I luv this site so much, gets so much support from here...
THings are getting pretty weird on here though, with people posting suicide, articals on scary things and it makes alot of ppl obsess about it, 3 of my good freinds that i met from here yrs ago have left and i doubt will be back.
This is just a post to put my feeling across, i only visit the babble part for medications reviews and for general questions and support, i may also pop over to the other parts !!
so please guys take in consideration if you are suicidal plse get professional help, cus for me those thoughts pop right into my head as soon as i see a post and i am sure for many others, same goes for other things, especially topics such as a certain drug cause sudden death etc etc, brain tumour found in suicidal patient etc etc.. its so scary, i know those persons who do post things like that want to keep ppl informed but its scary and can add more problems to whom are on that medication or who are suffering from ANXIETY, i came accorss loads of old posts about things like that i aint going into to much detail about it though.. but it scared the hell out of me and made me stop a certain med i was taking and no it wasnt the effexor..
anyways plse just think before you post info.. hope i havent affended any body and dr bob sorry if i have... things just dont seem the same no more..

Hi Chick,
I totally understand what you are going thru. When I would read bad things my fear and anxiety would go thru the roof. My suggestion is to not read the posts that would seem to be negative. I know it is tempting but if you read it you will get upset and that is not good.I do think that people should be allowed to post bad/negative things if they need to express themselves and need support. I feel we learn from this and can really draw strength from it. I am sorry you feel this way and hope you stay around.

You can look at it this way, people who post about suicide are trying to get help. They probably feel alone and unheard. Talking might help prevent a suicide.

Today's news in the pharmaceutical journal...
'Generic Mirtazapine tablets 30mg are now available from PLIVA'
Maybe you won't need to use the SolTabs anymore!

Donna,
After I began Klonopin and times were really tough for me, I had to take a break from this site. It was just good for me to do that. Like you, I can be really effected by negative posts. I certainly understand the need for folks to post to vent and seek support, but we do have to look out for what is in our best interest.
Every therapist I have seen has discouraged me from participating in any message board forums, like this one, at times that are difficult for me and I'm not able to "handle" the information posted. A break was difficult for me, but I did see how it was good for me to take a break. My anxiety can make me very able to get a little obsessive and very effected by the information here. I had to quit reading and posting. That helped me. Please, maybe consider a break may be what is good for you. I like hearing about you, but I want you to do what is best for you.
Do what is good for you. Maybe a break isn't what you need, but it's something to think about? We are all differently - we react to information differently and we process information differently.

Certain messages will always provoke anxiety in certain patients who are going through the same thing.
But I don't know who else to tell that I'm suicidal. I've told every doctor I know. If I tell my mom, she'll probably kill herself.
This is the only place I have. This is the only place where I might find somebody who has a good suggestion.I really hope you can get better crazychick, but this board is about peoples problems, some of which will hit home to others as well.

I know what you mean crazychick. I'm sure you weren't attacking any members of the board. Sometimes I think reading things you would normally not be bothered by can seem depressing if you are in a vulnerable state.

If you're not able to tolerate any such messages then why do you visit this site.. I am telling you right now.. there are 100's of new members that visit this site and suicidal posts are always going to be a reality.. I just find it disturbing that you're criticizing people for reaching out..

> As a previous poster says if you see a negative post that you think will affect you then just don't read it.I think it's fair to say that a mental health site is pretty likely to contain the occasional post of despair, or suicidal ideation. It doesn't take very long hanging around here to find that out, if you didn't expect it in the first place.
I think it's important that a person becomes aware of how to limit their own experience of being triggered. If they're feeling vulnerable, it may be a good time to take a break from the site, or hang around a board with less likelihood of such posts, such as Social.
It might also be a good idea if people put descriptive elements in their subject lines, as a warning of the content within. Some use the "trigger" warning, generally, while others just give a hint of what is within.
There are two sides to this communication issue, but there is no right side. Any one of us can be on either side, at different times. Some of us may need to reach out, while at the same time, others of us may need to close up and pull away. Both are appropriate here.

Larry,
I wastn't taking sides, I was just expressing what I felt. The poster who posted the initial thread asking people to be more sensitive to the feelings of others when putting their posts up, needs to take a look at some of her own past posts before complaining about other peoples!!
Double Standards comes to mind, also this site is administered by "Dr Bob" not CC. I'm sure if Dr Bob had a problem with any of the more possibly "upsetting posts" he would have re-directed them to social babble and it's ultimately for Dr Bob to decide.
Anyway that's all I'm going to say on the matter.Denise

Please don't be sarcastic or post anything that could lead others to feel accused or put down. I've asked you to be civil before, so now I'm going to block you from posting for a week.
If you or others have questions about this or about posting policies in general, or are interested in alternative ways of expressing yourself, please see the FAQ:
http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/faq.html#civil
Follow-ups regarding these issues should be redirected to Psycho-Babble Administration. They, as well as replies to the above post, should of course themselves be civil.
Thanks,
Bob
