    I'm glad you have put AB on ignore as he clearly upsets you cg, and although what he says may not upset others, because of the place you are in right now, he does affect you, so that is the right thing to do.

    Sometimes things people say can upset you, even though it is just the internet, and although I try not to let things get to me, there have been times when they have and so ignore really is the best function to use in that case.

    Hope you're ok today :)

    At least people aren't joining up with AE's to accuse you of horrible untrue things then have some regulars join in.
    Me and pipkin don't always agree but then we move on (well I hope we do;)) She didn't accuse you of lying ( as I have been) she just said maybe it was easier for you to post as someone else, I pretend to be someone else when the double glazing companies ring so I can swear at them without feeling bad :D Tried it with my mum but it doesn't work:rotfl:

    I have had some horrible things said about me on various threads and some do still upset me but I am trying to move on from them and look at the lovely and supportive things people have said to me on this thread. Its hard but I need to do it.
    Take care x

    I have never had anything like that before, I'm either ok(ish!) or down but yesterday I was so hyper then just crashed, like you say I suppose I felt worse because I had been so high before.
    Before I have a seizure I feel very low and I am so sensitive to things people say. After one I am in loads of pain and more depressed than normal.
    Hope you are ok.

    How are you feeling today, sandy?

    Hope you're not feeling too down. When did you last have a seizure? They must be very firghtening.

    I've been in a lot of pain since yesterday, so trying to work through that at the moment.

    I'm not to bad thanks, I do feel a bit restless like I have had too much coffe or something.

    I last had a seizure on Tuesday, its the longest I have gone for the last year and a half. Maybe its all to do with that. It's not too frightening for me as I am totally unaware, its worse for the people who witness it.

    Sorry you are in so much pain, hope you feel better soon.

    Sandy, as you say, we may not always agree, but I don't hold grudges with anyone or forever be snapping at them because we have disagreed.

    OK, I didn't agree with something you said. It doesn't mean either of us are bad people and I don't go out of my way to be nasty to anyone.

    Do try and move on [again, easy for me to say] because you have had loads of support in here and that is what you need to focus on, rather than anything you have thought was negative :)

    I am in a different place to some of you, and I see things differently at times. Sometimes, it's good having a different perspective, even if it doesn't feel like it at the time.

    I genuinely mean it when I say that I hope you are ok, and you know, maybe we will disagree in future, who knows, but I would always disagree respectfully, because it's not in my nature to be horrible to anyone :)

    Actually it wasn't what you said that still upsets me it was something else. Thats why I didn't come back to that argument, I knew it was true so just left it.
    I have had far worse thing said to me;)

    When I am feeling ok its easier to just let it go than when I am in seizure mode if you know what I mean. I don't hold grudges either and I genuinely mean it when I say I hope you are ok. I never say things I don't mean.
