[QUOTE="rebelson, post: 692522, member: 19966"] To me, that post of [USER=1550]@SomewhereOutThere[/USER] 's is not acceptable. Perhaps ppl need to read over and re-read their posts when on a tangent. I have been tempted myself, to 'go on a tangent', but I wait and it passes. Then, I am glad I waited. My goal in life to be KIND to others. You can easily alienate ppl on forums such as this one. Right now, I feel alienated. We, on here, are in a not so great place. OR we wouldn't BE here. Maybe I am wrong. But, I think [USER=1550]@SomewhereOutThere[/USER]'s difficult child is good now. Perhaps we lose touch once it's been years since our difficult child has been addicted. I do not know. But, I DO know that myself, I am a[I] tender-hearted person[/I]. I matter, too! Just because she does not think that 'anxiety' is as high up on the chart as other mental health issues, it IS a mental illness. Also, how do we know that ppl on here divulge ALL their issues? Some ppl, like myself, are quite private. It takes a lot for me to come on here, and post awful issues with regard to my son-my family! Why would I feel comfortable now, when some ppl on here treat others in such a cold way? I think it is just plain old mean to post such a comment and then say 'bye!'...... When other posters behave in such a HARSH manner (without re-reading their post before hitting 'Post Reply'), and it is aimed partially at me (I realize she was talking to others, too) that does have a negative effect on ME. I will now be very hesitant to reply with my honest, true feelings as it might elicit this same type of hurtful and anger-provoking response. How will this affect MY journey with MY son? As I am ON HERE for SUPPORT. Where do I go to now? For help? This is really stressing me out. Knowing now, that I cannot post here, my honesty. My worries. My feelings. I am way more angry than hurt here. And, since last evening, my anxiety is RAMPED up. Some ppl don't care. I am mad that my outlet is now not a real outlet for me. I don't think it's fair that one person can take away someone's most preferred support. And then run away. I also have Asperger's, nobody's business where I am on the spectrum. Did I divulge THAT before? No. Now, I can say that because I have Aspie's, I am a very sensitive person. My Aspie's also causes me to obsess. I am not in a good place right now thanks to this incident. Nobody knows how much others' crosses that they are bearing actually weight. Just because it only appears that I have anxiety to bear, you have no idea of what other things I have weighing on my shoulders. KINDNESS. WE ALL MATTER. This thing is NOT a competition...'my illness is worse than your illness'. Posters have to behave to a certain 'politeness' standard on a forum like this, I know other forums have some type of 'expected posting behavior' guidelines. What I am saying in the end is, I have seen certain trends with certain ppl where they are very harsh. I came on here because I NEED the support on here. Now, I am FEARFUL to post my TRUE feelings and thoughts. For fear of a 'public lashing'. Am I being too sensitive? Nope. I know that others on CD are right there with me in the 'sensitivity' arena.
