I'm kind of put off by some of the popular threads on this forum in particular, such as the diet one and the "have you taken your meds today?" but that's my problem and I'm not making a big deal out of it, but whenever I say something to try to help someone, I'm attacked and not always by the original poster. I wish I never joined this site. This isn't the first discussion board I've had to either delete my account from or be banned from and I should learn my lesson already. I'm just sorry that I wasted everyone's time.

No, Vap. You're one of the seetest people I know online and you are very sympathetic. I was feeling very similar last night because of my own bipolar but, you and SG were there to hear me and give me some comfort and that helped. It really did. Also there is another member here who has a lot of problems but, he's a tough old soldier and I thought to myself "If he is still here and posting when he sees someone in need then, why should I leave? If I can help just one person then, shouldn't I stay? I know what I am and I know that I scare people and act like a jerk sometimes and it makes people want to avoid me but, sometimes that's not it at all. Sometimes it's because other people are jerks or they're just too wrapped up in their own worlds to notice anyone else. And also, you are going to run in to people online who are haughty, snobby, snooty and arrogant. You are also going to run into queen bees and their cliques who think they own whatever forum you joined, you're going to run into "N00b haters" and "lulzers" who like getting a laugh at someone elses' expense. I've been through this on many a forum and either gave up and left or got all bent out of shape about it and ranted until everyone else turned on me. It isn't anything you have done wrong that is making you feel this way. It is the illness itself. When you log back in send me a message. I'm here for you and so is SG. We are your friends.
