i know you aren't suggesting that i'm asking you to leave. right?
perhaps it would do you some good to reread my post to you deneb.
i know that if posts at babble left me with feelings of wanting to die (kill myself, od or whatever) then i wouldn't be here. however, that's me personally. and i know my own personal limitations here at babble. (i, from time to time, post extremely mean posts to people i love here, if i feel i need a break. they are in good fun of course, but that's what i do to protect myself. from others and also protect others from me. because that's how i am. i think about others and my impact on them, or try to at least)
i'm not saying 'deneb, you need to leave babble.' if that's what i meant, i would have said just that. what i am saying is that if babble is causing you more harm than good, you need to think about that.
bear with me, i'm almost done. if you are using babble as your only source of 'help', you really need to change that strategy. as it's been said here many times, there's not a whole lot that we can do to help you. and it seems, when we try, you don't respond with anything but 'i need more help. i need more attention. i need...' deneb hun, what you need is real life help. don't count on babble to give you everything you need when hurting, because it's impossible for babble to be that.
i realize this place can be hurtful at times. or, one can be hurt by posts they read. but, you need to also remember how much it hurts those of us reading who are facing hard times. you can't only think about the hurt you're going through. also think about those of us who are getting hurt as well.good luck deneb. i hope you 'hang in there' and get the help you need, both from babble and in real ife.
