally would hate to see you leave. Have a low pain day today my friend.

I have not been here too much over the last month, so I don't know what may or may not have happened.

I do know that when pain is out of control a lot of us get cranky. And we really should not post if we are out of sorts.

I am sorry if some comment or person has hurt you or made you cautious to post.

You have a lot to offer and I hope you have been able to get some useful info and support here.

The "ignore" button can be useful if needed.

I have enjoyed your post in our daily check-in and in other post. Please stay with us, you are a valuable member. I care how you are doing and hope I can be of support when you need it.

Hugs-RJ

I wanna hear more horsie stories come back please!!!

Oh no!! What happened???
Yadlim, you are loved.
I think sometimes emotions can fly high because we are all strung out, tired, hurting and desperate at times.

This is the internet..
Not a battlefield or a boxing ring.

..how can it be unsafe?

..one of the cool things about being an adult..
Is being responsible for my own feelings.
..and..one of the cool things about being on an adult site..
Is that others ....are responsible for theirs.

..take what you need..
..and, leave the rest
Works for me

Hugs
