Gosh, I dread to think what would have happened to me a year ago if I'd have read that then.
But that's cos I'm just a person with a "psycho" illness so it doesn't matter about me, eh?
I think you deserve a hug, mug of hot tea and a pat on the back.
I'm sure that going through what you are going through, is not easy. It can be scary, frightening and lonely.
And I think your post above shows this. Instead of getting some moral support, you got replies that were very different to what you hoped, which made you get very defensive. It's all understandable.
:think:
Now that we got that out of the way.
I can't see anything wrong with any of the advice (in general) that anyone here has given. There has to be a moment when you realise they are all trying to help you. Now that you realise this, I would urge you to consider what everyone replies as helpful, interesting and insightful.
People here are trying to help. All their advice is useful. There's no reason for any more drama or combative language to continue.Goals

Hiya and thanks for your replies.
I don't want to keep being combative at all but I've just got fed up with lots of people taking a pop at me because they don't agree with my post, what I'm asking for and/or all the decisions they assume I've made.
If people wanna give me an earful and bother coming onto my thread to give me abuse, then they deserve everything they. I think the thread could be reduced by several pages if I could delete all the posts that have no bearing to my original problem.
But anyway, as always, I thank positive posters and I have considered and picked up a lot of advice and information from a lot of the posts. I just wish the negative people stay off my case and just let me be.
Thanks again,

To be honest, I don't particularity care. I'm sure you have a 'story'.
The point is you're not working, you're going to college (probably just to get the student loan you'll never pay back), you've got kids, you've got a crapload of debt. And the state is paying for it all.Hope over Fear. #VoteYes0 -

If you don't care, then why post?
Why would you possibly come and waste your precious time of a person like me?0 -

AngelPie78 wrote: »Haha!!! Seriously? I have been called an ALCOHOLIC on this forum and you're asking me how I can be judgmental??
If you're referring to post #117 then I think you need to learn the definition of a metaphor.
You could try here.Also, the guy above clearly said he knew me well enough to judge me on SIX facts. I was merely judging him right back.
Nope. I listed six facts we knew about you.
Whether you consider a list to be judgemental or not is up to you.0 -

People like innovate?
You mean people that have over eight and a half thousand thanked posts on here for the fabulous help and advice they have given for free to people on MSE?
I consider innovate to be a good friend on this forum, and I think you would be at a very great loss to cut yourself off from the good advice they have to offer.0 -
Doh! I knew it was a metaphor and I think that I said it was in bad taste - which it really was. But that's just my opinion...
erm...no you clearly judged me. You prerogative.
My argument, is that people who "don't care", "don't agree" and "want to ignore me" could just do this thread more good by not bothering to post?!
But then that wouldn't be controversial enough for them, would it?

Ok well I don't know him/her or you from Adam, so I don't give a monkeys if he's a good friend to yours or not. He clearly doesn't like/agree with me and has made judgements on me based on what I've chosen to disclose on this forum. If he wants to give me all of his fantastic wisdom, then he could should have and not insulted me lol Also, he's ignoring me now so he's very unlikely to be giving me any help in the future, is he?
I don't consider this type of post very helpful to my situation but people like you just can't leave me alone lol.
Am not one to stay away from a fight so if you provoke me, then you'll get a response.0
