snaptoit · 07/09/2008 10:35

Oh ns - we are all here for you. Try and forget yesterday - today is a new day. You are so strong - you have not failed. Start again today

bellavita · 07/09/2008 10:42

I knew that's why you had done it

I feel so awful now, as when I got home from work I just saw that a new thread had been done, I did not read all the posts and just charged in like a bloody bull in a china shop, it was not until a while later that I realised what you had done. You must have thought I was so insensitive.

bellavita · 07/09/2008 10:43

Does your mum know what you have done or have you managed to cover it up?

needsupport · 07/09/2008 10:49

bellavita · 07/09/2008 10:55

Let today be a new day. No more being ashamed please.

needsupport · 07/09/2008 11:04

its not easy for me to shake negative feelings about myself but ill try

bellavita · 07/09/2008 11:08

I know it is not easy for you.

Do you think we try and railroad you into trying to make yourself feel better sometimes when the process is not that quick?

DutchOma · 07/09/2008 11:09

Holding you close in love and prayer.

needsupport · 07/09/2008 11:17

sometimes.then sometimes i need a shake up.oh i dont know.there are times i think i almost pretend to be alright just to stop people thinking im a drain and pathetic.but i know everyones trying to help me to help myself but yes i cant just turn feelings off and on.i wish it was that easy.when i get knocked down it takesme a while to get back up.but i do get back up.

bellavita · 07/09/2008 11:26

why on earth would we ever think you are a drain and pathetic?

needsupport · 07/09/2008 11:29

because thats how i feel about myself so why wouldnt other people think that

mellyonion · 07/09/2008 11:29

hey ns....no one thinks you are pathetic...far from it. we can all se how very much you are hurting, and tryin so hard to move on...

the thing is...we're not able to give you face to face support...so sometimes we all just post messages which are sent with warmth and love, and try to sort of inspire, motivate, suport, understand etc...and i guess maybe sometimes they come across as not being quite appropriate for how you are feeling when you read them, if you know what i mean....

in real life, sometimes, no words are needed, just being there is enough, but if we didn't type, then you would feel alone....and you are not.

i guess we all just want to help you and mother you and be a friend to you, and to help you believe in yourself, and recognise your strengths for yourself, so you can keep moving forwards on your journey..

maybe you could tell us to back off, with the promise that no one is offended....maybe you could be more vocal when you need us, and we can just chat at other times...

i guess what i'm trying to say is that we will take our lead from you sweetie...no pressure at all.

i hope you read this message as its intended...

sending you lots of strength to get through today....

xxxxxx

bellavita · 07/09/2008 11:32

you see melly, you have done it again - the right words!

needsupport · 07/09/2008 11:36

thanks melly but actually im feeling like i need to take a step back from here for a while.to take stock and give people a break from me

bellavita · 07/09/2008 11:40

I will miss you.

differentID · 07/09/2008 11:46

I hope you don't feel like we need a break from you, because we don't. Really, truly, we don't. I was away from yesterday afternoon, so I didn't know what had happened.

mellyonion · 07/09/2008 11:47

thanks bella.

i will miss you too ns...

its fine for you to take a break...of course it is....but do it because you want to, not because you are worried about how we feel...

no one comes to your threads out of duty...we are here because we want to be.

do be sure to stay in touch.....you'll be on my mind! xx

differentID · 07/09/2008 11:48

If you feel, however, you need FOR YOUR OWN SAKE, to take a break, then that's what you should do. You've made such a lot of progress recently, we're all proud of how much you have acheived in little steps.
(((((((hugs)))))))

thumbwitch · 07/09/2008 11:54

Hi NS, glad to see you are still posting but sorry that you feel that we need a break from you - SOOOO far from the truth, all we want to do is help you and be here for you.

So, we will continue to be here for you when you decide you are ready to come back - we'll hang out the virtual banners and have a virtual party to welcome you, because we will all miss you while you are resting.

(((((((hugs)))))))))) to you and j
love and light surround you
xx

bellavita · 07/09/2008 12:03

I am sorry you feel like this ns, you are not a burden, we would not post if we felt you were.

I will be here should you come back and of course, you know if I am logged on to msn, please always feel free to come and say hello.

Take care xxx

p.s. wasn't going to say anything until you received it, but I have sent a little something for you and J via Pyscho (was posted yesterday) so if she posts when she receives it you will hopefully get it by the middle of the week.

MatNanPlus · 07/09/2008 17:40

Afternoon CvQ

I am sorry I have been offline till now.

I hope you don't stay away too long, we all are here because we love YOU not because we feel obligation or duty but because of who you are to us all.

that yesterday built up to the sh but that you can talk about it even briefly is a positive sign.

You are stronger than you think, it can be hard to see yourself as this person but we are looking at your posts and can see the strength in you.

Please stay in contact with people and please don't stay away xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
