Some of you might remember me - for those who do, hi, for those who dont, hi anyway.

Some wondered where i went, others thought i had probably fallen of the face of the earth (well i havent - tried but havnt)

SO i though, after talking with a friend who was on here, i thought i'd come on and see what the fuss was about with Miro. One of the good guys from this thread.

I dont know what is wrong with you Miro, but i thought when i was on here we got on fairly well ( i nearly put fairy there, had to correct it lol) - but we did get on well. I know you have not had great experinaces with women - nor have i. Personally i hvae found them to be (word for female dog) (not all women, but most) - you might have debts but you know something, there are ways around it m8. You cant just give up at the first hurdle. Even if its the 2nd or 3rd or even 4th hurdle, you have to get back up and keep going.

Ask for help if its too much. Just dont give up! - We both are in the same boat. Sure, i have not lost a wife, or kid, i cant understand how hard that must have been on you, but you have to keep fighting for their sake.

If they were here today, would they let you give up? I dont think they would m8.

Keep fighting - its what i have been doing...

I hope Miro reads that. Earlier on today i read about a kid who killed himself after posting on a forum who was depressed - and it touched a raw nerve.

Now, some of you might wonder why i left here in the first place, other might not have even noticed. Let me explain why i left and have still done (only really came on here to post to miro)

I made a few posts over the years, and coming to the end of my stay here, they were either ignored, brushed over or i was told to "chin up" n all that crap. When infact it wasnt what i needed. Sometimes the support i got in this thread was amazing, other times it was ignored with some people messing about.

Ive noticed that also the way the thread has gone, many other people have left too.... i guess im not the only one who felt the way i did!

This thread was amazing a while back - i dont know if it has regained that or not.

Frankly i dont know, but id like to hope so.

Its not the first time ive wanted to come on here and open my heart, let it all go but ive held back and said that i shouldnt as it would be pointless, as when i was here before, sometimes like above posts would be brushed over and nothing made of them.

One of the things, i wanted support with, and help with, and guidance with, is how to come to terms with admission. How do you admit the truth to yourself? how can go face yourself in the mirror after you do this? I still dont know how to do this but i refraned from asking on here due to the fact i feared i would be ignored once again.

Now im not saying i was ignored and you should all look at me - thats attention seeking and thats not what i am about as alot of you older members who remember me will know.

Quite frankly i want to turn back the clock and have the DT i once knew... but its changed so much, for the worse. MAny members left - why? this is the question that has to be asked - why have so many left over the last year or 2. Now i have my theory but i will not share this here.

One of the things i personally was trying to get help with when i was last on here, but didnt find the words nor feel i could even talk about it was the fact i was a victim of a peadophile when i was 4, and i didnt know how to even get started on coming around to the truth of what happened, and yes, i still blame myself to this day but i am trying to get past all that. ALso i am trying to get past my self harm - yes, i still do it, but its getting better each day. Also suaside thoughts, yes, still jhave them and yes id like to get past htem all too... and i so wanted to ask for help, but i knew i couldnt as it would be like talking to an empty hall.

All i wanted on here was the support that there was when i joined at the start of the DT topics but when it was needed, it wasnt there.

Times have changed, for the worse here, and now we can see another person who is on the brink of leaving is Miro.

Fact is, this place i feel has lost the spark it had. Perhaps ive got it wrong, but its how i see it.

I have to add - there are a few people though, id like to thank. Few of you helped me through some hard times, you know who you all are, i dont have to name you all, so thanks.

Hi Mclaren, I'm a brand spanking newbie on here so wasn't around when you were. I do find the community to be supprtive here although do notice some people's posts go unanswered, maybe it was just that sometimes people don't really have the words and don't want to sound like they are patronising or something. I generally use it more as an outlet of how I am feeling because I know that my problems are very insignificant compatted to others which may be why mine dont get replied to as often, people do have other stuff on their mind.

i hope you are feeling better and it does seem like you are coping in a positive way from your post

Miro, if you read this, please post something just to let us know you're still here. You don't need to explain yourself or anything. As mclaren said, you're one of the good guys... and the world really needs good guys.
Drinkupretty, although this is a moneysaving forum this is a special thread which doesn't need to have anything to do with moneysaving at all. You've come to the right place: please make yourself at home. I'm sorry to hear about your experience with an unhelpful doctor, but they're not all like that. I think it's worth trying to see a different doctor who might be a bit more understanding.
Mclaren, if your posts seem to be ignored or brushed over it doesn't mean that people don't want to be helpful: sometimes people just don't really know how. We don't have all the answers, but I know that sometimes just knowing that someone is listening and at least trying to understand can be a big help. Even being able to talk about past traumas is a big step towards coming to terms with them. I think that in time you will come to believe in your heart the truth you already know in your head - that none of the things that person did to you when you were 4 were in any way your fault. I hope that somehow, somewhere, you find the support you need. I hope we all do.
