Physical & Emotional Abuse Support Group
Abuse is a general term for the treatment of someone that causes some kind of harm (to the abused person, to the abusers themselves, or to someone else) that is unlawful or wrongful. No one deserves abuse, period. Abuse can be emotional, physical, or sexual.
I feel I am a negative, perhaps even toxic person on here. My posts are too raw and I do not wish to harm others in any way. I apologize for any problems I may have caused and I am not going to post anymore as my words are not helpful. I will handle this alone. Thank you all for your help here and I hope you find happiness, peace and love.
I personally see no problem with any of your posts. On the contrary, I think you are a sweet and articulate poster, who has every right to present their thoughts and feelings here just like anyone else.
Please, I would urge you to reconsider. So many of us would miss you if you were to go, and you deserve all of the support this board and site have to offer.

P.S. If there is anything you wish to discuss privately, do feel free to PM me at any time.
stop apologizing for hurting. what do you think we're all doing here? if someone has a problem with being witness to your anguish they can click their mouse. its not your responsibility to shield everyone from cyberspace, have you seen some of the porn out there?
now this is what i see, and keep in mind that like everyone here i have trust issues and my butt hurts from being screwed so often, but you are either trying to passively aggressively manipulate people into begging you to stay or you are so afraid of unleashing fire that you want someone to say 'you are in an explosion-proof dome that can withstand your worst without laying waste to the universe.'
i am going to assume the latter for two reasons, the first being that you have given me no reason to think you are anything but an honest, seeking, hurting person. the second is because i have done just what you are doing, i have walked into therapists' offices and ranted about what i was going to do if i got any madder, and finally one said to me "are you testing to see if i can handle your pain? i can. bring it." and boy did i.
one of the reasons i had so much in me was because i never felt safe enough to unleash the neutron bomb of unspoken rage simmering inside me, and it was my job to contain it and hope one day the president would call me to blast invading aliens back into space with it. once she gave me the ok i started crying and didn't stop for a year and half, but i had to take the leap of faith, i had to be the one to give permission to drop the bomb, i had to be the one to say "it's time." it doesn't work any over way than that.
so if you are looking for a safe place i can't imagine one better than with your butt in the living room and your mind on this site, and i think this step where you say 'my problems are as valid as anyone else's and if i'm too real then maybe they should see if fisher price offers a baby support group because this is for big girl issues' is one you have to take.
if you want to ever feel better, if you want to ever move from where you are now, you need to get into the game and start swinging and worry about who gets hit with the bat later. you have to. it's not selfish. it's survival. and it's as brutal as a lion taking down a zebra.
or, you are just being passive aggressive and i have once again fallen for it, and i add it to the list of stupid things i did today.
so which is itdo you want to lay down with a shroud over your face and wait for death or do you want to tell me to go fuck myself because i accused you of being passive aggressive and that makes you mad enough to become as emotionally strong as oprah just to spite me?
i look forward to reading your magazine, oprah.

Everyone who replied to this, Thank you. Not out of my depression, been sleeping a lot but also have an abscessed tooth. The good news? Abscessed teeth take precedence over stewing in your thoughts.
You are NOT toxic. You are suffering and struggling... Like so many of us. We are here to lean on each other. And as the others said, if someone is triggered by another's post, they can skip over it.
Don't you leave girl! xo
Hope your tooth feels better!
Big Hugs..xo
I, for one, value your contributions - both in terms of supporting others, and in allowing yourself to be vulnerable enough to see the truth when you aren't feeling quite up to snuff.
I do hope you stay around.
