As for facebook just change all the details, your name location remove all pics and put a pic of micky mouse up as your profile....... just change everything.

remove all fb info and change names- then follow previous instructions- It takes 2 weeks to completely remove they said

He is not the same man who hurt you before.

He is a silly lonely little man who is getting a kick out of scaring women online because he is too gutless to have a proper relationship.

Have you had any help to deal with what happened to you before?

KlickKlackknobsac · 20/05/2012 13:04

If you need to delete you can think about others later- get phone no's

mosp · 20/05/2012 13:04

Open another account for them and have highest privacy settings possible, and no photos.

You don't need to die, honestly.

rhondajean · 20/05/2012 13:06

Are you feeling calmer?

TheMonster · 20/05/2012 13:07

Mosp, this will pass.

NormaStanleyFletcher · 20/05/2012 13:07

It is NOT your fault

rathlin · 20/05/2012 13:08

Make sure you delete the actual skype account. Uninstalling it from your computer only removes the software from the computer you are using. You can go to another computer woth skype on it and log in from there. Deleting the skype account is the most important thing to. Best of luck.

iamme43 · 20/05/2012 13:09

open another account using a nickname, invite all your good friends and message them and tell them who you are and that you had a prob with previous account...[no need for details]

mosp · 20/05/2012 13:10

oh shit, no i didn't delete the account. just uninstalled it. shit shit.

OP posts:
rhondajean · 20/05/2012 13:12

It's fine.

Reinstall it and delete the account the way they said above.

iamme43 · 20/05/2012 13:12

just instal it in again and then do the delete task as detailed in one of my previous posts..... no need to panic

mosp · 20/05/2012 13:15

crap. i can't see how to reinstall it

fairyfriend · 20/05/2012 13:15

OP, I've read through some of your posts and you clearly have some very serious issues.
If you are suicidal you need to call someone in RL, or go to A and E.

rhondajean · 20/05/2012 13:16

Google download Skype.

How do you feel now?

mosp · 20/05/2012 13:17

shaking. hard to type. ok i will do that

OP posts:
Mambonumber4 · 20/05/2012 13:21

MOSP, just to give you something to do.

Make a 2 new email adresses, on hotmail with pretend info link the first one to your current email, the second one to the new one

Then go in and change linked email to the second one

you now have 2 new untraceable email addresses

you can use them to create new, anonymous FB accounts you can add onlygood friends to, make the privacy settings high.

threeleftfeet · 20/05/2012 13:21

mosp please tell me, what's going on?

Why did you say "this is all my fault. i need to die"?

Whatever it is you can work it out. Are you feeling suicidal?
