It is disgusting to find out that a member has been lying and not in the situation they claim to be. I feel sorry for the parties involved. Finding this out has triggered me and brought out strong emotions of going through a similar situation. I am deeply saddened.
Be careful who you trust, it is easy to type up lies. These people seem to have no cares or regard for the people they hurt.

Great Post my friend.

It is a very unfortunate aspect of being on a website like this. And whats worse is that its impossible to undo the damage that is done when this kind of thing happens. All you can do is learn from it and move on.
That said, there are a lot of really good honest, caring, supportive people here and I really hope you don't give up on the whole thing.

There are many great ppl here too tho, so dont forget about them Hugs Abby

Hope your feeling better soon hon

very good post.. This happens all the time and makes us suspicious of people that are even truthful.. You have to watch who you believe and who you trust and let the others go.

Sorry someone treated you like that Mystie. So uncalled for and completly out of line. We come here for support but we give it to each other as well. I would hate to find out that one of my friends had been lying to me on here. Not on. Plus it takes support away from someone that needs it.

I know there are good people on here. It is just a shock to find out that people tell lies. I guess I just don't understand how someone can do that.
I need to work on my own deep seeded issues and make the situation my own.

It is very sad but the thing is people use this site and like anywhere else in life your going to find the good and bad, the users and abusers and those who just like to rain pain where ever they go.
That said, it's been my experience that there are more of the good caring types here then the other and more who open their hearts to others in pain with a real desire to help so instead of focusing on the creeps lets keep giving thanks for the good ones we meet.

I dont understand why someone would come up here and lye????? what is the point of that???

deleted_user 08/26/2008

Even though I suffer with depession, which IS a mental illness. There are other mental illnesses out there. Some are sicker than others. I try to overlook the really sick. It is hard to do, but sometimes, it has to be done to get the help you need hear on D.S.
I take the good with the bad as life is.
I don't take anything personal said on here. I have few true friends here, I talk to everyday. Others on occasion.
