Should I just go? Sparkles.

Hey Sparkles - if you stay, I'll stay. Been suffering the same problems as you and I agree that the site hasn't been well moderated, but hopefully Benedict is sorting that out. I've been having panic attacks over reading comments on here - my hubby isn't happy - but I agree that most people are okay.

Cheers
Ailz

Hi sparkles,

If you stay you will find that most people are willing to give you support and will give you genuine examples of experiences. They will also try to answer your questions as honestly as they can.

Isn't that what's been happening till now, especially in the last two years after some trouble makers were banned?

Can we all stay? ANd just be polite to each other?

I use this site for help but to be honest , each time i've a new problem no-one seems to have experienced it so it makes me feel even worse and probably a good reason to leave.

That gives even more reason for you to stay! I'm sorry I'm not knowledgeable enough to help but as you progress and learn how to cope with your problems, you then become the experienced "expert" to help others who will later experience the same problems you're having now.

I've been having panic attacks over reading comments on here - my hubby isn't happy - but I agree that most people are okay.

Bad news to hear anyone having panic attacks but please remember these people don't know you, some people are "keyboard warriors" it's easy to type words and make them sound intimidating but you have a hubby that cares, doesn't want to see you upset so no harm will come to you. I sometimes pity the type of person who seems to be trying to build themselves an internet empire, it's usually because they have nothing else in the real world.

Anyway thanks to all who post I've learnt lots, I know my own limits as to how disciplined I am with diets so I'll listen but ultimately do things my way. As for getting to know everybody I start noticing my favourite posters quickly!

Just a little note to say…

Thanks to all the people who have PM’d me. I’m a bit insecure about things at the moment so don’t be surprised not to get a message in return but please also don’t feel dejected. It’s just where I’m at. I am pleased to have received all of them, will keep them and may one day feel able to reply to each.

I’m going to read through all the posts here now and shall think about how to respond. Thank you all for helping me in my dilemma.
Sparkles.

I hope this is ok and I havent broken any rules. please correct me if I have. I will also be posting a response here soon for anyone just reading but not posting but I'm still composing it and have to go to town now.

ps short of time in a rush... but Ebony if you are reading this please (Saw your recent thread)see if you can get help with the spots. I know how uncomfortable and worrying it can be and if someone can put your mind at rest that will be helpful to you.
