[QUOTE="rebelson, post: 692468, member: 19966"] CB, I would bet that you understand that RN, in a daze, IC, nlj and I, all gave you some different ideas out of pure kindness and not of malice. I have anxiety and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)-which [I]are[/I] mental illnesses. Nobody has the right to downplay anybody elses' anxiety as 'not serious'. Mine can be severe and can affect my daily enjoyment of life, for days in a row, weeks at a time. Not to mention the on and off, up and down stress of worry for my addict son. I also have [I]all [/I]of these at different times with my anxiety episodes. These are not just for the 'more serious mental illnesses'. I did not read any 'shaming' comments, except one. This comment reminds me of the shame ball that was being discussed on another thread. I call this a 'hurt and run' post. Thank you. However, after I read SWOT's long-winded drama comment, a sudden rush of anxiety hit me like a brick and has completely ruined my evening. It takes a lot for me to get angry, but I am angry that such kind, trying-to-help posts..could be twisted so. I thought CD was supposed to be 'A soft place to land for battle weary parents'...maybe it's not the right place for me. Where I would go for online support from here? I have nowhere. I wonder how many others have been driven away by 'bull in a china shop' posts. [/QUOTE]
