Hello everyone!
I'm back from being blocked for a week. It was very difficult at first. I was crying uncontrollably for 2 days...I could not soothe myself. There was a point where I thought I was not going to survive, literally. Then I got really really angry for a day, then very sad for a day, then angry again...but now I'm ok.
I don't know what came over me before I was blocked. I was being very provacative and thought people where attacking me when they were not. I think my thinking was bordering on delusional.
I'm very sorry for my behaviour. I hope you guys can forgive me. :-)

uhhh...for what..? ;-)
I think you'll find, for the most part, Babblers have VERY short memories when it comes to what you're describing.
I don't even recall your block. Thought you left on your own. But either way, I'm glad you're back. I remember you sounding like you needed some friends and to share some things that were confusing and hard IRL. Like all of us.
Sorry the time away was so painful...maybe one thing that means is that Babble means more to you than you thought, and so that's a good thing...?
If you want some laughs, look through this board a bit, there's some funny threads lately, IMO...
Jump on in :-)

Thanks so much 10derHeart,I love the way you express yourself. You have a way of writting an opposing view without making anyone feel bad about themselves. Even in my dysphoric state, I could see that you are a very kind person.
I'm going to learn not to take things so personally here. I went a little overboard in my reactions. I'm learning though. :-) No body is perfect.

Shy Girl,
Thanks so much for what you said. It means a lot - I still struggle some days with being unsure if I'm "good" for others to be around, 'cause I can have a sharp tongue. I am working on patience and gentleness - letting them come out, and so you made me feel like I'm succeeding. If I can't be kind and reasonable with people, well, that's not the life I want to live. So, it's important to me - the feedback :-)
It's hard to be depressed for long stretches. I have MDD myself, but I haven't had a "major" episode for quite a while. But even the little ones can be pretty awful. If we can help at all with all the "junk" that goes on with depression, please post about how you feel. Babblers seem to be the best at understanding every thing about it! I know it helps me.
Hang in there. I like your attitude about learning, too. I think it's so important to help give you a purpose if you ever feel like "what's the point?" Depression is quite good at bringing on those bad thoughts! Learning, growing and Babbling can BE the point!

I hate it when someone goes away. And it looked like you were getting more comfy here, too.

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome. I'm going to try really hard to be good and control my emotions. I've already learned from my experience. I learned that I won't disintegrate when I get really really upset.

Well, please also remember, that even if you're "bad" (whatever the heck that is!) and DEFINITELY if you don't always control your emotions, you will still be warmly welcomed.
Shoot, if controlling my emotions or behaving all the time was required, I probably wouldn't have lasted a week....
Point is, except for trying to remain within Dr. B's civility rules, I hope you can just be yourself, 'cause that's who we want to get to know.. :-) - 10derHeart
