To my cyber family, sisters; Christina, Faerie, C, my cybermom Roadie, and many cyber friends here, you know who you are

I am going to revert back to lurking and strictly PM and email. I tried to stop being silent, I did, it backfired. The dynamic on this board has changed far too much and I don't feel at home here anymore.

People are individual, I know there will be disagreements and even headbutting, but I can't particpate when it feels and looks like people push my buttons on purpose. I have enough rage issues as is, I don't see the point in my safe place exacerbating my issues. Thats just counter productive, or rather downright stupid, and we all know how I pride my intelligence

This is not an I'm leaving PC post, just saying, PM or email it is because it way easier than sending a mass PM from this damn phone

I'm sorry to here that Trippin. I've always respected your insights, and I hope that someday you will return to other than just lurking.

Thanks for helping me along my journey, even though I might not have said anything.
Thanks for this!
happy 2 b here

I'm sorry too. I've always valued your comments on my posts. But you need to do what's best for you and sometimes a break from PC Is what people need. I hope you return to commenting someday but if not I understand. Good luck! I might pm you for advice on going med free in the future :-)

Trippin-You don't know me, but I JUST left you a message on your profile page today telling you how much I enjoy your post. You have a gift in that you can express yourself well in this medium. Your intelligence shows through as does your compassion. I even enjoy the posts where you get a little p***ed off because I appreciate the fire in your soul. I'm SO bummed to read you won't be posting, but I realize you must do what YOU need to do. I will be hoping things settle down for you and that you feel comfortable posting here again soon. You will be sorely missed. -MP-

Trippin! I love your posts -you're honest, authentic, and balance a great deal of compassion with a drive not to define ourselves by this.

Not everyone is going to interpret or accept or 'hear' what you are saying, in the way you (or others) would always like. It happens. But you're brave to put yourself out there the way you do, though in doing so there's always the risk of misunderstanding, etc. (which seems to have occurred recently).

I of course respect your decision, there's no point if you're not gaining as much or more from this than you're losing, but I will sorely miss you! [I do kind of hope you'll change your mind, though ].

Best of luck to you and

Ahh, you know I'll miss seeing you post, Trippin', but totally understand feeling the need to take a break. Lurk, pop by, it's all good. Whatever is best for you at a given time is best. And remember, whatever else you do, have fun!
(I can't even imagine trying to do this stuff from a phone(!) )

I actually sorta kinda love your more pis*ed off posts - it gave me a lot more confidence in voicing my own opinion, because I have a hard time expressing things when I'm upset or angry.

I'm definitely around for some PMs, and I look forward to the day when you feel like posting all over again!

I missed what was going on as I haven't been online much here lately - but I am glad that you are taking care of yourself and setting boundaries. I've always enjoyed your posts and your personality really shines through - in a good way! Take care, sweetie. xoxo

I will miss your posts.
Appreciate bluntness & a wicked dry sense of humor.
Hope to see you, but only if it's what's best for you.

Trippin,

First and foremost you need to take care of yourself.

I have always found your posts, intelligent, on point, compassionate and I always enjoy reading them.

Please take care of yourself.

Is this because I commented on your signature? I really didn't mean anything negative.

I haven't read any other posts that would have been triggering...

I'm sorry.

Take a break - it's a good idea!! The usuals are still here, even if lurking.
I think I took a month break and came back to a new dynamic, still getting used to it.. But the break was a good thing - plus I was a little busy with my hypo good times..
Breaks my heart when my good friends leave here like Passionskyy & Dan (I understand cuz they were needing support & instead seemingly got railroaded)... Luckily I still have them on fb or email. Come back when you're ready. Much much love sis!!
