What could be more attention seeking than to post stuff like those !!!!!! AB and co post?

Trying to top yourself is going a bit past attention seeking anyway. If someone wants attention so badly they're willing to harm themselves, then give them the bloody attention. That person's clearly not well !!!!!!.

I'm really beginning to doubt whether he's a hypnotherapist or not. Surely no healthcare professional would be so completely insensitive?

You'd think he'd tread a bit more carefully, given how misunderstood his own occupation is. Surely he suffers prejudice when discussing what he does for a living?

I have no real opinion on hypnotherapy because I don't know enough about it. I know it helps people, and that's all I need to know. Whether it helps people because there's substance to it, or whether it's the positive thinking placebo effect, does it really matter?

It just seems like he's trying to !!!! people off. First it was coming in here and treating us like lab rats, then it was him saying antidepressants are !!!!!!!!, and now it's him saying we're all a bunch of attention seekers. If that's not textbook trolling I don't know what is.

What a grade A !!!!!.

Heya Starshine.

Which thread did he call us attention seekers in? Is it the "Drugs don't work" thread?

Why are you all getting so worked up about it?

If you know you're not attention seeking then why does it matter what someone else on an internet forum who doesn't know anything about you says?

You don't seem to take it to heart quite so much when someone on this thread says nice things!

I know exactly how you feel Meyore... I got so upset reading that thread, I couldn't bring myself to reply:o I just can't understand why people feel the need to stand in judgement of people and problems they know nothing about. I just found it all so hurtful. It just goes to show, inspite of what we get told, the stigma against mental illness is still alive and well. No one would ever talk about someone with a physical illness being attention seeking... it just breaks my heart, tbh.

But maybe i'm just feeling a bit sensitive today?

Much love,

Sazzy xxxxxxx

hi sazzy

you are totally right to say how ya feel, and i agree with you and meyore

there seems to be such a bad thing about mental health. i have to admit, how ever many years i have struggled with depression, i am still trying to understand it. I think some people just like to feel in control. and prob see vulnerable people to attack, which is imho..bang outta order ....rosie gonna whoop some a** :rotfl:



omg some of the things the people are saying, well they clearly dont know about depression, and the way it effects us..

to say "people with depression need to pull there socks up" .....erm nope, wish it was that simple.

mental health effects soo many people worldwide, it is a recognised illness. and people can get better. but it takes time, alot of support, and healing. its no quick fix, and its a long journey, but we can get there.

breaks my heart too sazzie, that people think depression, or feelin suicidal is attention seeking. I have been accused of such, yet if anything i hide what i do to myself, and the suicidal thoughts, well ya just dont talk bout them, unless you have someone special you trust. coz some people just dont understand, and when that happens, there is confussion, when that happens there is conflict, and when that happens there are repercussions.

hope ive made some sense

much love

Its fair enough though, this is a support thread, but we're all getting angry and upset which sort of defeats the object. I wish I could just report all the posts that I feel are discriminating, but the button doesn't work for me

I'm off again aren't I? Sorry, I'm going to drop it now

Ah, Ok fair enough. I assumed it was. He's got an entourage now, has he? Ah well.

I'm off to cut myself while listening to Joy Division. :rotfl:*







* note, If Joy Division shows up in my last.fm list, I'm not cutting myself actually. In fact, I'm going to listen to Therapy? because their cover of Isolation is better than the original.

:hello: Everyone,

I came back because I am still online but please dont take anything to heart what someone says,I for one would hate to see this thread closed down for good as that would upset me greatly as I wouldnt know where to turn to for support when I need them,Just rise above the poster and dont respond that way things can get back to normal again I am sure,it may take a while but I want to see things die down and get this thread what it is supposed to be, a supportive one not someone who is negative and is set out to upset us and destroy all the spirit in this thread,I know they havent been nice to us but please dont get too upset,we dont know them in real life like we all dont know one another in real life as its just words on a screen

said my two pence worth tonight I think and everyone I know this thread can and will get back to normal,we shall not be moved!!!! and also what will Tiffy think when she returns too I so miss her cat pics


Where are you Tiff? we need you here


Right really off now,

chat tomorrow

Night! Night!

love and light,
