Being honest here. I'm not going to name names nor do i expect people to comment but hopefully the right people read this. I came on this site looking to help others and not recieve it myself thats one big factor in all this. I really dont see why i write anything in my journals because it just ends up making me feel worse. I end up feeling victimised by peoples comments and munipulated to their own advantage. I dont want to start saying names because i dont want everyone to know really and well i just hope you know that thats what your doing which you probably do and all i'm asking is for you to stop because i dont like it and well in the end i'll just leave dailystrength. When someone is feeling shit like i am dont go round leaving responses that end up making the person feeling worse because you might aswell as hand them a gun and pull the trigger...WORDS CAN KILL just remember that before you say something horrible to someone.Do you really want their death on your shoulders?Well thats all i really wanted to say and also to tell everyone dont worry bout me i'm fine...not sure where i'm at at the moment.Take Care EVERYONE...Luv u ALL becka xoxox

what happened becka?

We love you too.
Becka, Take the people who are nasty off your friends list and start locking your journal for friends only. Unfortunately, cruel people find their way onto DS. The only way to stop them is to totally ignore them. Use the report abuse option if you need to. Don\'t let them force you off DS. There are a lot of us that want you to stay. Be forceful in protecting yourself from nasty people. I care about you and am sorry you are getting comments that hurt. Hugs and more hugs, Donna
Love you too Becka!
Dearest Becka,
It troubles me so to learn that someone on DS has hurt your or offended you in any way. You most certainly do not deserve that. We are each on this site because we have issues of our own, and I don\'t feel that there is anyone here who has the right to judge another. You are a very special person with so very much to give. You have a wonderful ability to write and I look forward to the words you so generously share with me. Please Becka, ignore those who have offended you. You owe no one anything. You are here because you want to be and you have provided so much compassion and love to so many. We each know that some in the world can be cruel and we will never know why the choose to be that way. But, you do not have to subject yourself to their cruelty. Please don\'t leave DS...you would be greatly missed. It would not be fair to you, or to those of us who care so much about you. You have the ability to pick and choose who you communicate with...if someone is upsetting you, remove them from your list of friends. Do not read the messages that are bringing negativity into your life. You deserve so much more. Know I am here for you friend and that I always will be. I pray you continue to stay on DS and continue to share the words you write. Ignore those who are unkind and know in your heart that you bring happiness to so many, my friend. Many, many big hugs for your courage, kindness, compassion and strength! Paula
P.S you have helped me a lot and if that was your goal, you succeded...
i know exactly how you feel!
i get this all the time!
and i would like to say to DMNF that even if we were to get rid of the mean people from our friends list it still happends. Iget it the worst in threads i post. And i know of someone who had to DELETE one of her journal entries because it was in to much detail and was triggering. Understandable to some degree BUT journals lets see what do we use them for?
To release our emotions and how we are feeling. And we are unalbe to do so because of other people. I must say its like there is a group of OH SO IMPORTANT people on this site. Where you have to watch what you say just incase we hurt them. An there is nothing we can do about it.
But anyways hunnie, Sorry for the ramble but i know how you feel totally!!
and am here if you need me. :)
Noone forces anyone to read anything, if they don\'t like it then don\'t read it. We all have our issues and our own ways of dealing with them. DS is a huge help to lots of people as it gives them the oppertunity to release the thoughts they would otherwise have floating around their head instead of keeping the bottled up, which is potentially damaging. We have all suffered on here and each persons pain is as important as the next. we all have our own ways of dealing with it. Whoever has upset you needs to take a good look at themselves. By trying to control the things you post they are acting in an abusive way. The beauty i found in Ds was to be able at last to be honest about how i felt, good or bad and to see that despite me thinking that i was weird - i wasn\'t because other people felt that way too after experiencing similar things. Whoever has upset you becka has clearly nothing better to do with their time and should get over themselves! Keep posting and get it all out babes take no notice of anyone else. You are a great person and have helped me through so much, as you have with all these other people who are supporting you.
