Perhaps I am so totally self-involved to not see what everyone else is seeing; so I will remain clueless. I'm sorry that some are finding this place not to be a safe haven. I have also had problems in the past, but I have come to see the forums as a disfunctional family. And with any family with SO much mental illness, we just have to take one another with a grain of salt, add a whole lot of forgiveness and patience, and keep one another in our thoughts and prayers.
As for those who threaten to leave, and especially those who warn that they are going to kill themself, I'm running out of patience. This may sound cold and insensitive, but if you're not coming back, don't drag everyone else down who may feel these forums beneficial. If you plan to "check out" then this isn't the place to tell people. Talk to a priest or something.
I once posted of some unhappiness with this site, and perhaps that in itself was wrong as my post wasn't very supportive, but I never intended or threatened to leave.
Anyway, if you can't be here any longer for ANY reason, PM the people closest to you; but keep it private--As for wise woman's post, I'm not sure your post fits in the category I'm referring to, just thought yours was a good springboard to jump off on.
Blessings to all, and I consider so many here such an encouragement to me, so thanks, and I hope you'll stick around.
Love,
Jon
