1) If posting your real email address is uncomfortable, you can get a free anonymous email account & new address from yahoo. Lots of people here do that. It's pretty easy to set up. You could pick a name like SimusBabble and the last part would be yahoo.com. But, you'd have to be willing check 2 email accounts.
Here is the url for setting that up...
http://mail.yahoo.com/?.intl=us
2) Also, when you post your new email address, don't type it like you usually do. Type it in plain text like this:
whateveritis at yahoo dot com
See what I mean? As oppossed to whateveritis@yahho.com
This will prevent you from getting a lot of junk mail at that address. Spamers look at boards like this for addresses to use.

Simus, Don't do that. This was a very difficult situation. When someone sounds as suicidal as Sandy sounded those first few posts I wanted to send someone to her house. Intervention isn't always pretty but in the long run it is what the person truly needs. Whether she wants to believe it or not, she is in a crisis and her life is in danger. Sandy needs to check herself in to a hospital and quickly! You were being a wonderful and caring person and I hope that you continue that course. Life is precious! God put us here to help eachother even when it isn't popular to do it. I hope that Sandy continues to post here and talk with us but she really needs professional help. Mrs. C

Hey you guys, Feeling like the lex is not working around your time of the month is a common occurence among us veterans. It prompted me to increase my dosage. Just a thought. Mrs. C

Mystic, I completely understand how you are feeling. I have very mixed emotions about it too. I respect Sandy's need for privacy but on the other hand her posts clearly implied that she was planning suicide. I went to bed sick to my stomach that night. I think that Dr. Bob did the right thing by calling the police. Once you kill yourself, you can't change your mind.
My personal email address is pamandart@verizon.net. I really would like it if you and I could still chat even though you feel the need to take a break from the board. You need your "e friends" this week. I know that the shower is Sunday and I want to be there for you. I hope that you are feeling better today. I have some issues I would like to discuss with you too. Please email me if you want to. See Ya. Mrs. C

Emily, I do understand. Some of you are trying to recover from some very emotional problems in your own lives and come here for SUPPORT! Giving it is great too and you all do a wonderful job of that. But Sandy's situation is beyond the realm of what we can do on this board. She needs professional help and I hope she decides to get it. In the meantime, I am open to talking with her here because I feel that I am in a place in my life where I can support her. Not all of us are and that is okay. Looking forward to your continued posts. Mrs. C

Sandy, I don't think the intention here was to kick you off the board. But many people here are dealing with alot of anxiety issues and come here for comfort. Reading your posts was very disturbing to everyone because we all CARE! I am urging you to seek professional help. I think that Lexy's idea of checking yourself into a hospital is a great one. I hope that you are considering our advice. I hope that you find the peace you are looking for. Mrs. C

It will pass. You'll feel better soon, for me it took a few days after my period began. I have been a 15 mgs for about 2 weeks now and I am so glad I increased. My period this month caused no anxiety problems at all. A huge improvement from where I felt last month! Hang in there! Mrs. C

Hi, Sorry you feel alone but you are not! I am here. Do you check the old board too? There were lots of posts there. I know that Lynne is on vacation, Mystic is taking a break, Simus won't be posting anymore and Lexy and K have posted on the old board tonight along with some other new people. How are you doing today. Do you have your period. Everyone else seems to! Even me! HA HA. Weird how it seems that all of us are getting on the same cycle! It really just dawned on me but it really is so. Everyone who has their period say "I". Sorry all you guys out there. Mrs.C

Hi Ali, glad to know that you are doing better. You are so lucky that you don't have pms to deal with anymore. I asked my doctor to take everything out for me since I don't need it anymore, but she said NO. How rude! Anyway, hope you continue to do well. I am sure things are looking brighter for you. Good night. Mrs. C

Poor Baby! ((((BIG HUG))))Everyone has been talking about periods, and PMS and such, and I am all through menopause, so I have just been bouncing around the other boards. I hope you have received some good input; looks like a lot of people have had similar experiences, eh? Glad that part of my life is past:)
My grandsons are keeping me busy - we rented "Radio" tonight. Hope you have a nice evening. Sorry to have neglected you:) ...jlynne

MYSTIC! hey oh good, looks like some of us are still here:) i am feeling ok today, i got through the meeting that was what i was worried about. i hate work meetings, i dont know about any of you guys. The paxil is going alright too but i definatly need to increase the dose, that will happen soon.
i cant wait to talk to my pdoc for the first time, i need to tell him that my anxiety seems to be here more than i remember it being before(before the meds).
Im glad you are doing ok, dental work is no fun but i bet working in a dental office u must have the healthiest teeth!;)
have a good nite and thanks for the reply.

awwww. thank you so much Jlynne, u were missed i thought we lost u for good:( Im glad you are getting to spend time with your family, i can't wait till i have grandkids, or even just kids for that matter.;) these are things that i look forward to. How was 'Radio' it seemed like a sad story when i read the back of the movie box. I heard 21 Grams is supposed to be a great movie too but it supposed to be sad as well. I just discovered that we have a drive in close to my town and i am so excited because i dont think i would get anxious in that situation, i can finally see a movie on the big screen again! yippie!!*big smile*
thank you so much for responding, and all the help that you brought me (belive me you did)
even if we eventually drift off these boards(hopefully only because we have gotten better) then know you helped someone and many others stay strong and encouraged us to keep faith.((big hug back))
nite. and sweet dreams.
Magdalena
