I want to cancel my skype and also facebook. I have googled. Sorry, I can't work out how to do it. I need to get rid of them both. Please, can anyone guide me what to do?

Mosp, you can delete every single thing on FB, 1 thing at a time, it is just time consuming, then no-one could see it except the police.

And the police would only be interested if something terrible happened.

Please please think about getting help.

so, am I safe to die?

What time is your friend coming?

Mambonumber4 · 20/05/2012 14:21

Yes they would look if suicide or any suspicious death

Which is why we are going to change your password love.

Ready?

Is your friend round for dinner? What are you going to make, or are they bringing dinner/takeaway?

I'm going to curl up and watch a funny film, I don't have the DDs with me and I never really know what to do with myself when they're not here.

mosp · 20/05/2012 14:21

dd will be home just after 5

you don't know how messed up I am, and how I forever walk deeper and deeper into trouble

What you are saying is really concerning.

molepom · 20/05/2012 14:22

You are not going to die.

SarahStratton · 20/05/2012 14:23

We all do that sweetheart, you have no idea of some of the shit I have got myself into in the past. Really, a few on here might remember but I doubt it.

But it's in the past, and that is where my shit will stay. As will yours.

mosp · 20/05/2012 14:23

ready

Mosp, ready to change the password?

Once you've done that, we'll help you with whatever else you want.

TheFlyingFishFinger · 20/05/2012 14:24

Chocolate and film Sarah Grin it's the only way.

mosp · 20/05/2012 14:24

how do I change it?

WHen you say "am I safe to die" What do you mean by that?

ihatethecold · 20/05/2012 14:24

go and have a big hug with your child that's home with you.

molepom · 20/05/2012 14:24

OK

Top left hand side of the box, click on "skype".

Scroll down and click on "change password"..make it something really obscure if you want, use numbers, captial leters, these little symbols above the letters to make it really tough.

ihatethecold · 20/05/2012 14:25

could your friend come round sooner? can you talk to her about your worries?

mosp · 20/05/2012 14:25

I need to ensure that my private stuff and my shame remains hidden forever. if I can do that, I'm safe to go

I HATE the WWW

Just follow the instructions that appear.

Enter your old password

then the new one twicee in the two boxes below. It will send you an email to confirm these changes.

Log onto your email, click on the link from skype telling you about the new password, then delete the email.

Then you are free to uninstall skype from your computer, safe in the knowlege that there is no info on your account and no-one can guess the new password, not even you.

SarahStratton · 20/05/2012 14:28

Mosp, I use a birthday within my passwords, but one of someone random I know. A child's friends' birthday for example. And I replace letters with numbers - 3 for e, and include a couple of symbols. That makes it very difficult to break, particularly if you chose a random word to play with.

Nobody has shame that bad mosp. Nobody.

mosp · 20/05/2012 14:29

I won't talk to friend about it. Never.

It seems I have forgotten the original password!! So it won't let me change it

Nothing is that bad - you have children that you love. Don't do anything silly that would hurt them. Listen to all the advice

molepom · 20/05/2012 14:30

It's the password you used to log on a few minutes ago..can you remember it?

giraffesCantGoPotholing · 20/05/2012 14:30

Ok you are saying you will then be "safe to go" - is that something you are planning on?
