Paperchain says a BIG sorry and HUGE thanks

I cannot believe what a stir I caused last night. I am so so sorry. More than words can say.

I had been drinking heavily, plus took pills which exacerbate the effects, and crashed out very early. The next thing I knew there were Police and paramedics trying to get in to my house. I managed to persuade them I was okay and then they left.

I am indebted to DG and deeply ashamed of my behaviour. Thank you everyone for your concern. The last thing I wanted was to draw attention to myself, or to my family. We are very private.

My mental health is a problem. But I am trying to do whatever I can to help myself. I have been for years. But my threshhold for dealing with life's events is so low that things push me to my limits. And whatever I do, nothing seems to work.

I think I will have to leave now. I am too embarrassed to stay.

Thank you again. I am very touched.

Don't leave, you have a lot of people on here that REALLY care about you.

So glad you're ok, I hope you get the support and help you need x

Flame · 20/05/2008 07:56

I wasn't about so don't know the details, but can hazard a fairly safe guess.

Don't leave though!

You clearly have some fabulous friends on here. These strangers from the internet were worried enough about you to send police and paramedics.

Imo that shows that you do not have to help yourself alone, this is a fabulous community and the support is amazing.

wessexgirl · 20/05/2008 07:58

Paperchain, please stay! Worrying as it was to think the worst last night, I would be even more worried to think of you isolated and depressed, without the support you have on here.

Stick around and talk cheese .

paperchain

glad you are ok

i know you are embarrassed it rather goes with the territory

you are also a survivor

i hope you can begin to plateau out a bit

no idea what to say really

lulalullabye · 20/05/2008 08:05

Papaerchain. We do not need an explanation, as long as you are ok that's the most important thing. Take care of yourself.

pinkydinkydo · 20/05/2008 08:06

take care and be kind to yourself paperchain

southeastastra · 20/05/2008 08:12

i was worried! take care paperchain, i know you know this but alcohol can make depression so much worse

Eve34 · 20/05/2008 08:16

Glad you are ok, you have many good friends here to support you through this difficult time, stay with us we would miss you x

Buda · 20/05/2008 08:18

Really glad you are ok.

But don't feel you have to leave. Please don't feel embarrassed.

IneedacleanerIamalazyslattern · 20/05/2008 08:20

I read the post last night after events had turned out ok and I was sooo glad everything was fine.
Don't go if anything last night should have shown you that you have lots of people here that care and will be there as best they can when you need some support. Some live close by and would have gone running to make sure you were ok. Stay please.

You have no apologies to make. I was just so glad last night that someone had your address and acted and that it was all ok.

MaryBS · 20/05/2008 08:23

We're just glad you're OK. Don't leave, you need all the support you can get. {hug}

LilRedWG · 20/05/2008 08:25

No apology needed PC. Stick around hee, we'd miss you if you went! MSN me whenever you want. x

DutchOma · 20/05/2008 14:41

Don't go, we all care and would be even more worried if we knew you were trying to cope with it all alone. What RL support do you currently have?

cocolepew · 20/05/2008 16:49

I'm very glad you're ok, please don't be embarassed. I hope you are able to get the help you need. Take care.

NotABanana · 20/05/2008 16:51

I am glad you are okay.

Maybe it is a wake up call to seek the help you need?

mummylin2495 · 20/05/2008 17:35

Pc has sought help before Nab.But i dont think she thought much of the follow up care she had when she came out of hospital last year.It wasnt as good as it could of been i believe.

pickie · 20/05/2008 17:37

PC well done for coming back and letting us know you are well! Never checked a thread so often to see if there was any news, keep posting!

frumpygrumpy · 20/05/2008 20:21

PC, if you are reading this, I wanted to say this.

Don't be embarrassed. We're not. We are concerned and we want to build you a tunnel and drag you through the other end. We wouldn't be posting if we didn't.

I have had many, many low moments (granted, I do not know the ins and outs of yours) and MN has pulled me through. Sometimes I have been embarrassed and sometimes not. I have learned that there are people who are willing to hold me up and push me on each time I feel alone and scared and on the edge of the abyss.

Do not cut off a source of support. Good support means listening and not judging over and over and over. And there are many people on here that will happily do exactly that.

Who cares about last night? That was last night. What we want to do is hold you up and keep holding you up until one day you see someone else that needs holding up and lend them your arms.

Stay with us. We can do it all together. No rain, no rainbow. If you fight, it will come.

lilyloo · 20/05/2008 20:56

PC glad your ok you had us all worried there.
No need to be embarassed just glad your ok and you have a fab friend there in DG.

ZipadiSuzy · 20/05/2008 22:31

Paperchain, sorry you are suffering, glad you are ok after last night, please don't feel embarrassed, nobody on here are here to judge what you have been through and feel. Take care!

chipmonkey · 20/05/2008 23:50

Paperchain, haven't seen the thread but don't go! A LOT of people have had meltdowns on MN, it's a support network and it's what we're here for! I know that if my life fell apart, this is one place I'd been guaranteed to find support, which is not always true in RL.

Meandmyjoe · 21/05/2008 08:03

Don't feel embarrassed. I have'nt seenthe thread but I have had a few meltdowns on here too and always wished I had name changed but at the time I am just so desperate for someone to talk to and to know I'm suffering. I hope you are feeling a bit stronger now and sending you hugs x
