I am appalled.....

....at some of the opinions and bashing expressed on here tonight. I know most of you won't want to hear this, but this place (i.e some of the ppl on it) appears to me to be becoming so damn toxic. I came here to give and receive support. This is an open-forum depression website, not a venue just for certain ppl to express their opinions and shoot ppl down when they don't agree.

I don't particulary want any replies to this post, although I'm sure I will be shot down for it. At the moment, I am so f*cked off with this place it is unbelievable......and think a long break from it is necessary for me. I hope some ppl can reflect on how damaging/toxic to others their behaviour actually is, and at the end of the day we are all depressed, have thoughts of suicide etc....no one person has the monopoly on that

Gee, hope it wasn't me, I always try to be helpful and insightful. Let me know if I did that so I can learn from it. I am here to help, not bash.

Well I will certainly disagree that I have ever 'attacked' anyone...and the person you are speaking of had no problems attacking me and others and was actually banned for this...but you are most certainly entitled to your opinion

Hi Ruby I am late as always these days but I find that when I cant handle what is going on the boards I just take a break from the boards. Stick to just your friends. Sometimes the boards can and do become unhealthy for us. Much love to you sweet cheeks :)

    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...
