We are here for eachother to the best of our ability.

We will not and can not have all the answers for someone else as we dont have them for ourselves.

We owe eachother nothing but respect.

I see alot of people on these sights who have feelings hurt here for one reason or another and it makes me VERY careful who I reply to.

This is supposed to be a place to vent and feel real. What I find myself doing is walking on eggshells here to.

Felt like venting - I hope I did not offend anyone but it was getting to me.

Tell me about it. Can't even express my opinion without people jumping on my back.

*hugs* vent & unload away... sometimes it's the only way to stay sane.

Well said to 45678 I mean. And it's also true, depressed people have their feeling hurt more easily but they also have more sympathy. Some of them, I mean.

walking on egg-shells is one of the worse feelings to ever have
it is NOT a way to live
it is NOT a way to happiness

Please vent to me. I will tell you all that I know that has worked for me. I hope it works for you or that you can use it in some way. If not, no hurt feelings. Love you all vents or no vents.

Hello, i wanted to mention something called 'flaming' we were told about it when i started uni, they applied it to emails but it works for this too (and text messages). it is the tendency for written material to sound offensive or nasty when it is not ment that way. without vocal and facial expression it is easy to misread what or how something is meant. add to that a group of people who are often emotionally vulnerable and its easy to see where it goes wrong.i just tend to keep 'flaming' in mind.it might help.

    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...
