I'm new around here and just checking into the borderline thread, but I have to stick up for this person. Some in this thread have been positive and have gotten attacked, and I don't think that's fair. What I think is REALLY unfair is to go after someone by checking their profile and using what is on there. This is supposed to be a safe place for people struggling with MI; I think what that person is comfortable sharing isn't for you to question. And it would be a safer place if people didn't have to worry about being attacked when they took such time to reply to someone who is clearly hurting.

Maybe I am one of the young ones who doesn't get it, but I feel like if we want people to respect our opinions and want us around, we need to be someone people actually want to be around. It's incredibly draining to have to worry about walking on eggshells with someone--believe me, I've lost friends in my past by being just that person and looking back I don't blame them a bit. I wouldn't have hung out with me either. I'm sorry that things aren't going well, that you feel hurt, and that you're struggling with health issues, but how does hurting other people make that better? We all have something going on in our lives or we wouldn't bother with this site. I think it's a good idea to keep that in mind when communicating with others.
