I'm glad to see your post, Hope. I have been worried about you. You did not deserve what was dished out to you last night. I think for most people, there was genuine care and concern for you but their words could have been more compassionately stated. For some, comments were made to merely stroke their own ego, which is a poor reflection on them - not on you.

It was clear to me you were already in a highly vulnerable state so some of the insensitive assumptions made could have had an outright dangerous effect on you. I don't want to see you go but in all honestly, I think there are safer support communities out there. I'm really sorry that on top of everything else you are dealing with you couldn't find helpful support here last night.
