What is wrong with you?
The alternative word for donkey --it is so harmless.
I mean where did this all start from?
I'm amazed with your patience and time to administrate and check posts .Maybe you have gone crazy :-)
It's hard to have a little fun here or to know what not to say. As for the blocking , well I'm too mentally challenged to understand it.
Well, me dear you are the landlord so I'll just shut up now..but I feel it's tricky for other members.
Beware -I'll come to chicago and give you a good shaking :-)

The members here ...I have no idea who I'm posting to. Old timers or newbies--but maybe that's my problem...that's the way things are ..so..ok, back to beating myself up.

Oh hun.. I know JUST how you feel.. I no longer know who the hell is who these days. I've given up caring though I think. I'll just talk to those I know and ignore those I don't from now on.Nikki

Braaaaaay

I hear you, slinky. What's what and who's who? Dang if I know. I barely recognize myself anymore. At least you're still here. Remember when I was new and I briefly thought you were a MAN? Ah, those were the days.

Ouch. That hurts. I can absolutely understand your anger and mistrust over this whole situation, but please don't hold it against the rest of us. I came to this board looking for understanding and acceptance, and hopefully to offer some of my own. It would really, really hurt to be rejected by my own people. By "my own people" I mean people who have depression, relationship issues, fear of rejection, etc. I hope you'll reconsider posting only to people you know, because there's nothing like a "clique" to make others feel unwelcome and excluded.

That hurts too...
I am sorry this is happening..I wasn't here when this happened so I didn't want to get involved but I feel so sad to see so many people hurting....
I have felt very safe here and I feel grateful, but that's so sad that now some people will be so distrustful towards new members.. :o(
just wishing peace and safety for this place,
Adia.

I'm sorry.
From now on I will only concern myself with how others may be feeling, and totally forget how *I* might be feeling.
My feelings are totally unimportant.. I must keep remembering that.

I'm stunned. I didn't deserve that post. I didn't mean for there to be anything negative or accusatory in my post. If it came across badly, I apologize. It wasn't my intention to create waves. I was just sharing how the current situation is making *me* feel.
Of course your feelings matter. And so do mine, and so do Adia's. Although this situation is far more painful for those of you who were directly involved, it's also painful for the rest of us. It's upset the whole "safety net" feeling of the board, which is really disconcerting for many of us.

Nikki,
Of course your feelings matter...You matter...
No one said you should forget how you feel...
I am really sorry about all this situation, I just wish I could help in some way and as I've been here just a month and some more I know I shouldn't get involved at all, I just feel sad to see this happening and I wish I could help in someway to help people feel safe.Your feelings do matter, I am sorry if anything I wrote made you feel that they didn't.
I didn't mean to make you feel that way...I am sorry.
Please, know that your feelings do matter. Of course they do...!Adia.

I'm sorry I lashed out at the two of you, it was uncalled for.
I'm just fed up with being told that I should act a certain way, and not do what is best for ME, but what is best for other people at the moment. No one seems to be trying to do anything that could make me feel any better (And I'm talking not PB friends here), and I guess that the anger from that simply burst out here.
I know this might sound awful, but I can't say these things to the friends that are putitng pressure on me right now, and so it all gets stored up, and one silly little trigger clicked, and I ended up taking it out on you two, as I don't know you, and wouldn't have any permanent repurcussion from it. I'm not trying to excuse what I did, just explain.
I do apologise.. I just need my time at the moment to get that safe feeling back, and to wait for my new meds to kick in.
Nikki

Thank you Nikki. I really appreciate that, and it makes me feel so much better.
You *do* deserve to take care of yourself, here and with your other friends. Sometimes it's hard to know how much giving (and putting aside your own feelings) is appropriate for a healthy give-and-take relationship, and when you're violating yourself by giving too much. If you decide that you're giving more than you can spare, then I hope you are able to stop and take care of yourself. So much easier to say, than do...
Good luck with your new meds. Do you ever wonder why the drug companies put "Alcohol may intensify the effect of this drug" on the pill bottles? Like that's a BAD thing??!! :)
Hugs,
Hannah

Hi Nikki,
Thank you for your message. It means a lot.
I understand :o)
Please do take care of yourself and know that your feelings matter and you deserve to take gentle care of you and put your needs first...
Wishing you the best,
Adia.

I do think the drug manufacturers are pretty darn funny! Did you know that a listed side effect of Viagra is prolonged erections? Ummm... Duh! :)
