I spent the whole morning with my treatment team and I am still here.
Thank you too those who had some very kind, supportive, and understanding words to say to me.
I am going to continue to post here, for now.
Out of respect to those who did show concern and gave me words of wisdom and experience, I am grateful and wanted to post a thank you to those people.
I am no longer going to participate in anything that *I* feel to be unsupportive of anyone, any topic, or what *I* feel, any negativity. I'm not here to do that, and it isn't why I started posting on these boards earlier this year.
*My goal as a participant on these message boards is to support people who need to be supported and hopefully get support once in a while also. (which I have, that will never be discounted)
*My goal and purpose of being here is to also share experience, strength, and hope. It doesn't mean that I am perfect. It doesn't mean that I am narcissistic, it doesn't mean I am cured, and it doesn't mean that I have no respect for people. What it means is that we ALL share some type of common bond regarding mental illness, medication, socially, psychologically, and physically. It means that no one is perfect, and I will continue to support and be here for those who seek it, if I can make a positive impact in their lives' if only for a moment.
With ALL DUE RESPECT and CIVILITY, I will not be participating in anything that *I* believe is negative, rude, demeaning, degrading, etc..
*I* will no longer entertain what *I* feel to be anything negative and most importantly, that takes away from the REAL purpose of these boards, and the reason why I started posting here in the first place. That also means that I will no longer post 'in between the lines' posts, I just will not participate in the negaitivity. Life is hard enough, I'm not here to make it harder. *I* will now be able to choose as to what I put my energy into.
I've met some really wonderful people here, and I thank you to those who have shown support, understanding, and maturity towards me, and I am blessed to be able to help you with all that I have and with what I know how to at this moment.
This has been hard for MANY people here, including Bob. It doesn't have to be.
This board is not about me, nor do I wish it to be, nor do I feel or think that it 'should' be.
I am not here to be 'friends' with anyone, if I meet a few and that happens, then wonderful, all the more blessed we are.
I had a slight medication change and I need to go to fill the script now.I wish everyone that passes through this site, whether they stay or not, true happiness, peace, and understanding.
Best Wishes Always,
KristenPS~ Bob, I apologize for being uncivil in one of my posts. I was having a really rough time, and I didn't think before I wrote that part that was deemed as uncivil. I realize that.
I apologize.
