dear granite - i definitely do not see you that way.

No, you're not. Not at all. You're a hurting person who needs support.

I think you're reacting to mcl's thread about learned helplessness. I'm sure she wasn't making any comments about our needs to be heard and to be validated. And if, indeed, there are people who think we're too attention seeking - well, my message to them is 'bug off'. We come to these forums to share.

I have seen you often offering support to others. You are a cheerleader and you will join in in 'pocketriding'. We have a real community here that for the most part support and encourage each other. There will always be some commentary that maybe will push our buttons or trigger us. That's the risk of a public forum like this. But, Granite, please please remember how excited people were a few days ago when you were able to talk to your T. That was a genuine and honest reaction by those of us here on this forum. We follow your journey because you are so honest and so brave and you represent to us the kind of courage that we all hope to gain ourselves someday.

So, I'm with Anne. let all of us "Attention Seeking *****s Unite" and embrace this fact that we must and we need to share and to support each other. There is a lot of love going your direction Granite, just like you send a lot of love our way.
Thanks for this!

my name is granite and i am the luckiest person in the world to have so many people who are willing to give me attention even when and especially when i am being horrible.

not that this is any excuse but i had a bad moment yesterday and things that normally wouldnt affect me i took way to personally .it was just all bad timing with my son contacting me and bringing up a lot of bad feelings that i have been trying to calm the whole week .he hurt my feelings very badly when he was home and i wasnt ready to hear from him yet

any way i would love to have this horrible post deleted but dont know how to contact anyone to have it done.cant someone please let me know how

thanks and hugs
granite

granite, I saw on the other thread that you were triggered. You aren't doing anything wrong here.
