Attention seeking

Ok so while were on the subject.....

There are some people on here who need more help than any of us can give them. There are some people on here who just want to be the centre of attention. There are also some people on here who have suffered more so fucking much but never frequent the main forum. They communicate bt PM most of the time and stay in the back ground. They suffer in silence and I admire those people so much. I sympathise with the ones that NEED the attention but I respect the ones that don't. Attention doesn't help.....having the balls not to need it does!

I do agree but Maybe that should be "Having the balls to help oneself" helps, Shadrack?

Ah the wisdom of Snork - it has been in short supply lately - glad to see you're here! And helping yourself is definitely the way to go - in the end that's the only way to get healthy. Others, even professionals, can only give us tools. We have to pick them up and apply them in our lives in order to be well.

I agree in some aspects but attention seeking is an illness that needs help too. The ones who fake suicides in my opinion need more help then we can give them and should seek the help of a REAL professional. My wife is one of those attention seekers and I told her she needs to be more independent and she left me for it.

*My opinion*

Onlyy problem is what if someone really does need help...should they just not post...so that there not called an attention seeker?????

People who think that what will fix their lives is something outside of themselves don't understand when you try to tell them you can't fix them. They are convinced that something outside themselves is missing, and when they find that person, or thing, life will be perfect. You can't help anyone, not even a professional can, until they realize that they are the only ones who can "fix" themselves.

    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...
