Sorry about your dental bill. My husband and I truly understand them. Hopefully soon we'll be able to go to the dentist without it breaking the bank. At least your tooth looks very good.
I have been going round in my head what to say to her but nothing seems right. I'm angry at her for her posting all over facebook. I don't want to start ww3 but I also don't think I should take all the blame and just take it laying down. I'm angry that she bad mouthed me on facebook several times even IF she didn't mention me by name!

So much reading to catch up with. Thanks for the birthday wishes, but 60 is just old. I'm actually having a pretty down day. Tomorrow is my favorite aunt's memorial service. I've spent much of the week polishing her eulogy. 80% chance of rain and thunderstorms, so the graveside ceremony might be wet and depressing. Oh, well. Those are the extent of my high class problems. Hang in there, everyone.

The only reason I know what you posted, @Mountaindewed, is because someone else pasted it. It was suggested by moderators that I put you on ignore because everytime I post something regarding your situation, you snitch me out. I was one of several people who thought your use of meds was dangerous. You went through the roof when I posted that, & wrote that you weren't looking for advice -- & I heard from moderators.

Well, you probably won't like this, either. Support is a two-way street. I've noted that while others post words of support to other people on the boards, or give hugs, or thanks, you never do. Support should be reciprocal; perhaps if you gave more support, you'd receive more. Just a thought...

Hi @buddha1too I'm thinking of you, and I'll be waiting to hear how your aunt's memorial service went

I’m sorry you feel that way.

Why comment then on my post in the first place if you don’t care so much? Obviously you do if you are taking the time to reply. Or you would have just ignored it.

I don’t hug or thank anyone unless they reply to my stuff because I don’t know who’s put me on ignore and who hasn’t and I don’t want to trigger anyone more then they already are.

So good to hear from you. Yeah the 60 milestone is an awkward one, old but not old enough to be remarkable. You are missed here!

If someone has you on ignore they won't know if you give hugs or thanks; that is blocked.

Buddha can since he mentioned me not giving hugs or thanks in his post.

Intrusive thoughts...having to struggle with them is absolutely draining. But it's great that you drove all that way!

Even if a member has another member on ignore thanks and hugs can still be given.

There was a post on some other forum, maybe the technical one about how someone felt triggered that they were still being given thanks and hugs despite having that person on ignore. I was just trying not to get anyone upset since I do know a number of people have me on ignore. I just don’t know who.

I’ve been pretty stable for like 2 months which is a big deal! Yay!! Super annoyed with AP weight gain so hoping to go down on AP soon (I’m super sensitive with AP weight gain)… fingers crossed that I maintain stability…

I am so happy to hear that you are being very proactive in self care while caring for your brother...

Take a nice float for me

My new Czech psychiatrist was relieved to hear that I had recently been weaned off of my small dose of Klonopin. However, I did tell him that I still have Ativan for "as needed" purposes, though I will say that I rarely take it. I think he likely will prescribe it in the far future, if I really need it. Perhaps your fears about your NP are more than will be the case.
Thanks Soupe,

My T feels that due to my history of never an abuse of drugs or alcohol that she " should" leave it alone, Of course he has no idea what she will do. Centerstone has a policy of no new benzo policy for new patients. I hate that I have to wait until 3rd week to have an appt with her. So I have a long time to worry about it..

That would be worrying. Sorry you have to be on tender hooks for such a long time. Hope they leave things as they are.

Last night my friend- the one who cancels dates at the last second after she's already agreed to them. She invited me out to dinner and I refused saying I have to pay for my teeth still. So she nicely says that she'll pay. At first she suggests red lobster but says "just don't order the lobster". Fine. I'm allergic to it anyway. I said I'd get the steak then because that's all they have on the menu that I can eat. Later- she changes her mind and says let's go to chili's so we both can eat there- its better for both of us she says. (I know that she's allergic to mustard but not seafood. She just doesn't enjoy seafood.)

We get to the restaurant. I'm very hungry. The menu was a QR code. I scanned it but could not navigate the menu at all. So when the waitress showed up I ordered the ribeye because I had my mind on steak from when we were going to go to red lobster. Karen orders a bowl of chili and a side of mashed potatoes. I thought for sure that she'd order the steak too because she often does- its one of her favorites. So that was strange. But we ate and talked just fine. After we ate I thanked her for the meal.

Today, she posts on Facebook that I ordered the most expensive thing on the menu on purpose knowing that she was going to pay. Of course her friends said "oh how rude! I would've ordered something cheaper..." Etc etc.

Of course now I am angry and hurt that she would think such a thing of me AND post her thoughts for the world to see. She made assumptions that are incorrect and I know that if I try to defend myself that she will want me to confess to purposefully planning to stiff her!

Rant off!
Last but not least, I am saddened that she could think that I would do such a thing.

Im so sorry that this happened. Her broadcasting on Facebook that way ? She has shown you her true colors. You need to just let her go, she is no friend. Altho its terrible to lose friends but Id rather have one less than to put up with that garbage.

Part of me would want to let her have it but honestly for me I would just remove her from your life. Block her phone number, Email, Facebook, Make sure you have it set to private. If she were by chance to come by your home, just dont open the door. Take that higher road.

I'm sorry that happened.

I know other people have said this forum is cliquish and that’s why new members don’t stay.

Barely anybody replies to my posts .
