Thank You

[mitch4133]

I just got done reading everyone's posts that related to my post, and I have to say thank you to all of you. It made me feel so good that there are good, kind and senstive people, who really do care. I was very upset when some people wrote some nasty things, and I was in a panic state, and my emet was in full swing, and I got very upset. My posts were never meant to cause any arguements, or uproar, they were just my true feelings, and it feels good for me to be able to express my feelings, rather than keeping them in. I am sorry that some people choose to leave, but this site was a big support for me, and I honestly felt dumb after I posted some things.I am sorry to all of you, again, I never meant to start anything, I was just in need of support, and I realized that most of you are willing to give that support, and I thank you.


Thanks again for caring about me, it goes along way. I am doing much better, and I have been feeling better about myself. Again, sorry for all the uproar I caused, I was never looking for attention, just someone to talk too.

I still say that for the most part, this is a caring website, and I dont think the majority of the people here mind topics being posted in the general discussion forum that dont necisarily (sp?) deal directly with emet. I do agree with one thing though, we do have to remember that this is the internet, there is the potential to get hurt. However, I also say, if you feel someone is being whinney, whatever, ect......... the just dont post a response, no one is making you.

With that said, if this is a place where you feel like you can unload some of what is going on in your life, then that is great, I for one, dont have any problem with that. I hope that things get better for you and that you are able to get out on your own soon, and not be dependant on this boyfriend of yours!!

Michele, Don't worry about it. Some people put down what they are feeling at that moment without thinking of hurting people. I don't like personal attacks on people, that hurts so much. When you have a low self-esteem and someone knocks you down it is twice as hard to get back up. So with that said continue on with your posts. If people dont likewhat the posts says than they should go on to the next one. They can contact you with PM. Now Michele you have a great day. As far as I am concerned all of this crap is over, lets continue on.[img]smileys/smilies_01.gif[/img]

I agree, Michele, you should stay. You have been very supportive to others on this site and you deserve the same respect!

ah theres no need to leave! if you like it here then stay.[img]smileys/smilies_04.gif[/img] if people dont like certain posts then all they have to do is not read it. simple.

Of course you should stay. We all really do need eachother. I am sorry that even I just posted some things that may have just struck a nerve, but the thing is, is that we are all different and I say those things hoping that maybe you or someone else who has recently hit rock bottom will realize that it can always be worse, and even though life seems like hell, you are alive and what a wonderful gift. I want us all to begin to live and stop feeling so cursed. Let's be here for eachother, but as a source of strength. We are all going to give different approaches with our compassion, some of us coddlers and some of us with that tough love approach, and i think someone else said it before... the point to remember is that we are all here in the same boat and most of us have the best intentions.


I had therapists for 10 years that happily took the role of handholding for me, and my emet only got worse. not until about 6 months ago when i finally found my present psychologist had i ever made any progress. and no, she is far from a hand holder. I do understand that what works for one of us does not necessarily work for another, but it's worth a shot.


Mitch, do stay here. get the help and support that you need. we are all going to hit our rock bottom here, it's bound to happen. don't feel bad about reaching out, that is why the board is here.

Hey Michele,


I am glad that the support has helped you some. Sometimes all a person needs is someone who will listen, and so you can get out the bad stuff, and gain some confidence. I too hope you decide to stay. [img]smileys/smilies_01.gif[/img]
