I am sorry to bother everyone with my problems, but I am so crying, hurt and angry about what a friend messaged me. I can't go into specifics, but this person said that she found my journal offensive, because I wrote down that I thought that I had a certian disorder. (Which I really do). It was said that I should not write this until I was diagnosed, and that I should remove this comment form my journal. Worse, I was told that I should not be looking for a new disorder to hang my problems on, just because my life wasn't going well. I messaged this person back in defence. This really offended and hurt me. This person has been increasingly harsh to me in their comments. All I've done is try to be their friend. I don't know what to do. I want to leave DS now, beacause I am frightened of what other people might say about my journal.

Perhaps your friend is anoyed by this becasue she has some of her own unresolved issues. At any rate I believe that writing down your feelings is a positive way to vent and helps each of us keep our sanity and grow. Maybe not talking to this friend for a while might be helpful at this point. Huggs

your journal is yours and you can write anything you want or feel, do not let anyone discourage you from this, they do not want to be your friend, so just delete their remarks and pay them no mind.we sometimes have a little trouble here, but it really is nothing...delete delete delete, and if it gets too mean and you cannot handle it , report them to doug...or other group moderators.

I agree with the others, this is your journal, say what you want and talk about how you feel. Many people can't understand what another is going through when sick - and they get upset about it. Someone will always have something to say. Block this person or report her. But go on doing what YOU need to do to get better. All of us are here to listen and help where and when we can. Keep us posted.
