Toomutch · 04-30-2009, 07:20 PM

Gail, It's easy to see that many people care about you... I hope you will stick around.

suki44883 · 04-30-2009, 07:38 PM

mndfreak...why don't you just leave Gail alone? There was no good reason to post that on her thread.

I am not attacking anyone in particular, if anyone else had posted these things that gail has posted, i would have the same reaction to their posts

hippyhippy · 05-01-2009, 11:28 AM

Gail hunny,

I am not sure what is happening. I have been reading your posts, but TBH, I don't always understand them, so I just stay quiet.
I liked your question you posed on your post but I don't think, from what I know of you, that this is what this is all about it is it? I have seen you many times hun, the pressure, or whatever, gets too great and you have a little setback. You are not any less of a person for it. I will be here looking forward to talking to you when you return.
You are honest to a fault hun and I admire you for it. I too still partake of alcohol, but I have never really claimed not to. I definately have a far healthier relationship with it than I had at the beginning of my Bipolar diagnoses, my alcohol problem being tied in with that.

Take care hun

Hippy

I feel like that sometimes, when I feel rejected.
Through life coaching, I learned that it isn't someone else's rejection, it is my own-others simply mirror it for me.
Why are you rejecting yourself?
Love and light~Cheryl

GailJ · 05-02-2009, 04:07 AM

Some one posted that I was going or gone already. It really got to me. I think it was removed cause can't find it now.
I try to keep up my courage and strength. Yet something so small and short can make me want to go back into hiding, back to feeling week, worthless, helpless and beyond hope.
Thanks for sticking up for me.

hippyhippy · 05-02-2009, 04:55 AM

(((gail)))

You are not gone hunny. You are plodding along trying to get to a calmer place in life. Take care sunshine and don't let whatever/whoever get you down....ok? Remember you are a valid, caring, important person....to name just three massive attributes.

Hippy

'''''Some one posted that I was going or gone already. It really got to me'''''

i dont understand, have you looked at the name of your thread?

GailJ · 05-02-2009, 09:29 AM

It was a joke at my expense, Wasn't necessary or relevent to anything.
Have you ever read up on hypersensitivity. Big part of PTSD

GailJ · 05-02-2009, 09:33 AM

When you spend such a big part of life hiding from danger and attacks, You need support while you learn new coping mechanisms, I have become very hypersensitive over the years. If I wanted to open myself to personal attack I would not be on here.
Yes the name of my thread is lets be honest "amongst friends".
I am glad I have so many here. It's for all to share their experiences and have the courage to release their personal feelings without comparisons or judgements with me or anyone else. And to feel safe while doing so.

Not for confrontations cause they don't like me personally.
Hope this helps you understand. PS was on another SB forum not on my thread.

crzylilmndfreak · 05-02-2009, 10:49 AM

""""""""""""Have you ever read up on hypersensitivity. Big part of PTSD""""""""""

I do not have PSTD

"""""Yes the name of my thread is lets be honest "amongst friends".D """""""""

The name of this thread is called "going"

hippyhippy · 05-02-2009, 11:43 AM

Can we not just draw a line here and move on? I can't pretend to understand completely what is happening here but it makes me feel uncomfortable. I have one friend on here who is obviously being distressed by ongoing dialogue with another. I don't care if someone says ten times a day that they are going and they still come back in. This place is for support, for everyone, not confrontations that are of no real use to anyone.

No crzy, that is not what you are doing. Quite frankly, and I have tried to be polite up til now, I feel you are badgering Gail. It seems that wherever she posts, you are there with a comment, a disagreement, a fact. You seem h**l bent on quarrel with Gail.
To add to this, you say you are just giving the facts. Your facts are not always facts, they are opinions from what I have read on other threads, which are very different. Then to compound this, you say you don't intend to cause any distress......poppycock! You know fine it is causing distress but you continue to do it so of course you intend to do so.
I came on to this thread to ask you both to draw a line as I think it is serving no one any good.
I don't intend to get into any running battle with you Crzy. Forum quarrels are generally not my style. I prefer to use them for the purpose that they are intended, giving and receiving support.

Gail, my advice to you hunny is to ignore what hurts you. I advise you to draw a line here too. You know you have lots of support here (as does Crzy)

Take care
Hippy

GailJ · 05-02-2009, 02:11 PM

Hippy remeber you and I at the beggining, I think crazylilmind is there that's why I can't ignore her. In all her anger she had the courage to post she was raqpid-cycling bp.

I am her introductor and her escsape mood right now--everybody needs an outlet. for emotion. Think she is at the beggining of recovery and needs us all.

After all remember us both then/

don't think either of us could post a whole month back than,,,,,

LOL hun

hippyhippy · 05-02-2009, 02:31 PM

Maybe I am getting too protective Gail! You introduced me to here and I have received lots of support in my journey. Even when I completely worried peeps last summer I got so much understanding and friendship.

Just look out for yourself hun. (((gail)))

you too crzy! (((crzy))) ......you will get used to my hippy ways crzy!
