Having just read a post on here where someone was quite mean to someone else who was just trying to help I wanted to put out some positive vibes....who wants to join me?

Since finding this website and taking a while before building the confidence to post I have found nothing but support and well wishers. Sure sometimes things are said that we may not always like to hear but I myself am grateful for those people. Sometimes we need to hear things that maybe tough to hear in order to move forward in a better way. (I hope to try and remember this next time I get frustrated with therapy and what a therapist has to say !!!turn smilewinkgrin ) Many veteran users have helped me in a big way by pointing out tough things in a sensitive manner. Sometimes we just need our eyes opening to things.


So, in the spirit of the title of this post..... thanks to all that have taken their time to post replies when I've been in a rut. So my thanks go to myself09, BlueCat, momscricket, heatherleegal, scaredycat, Gr8, Ariadnesthread ,alohaknown ,Bnotafraid,pitmom. You've saved me from sinking deeper and I'm extremely grateful you're all here.Anyone who's currently stalking this site and unsure about posting; go for it...you'll find nothing but support and useful insights. Getting another persons perspective on your situation might just open up some light at the end of the tunnel that you hadn't seen before. :-)

In posting this I've ticked off one of todays 'to do list' items....do something positive and productive with your time to distract from the worry of returning to work tomorrow. Hope it's helped someone.
Keep up the good work people. xx

p.s. was the response you mention in the A/P forum, and was it recent? Do you see it as something that a moderator should address? Please e-mail me and let me know, as I may have missed something...

Scaredy Cat,

You've already dealt with it. Just wanted people to know that their efforts to offer insight in a tactful and sensitive manner is valued. The individual who tried to help this person has helped me greatly and I hoped if they'd been upset by the exchange they'd see this post and understand their contribution is valued by me. xx

BT,

I'm glad that things are looking up for you! After reading your post I can't help but say that "ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING!" Everyday I try to practice keeping my head up and even though my feelings are in the deep end I try my best and pull it around. We're never going to have great days everyday and that's ok but we need to stay positive in our lives regardless. After being a part of this forum, I definitely learned to be closer to my family and friends and that I cherish them more than anything. Good luck and I hope the best for you BT!

Aloha,

-AK

I do try to think positively occasionally Gr8! Positive vibes often get lost in all the **** in my mind day to day. I find I'm often trying too hard to do nice things for everyone else and can be positive about other people but not about myself.

When I was younger I was a very excitable child at times...I think it's why I love children...that feeling of no cares in the world and just accepting things as they are. If only we could bottle that innocence and carefree take on the world.

Sorry, I'm just rambling on about nothing really...just need to write sometimes rather than think!

Writing is a form of self counselling, so it's a good thing to do. Keeping a journal is sometimes very helpful to get rid of anxiety. When stuff keeps going round and round in your head you don't get the same clarity as when you put it on paper.
