I just became a member here, and it's just like any other message board on the net- people are going to disagree. The "Doug Please" post, is getting more attention, than the purpose for being here; to find some support. I feel so damn low, I can hardly keep my head up, and everyone is worried about sabbatoge. Why even bother with that post. I'm here to get help, not bother with childish games. Everyone that is here, has a bad day, or year, or decade, or however long it's been, and as far as I can tell, needs a 'pick me up', not a fight. I have enough fights with myself, to be bothered with a fight with people I've never "physically" met. I'm trying to find a way to fix the problems in my life, not keep them around. And I think many would agree. And EVERYONE is aloud there opinion. Even some jackass with nothin' better to do than harass


PEACE LOVE HAPPINESS

i totally agree w/ ya, steph, but once you've been on here for a while and you see these people posting all this negative stuff about other members, well, they're talking about people you really care about, so how do you not say something?? and when its the same people doing it all the time... we're all here cause we're down for whatever reason, but a lot of the time when people post they need help they get a lotta hugs and personal messages, so their post doesn't seem to have such a big reaction. and sometimes people just bullshit over meaningless posts all night just cause its better than thinking about the serious stuff going on around them, you know??
if you need anything, i'm here. welcome.

I'll back Mego up on this. We often talk to each other and offer more support in hugs and PM's than on the boards, so you don't necessarily see all the good that is here. But it is here, my journals and hug book are full of support from a lot of people, including some I've never talked to. I try to post support on the boards as much as possible, but often find that it is more comfortable for the other person to see it privately. Welcome to the boards.

I understand why it happens, I just don't get it. Humantiy is just strange sometimes, with the urge to bicker for the sake of bickering, or attention, or whatever it may be. See, now I got myself in a rant..... UUUUUGGGGGHHHHHHHH

So why are you going to the doctor to fix this problem if the thought depresses you. Are you sure you are doing the right thing?

awww..don't be put off by posts like that. :)

they get lotsa hits cause...well...lol different reasons, i guess. boredom, frustration, irratating non-helpful people. amusement (GUILTY lol)

but really...many people here are wonderful and sincere.

most support is done off the board, IMO. it's a great site as long as you keep your expectations realistic.

hope u feel better :)

Belive it or not, in the 6 hours (on and off) that I've been here, I've met some cool people, and gotten good advice. I just want one day without conflict, and I just can't seem to escape it...

Going to the doctor doesn't depress me, it scares the shit out of me. 3 days ago I almost took that final step and said fuck it all, and took that last breath of life. instead, I'm trying to find better ways to cope.

Well, maybe it's exactly the change you will need to start feeling better. Doctors of course have to hurt us before they heal us, but I hope it works to help you feel better.

    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...
