First off I want to thank all my friends here for taking the time to support me when I needed it most.
Believe me when I say , this is NOT meant to offend , hurt , mock , attack , look down on ANYONE here. It is simply my opinion.
I am more than satisfied with the support I have been given.
One thing that is bothering me is the fact that I posted a graphic photo depicting a man with a bomb in his mind and a passage from the Bible. This would be very concerning and could be very upsetting to some . I do agree with that . That is not the point I'm about to be understood or misunderstood for. Is this NOT a mental health site?
I'm not here to post pictures to upset anyone and sit back and laugh about it as if suicide was some kind of a joke. It was my cry for help , most likely done in a manner of someone thinking irrationally.
Someone who is suffering from mental health issues. Someone who's mind is fogged . Someone who is desperate . I've seen many posts going into detail of how they were going to end their lives and I totally understood where they were coming from. More graphic than what I had posted. I come here for support and for the most part I get it and try my best to give it when I can. I hope some of you understand what I am trying to get at. This IS a mental health site , and a very good one at that. Which means most of us are dealing with mental health issues. It's nice to get away from the real life problems and check out the game room or even chat or check out the kudo's or social forums. I do it everyday . Sometimes we need help , desperate help , with nobody else to turn to . That is why I posted that . I was not thinking clearly and I may not be thinking clearly at the moment.
I know some of you will understand . Not all , but at least some.
I care about all of you
Believe it or not.

Dear babysteps,

I think sometimes all we can hope for on our hardest days is that some will understand what is in our hearts and minds... and can hear us.
Some won't get it, for many reasons.

And of course the written word can add to possible miscommunications, misunderstandings etc.

I care about YOU!

love
fuzzy

Thanks Fuzzy
That makes sense to me . I appreciate it.
I care about you too . I know it may seem sometimes like I don't, and I never really got to know you personally and maybe in time I will , like many of my others friends here. We all have are own problems to deal with and of course not everyone is going to look at things the same way . I think about all of you everyday and remember all the good things you've done for me and try to forget about the little misunderstandings we sometimes run into. Like I said before this is not directed at anyone in particular . I just wanted to know if it makes any sense. That's all.

Thanks ((( onlyme2 ))) & ((( daynnight)))

Was the post deleted or something? It may have been deleted for religious content. Religion cannot be discussed on the forums as many have strong views. If it was deleted then the moderator would have told you why.

We all know how much you have been hurting lately, expressing your feelings is good. Wishing you well.

Dear babysteps,
I've never felt like you don't care about me,
I've been sort of busy lately and hibernating,
Hope to get to know you more as well

I know where you are, I have been there many times.... But please understand that anything can be triggering to some and not to others..... We do care about you and I'm sure we'll work through all this together like one big family.

See there's another example where my wording was taken the wrong way because I worded it the wrong way. That was my fault Fuzzy.
I know you know I care about you. I haven't been eating properly , a couple apples a day and a bag of potato chips. We'll use that as an excuse this time OK. Luv you furrypaws.

Peg ....If I can't use the word Bible I'm sorry. Never thought that was so bad. I will remember that in the future.

Hello "Babysteps"
I am still learning what can and can not be said on psychcentral. I am still new on this site.
I am seeing how many care for you. I hope to see that for me one day. I don't always have an answer but I am here for you. Mental illness for each one of is like a "timebomb" ready to explode. I go from deep depression to even deeper as if something went off in my head. I did not see the posting but I think I understand the meaning. I might be wrong. Take care, Cathy
Thanks for this!

You don't need to be apologizing to me, I wasn't offended by your post at all. But if your post was deleted there would have been a good reason for it.

Hugs

Dear Babysteps, you ask: "Should I be here?" I might ask the same of myself. We all could pose the same to ourselves.

With apologies to Emma Lazarus...
Give me your tired, your poor,
Your oppressed spirits yearning for shelt'ring lee,
The wretched castoffs, shooed from "normal's" door.
Send these, the hopeless, turmoil-filled to me,
For here healing waits and so much more!
Babysteps!
