I'm discouraged

PB... I rarely do this... but you need to log off. you need to seriously consider counseling... you need to see someone who can help you deal with all this shit you pile on yourself.

It's not healthy. We're not therapists. We can only help and listen and hold your hand so much before you need to acknowledge that the problems are deeper.

Seriously, seek help.
 
please god not again.

stop with the pity parties.

it is so old now.

get some self esteem

and stop asking for constant sympathy for overblown dramatic nothings that happen in your life.
 
Hon, I know that feeling .. I know where you are. Believe me, you aren't alone. Sometimes that's the only thing that helps me through those times .. remembering that.

:rose:
 
Because it's embarrassing. You come here to vent and get some support and instead are told to get professional help.
 
I agree. Sometimes it can be good just to let things off your chest, especially if you don't have someone around you can always trust.
 
Totally understandable Siren, but if I were PB.. I would have been completely insulted by the responses on this thread. We don't know a dang thing about PB, maybe she is seeing a therapist. Maybe she is taking meds. Coming here is a way to help ease the pain of the daily grind.

She knows what she needs.. she doesn't need a handful of people suggesting she needs therapy.

And for someone who responds "would have been better suited to a PM" a time or two, that was one hell of a post you just left.


PacificBlue.. if you ever need an ear. :)

in no way was siren out of line. PB has been totally out of line for a few, and I'm sure she knows this. Lickey was as well, fortunately she found her, well we all know what she found. Good for her....and we can only hope PB finds hers as well. Besides, that siren just kinda blows real, real...yup she does. ;)

huh? :confused:

Licky what?


it must be late.. because none of this post makes any sense to me.
 
PacificBlue, you know where to come when you feel that way. And here you are.

You know you have more friends here than detractors.

We all feel that way from time to time, we need a friendly shoulder to lean on, and a friendly ear to whisper in.

Literotica has those.

Just for you.

Now it's early, and it still makes no sense to me, either.

I agree with Licky's comments that PB may be already getting the help that everyone is telling her she needs. We don't know. But there is no requirement that says someone has to be helping themself in the way WE prefer that they handle their problems. If PB feels better by posting here and asking for someone to listen to her, then that is what she should be able to do. Those who really are tired of reading such requests don't have to read them. Those who want to offer compassion can do so. It's a big board and there is room for everyone and all styles.

That said, Siren has some good points, too. Sometimes we bring things on ourselves and it takes a third party to point out that we are actually part of our own problem. I think that is what Siren was trying to get to, only in a lot more words. :p If you post here and ask for people to listen, you also have to expect that they will give their opinion on what they think you need to do to help yourself. That's kind of the way the board works, ya know?

I don't think anyone was trying to be mean in this thread (other than the unregistered who doesn't matter anyway.)

Excuse me? Spinctersaywhat?

I never said Siren was out of line, she was totally reasonable in her post. She wanted to know why would someone erase their post, I explained because it's embarrassing. I think what they wrote would have been better off in a PM for PB.

You're right. We don't know whether or not PB is seeing any counselors or anything else. And I certainly wasn't trying to be mean to her. But sometimes, compassion is shown through telling someone that it's time they stood on their own two feet. I respect someone's right to vent, but I hate to see people swallowed up by their own negativity. Sometimes all the hand holding and hugging and 'support' only serves to keep them exactly where they are. Do I know that this is the case with PB? No. But I do know that I have the right to suggest she seek therapy if she posts her woes on a public board.

I'm not going to apologize for what I said, because I said it with the best of intentions.
