No one is fighting here. I just don't understand why people have to be rude. That is all.

Krissy, I think that if you dont understand poster here you should just ignore them, there's no rule here that says you have to reply to every post, I have noticed you rely on this board a lot, maybe you should just take a step back for a while and see if you can cope without it. Im not trying to push you away and none of this is intended to hurt or offend you, but that is what I had to do for a while, it helped me understand people and I realised not to take it all so seriously. Nikki has made a good point that everyone on here is Ill and we know we dont make sense at times, we all have our off days! like you yourself said in a post get caught up in ones self, which is easily done. Anyways what Im trying to say is that I hope things work themselves out, and everyone will get along just dandy ;-)

Kristen:
I'm so glad you're feeling better. Have you gotten all your balls and gadgets for working out? (You're that person, right?) I've started the Zone diet and am feeling good. It's weird to eat so many mounds of veggies, though.
Welcome to the Social board. I'm sorry your welcome wasn't warmer. Most of us understand that we can support others WHILE we are asking for help. It makes me feel healthier when I can concentrate on someone else's difficulties for awhile. So when you ask for help, you support people like me.
Please don't be frightened off by the comments of a single poster.

Hey Krissy
Ditto what beardedlady said from me. Please don't let that put you off.
what a terrible "welcome." Its too bad mental illness can't always manifest itself more politely!
And in my opinion I wouldn't worry 'too" much about being dependant on the board, I was for 6 months, I was always posting and then apologizing for posting too much, think all I ever did was ask everyone else for help and not give any back. Everyone here was wonderful about it, and it helped. I think when you are ready to step back you will. Dinah told me you give when you can, thats the way it works.
I think we're lucky to have a group of people to support us no matter WHAT the reason, and the fact that its on line isn't really significant.
Of course its going to hurt when your first hello is greeted in that way, thats normal. I would have felt like someone gave me a shovel punch in the stomach!I don't think its a sign you are unhealthily attached. But of course thats your to figure.
I saw your thankyou to me on the med board regarding the weightloss stuff. I wanted to leave you a big "your welcome" cause I do know how devastating the weight gain problem is.I'm not posting here too much lately, I've been feeling pretty good, and have to get something accomplished in between crashes. (what a crazy way to live)
Anyway WELCOME!
And please that was just *one* opinion and I suspect something that would not be said or felt by the poster 90% of the time.

Ok, first of all......YOU asked justyourlaugh what SHE thought you were afraid of, what SHE thought you were missing and she told you her opinion. YOU asked Krissy.
You post prolifically, yes, and seem very needy. Justyourlaugh was only wondering what it was that was missing in your life that makes you latch onto this site so strongly. She was trying to be there for you to talk to but you seemed to get defensive and glib. (in my opinion)
I don't see that justyourlaugh was mean at all. She opened her heart to help. It was your decision not to take her up on it.I do admit fully that I am partial to justyourlaugh and take offense at anyone speaking ill of her. She is an open-hearted, sweet and generous person and those of you who choose not to talk to her are missing out bigtime.
I hope you find what you're looking for Krissy but a little advice from jyl is worth taking. Spend some quality time with yourself and your own thoughts. YOu may find out that the things you are looking for are right there.
take care
tina

Thanks for sharing tina,
I think you are miusunderstanding ME. I don't rely on this board, I have family, friends, and 2 docs. It's funny, because I have never been called needy. Yes, I did ask, but I didn't tell jyl "these boards are not jyl's board"-that was inappropriate and I stand firm on it. I would have taken her "up on it" if she hadn't said what she said, and I was talking to her until she slammed me. jyl seemed very condescending and I won't take that from anyone. I'm smart enough to know the difference.
I made a mistake, with a reminder from Dr. Bob, but at least I apologized. With jyl, it doesn't matter if I asked or not. I understand she is ill, we all are, but please don't call me needy, I am far from it.
I appreciate your post here, but it's over, I'm over it, if you noticed my well wishes for jyl, it's just the internet, and a site, I know what I have to do, and it sounds like I am getting a lot of support. Yep, I post a lot, and prolifically, and I have that right. I know it has helped a lot of people. The one's who it hasn't they can take it or leave it-that's their right. It's not because I am needy.
Anyway, thanks for sharing........
Take Care, Kristen

Welcome to the Social Board Krissy
I use to be a poster that welcomed all newbies, read most threads, felt like friends from the board were real people on my street. Yes, the posters are real; though, they do have their own lives outside of my little world.
I mostly post about my own experiences because I want to share the good things. Once I tried to reach out for help on the board and it didn't come through. This made me worse. My point is if the board makes you feel bad that's when it's time to step back. But it can be a great tool for helping.
Regarding your original post in this thread. Perhaps trying to get that sleep during your regular schedule will help. That's my goal right now to get a regular sleeping schedule that works with my family and the rest of the world. I think if the world would conform to my schedule I would be just peachy.
> I'm not posting here too much lately, I've been feeling pretty good, and have to get something accomplished in between crashes. (what a crazy way to live)
> Anyway WELCOME!
> And please that was just *one* opinion and I suspect something that would not be said or felt by the poster 90% of the time.Ditto to what Beardy said. Well welcome again, the more the merrier!!
BEST WISHES

Hi Willow, thank you for such a warm welcome:-)
Someone has already told me if I feel I need to step back -to do so. I got ya:-)
I'm a full time student who has been on Spring Break and I start again on Monday, so I'll be posting less and less and maybe just lurk lol
I never try to rely on a reply, but one is always appreciated. I try to help others here with my own experience and knowledge too, of course. We all have problems and I hope this board is to be used for more support for one another rather than arguing-but it does happen I just will mind my own lol
Thanks again,
All the best to you, Kristen

It indicates that there is no text only subject line. It is for quick responses. You get the (nm) by clicking the little box that says, "no messages, just post above subject". This is the last preference choice in the post entry before you write the body of the message, under "add name of previous poster" and language choice.
For future reference, a lot of this info is in the "FAQs".
Hope that answers that question.
As for the dispute between you and JYL, my impression is that she started out trying to reach out to you, but the comments became more hurtful than her original intent. She has been going through a rough time, too. I see why you were hurt, but I don't see JYL as habitually hurtful, just having a lapse in judgment maybe. I hope you can put it in that perspective. I think this will cool off with time. and, like I said in another post, I actually think you and JYl could turn out to like each other when things are calmer.

Thanks Gabbix,
I hear you! I have given as much as I received since coming to this board. So no worries about that. In no way am I becoming unhealthily attached-been there done that. lol and I have learned not to ever get attached to someone or something because in the end, you are the only one left for you.
I am so glad you have been feeling good:-)
Keep it up and thanks again, keep in touch, Kristen
