Update

[Grey]

Well, it looks like Patryn is going to be OK. I'd like to thank everyone who kept her in their thoughts and prayers, and you already know what I think of the nay sayers.

I mentioned to her that people here were concerned, and wanting to send something. Nothing personal, but she wasn't too hot on the idea. The internet was part of what got her into this mess (no one here, the asshole she met in January), so she'd like to kind of break contack with net friends for a while. I have no idea if she'll be back, and if so when. She just needs to work on healing and getting her problems solved right now. But yes, she's going to be fine.

There's a lot of good people here, and some not so good ones. Personally, witht he replies I've read, it wouldn't be the worst idea if she did take a break for a while.

Thanks for the update. Please give Patryn my best.

Yeah, what the lady said,,, pointing to quote^


Can't wait to see what the trolls make of this thread either,,, slimey, withered hearted, sorry sacks of Siberian sheep shit that they are, you can count on something being spewed out shortly

 

[Grey]

Yes, yes, unfortunately I'm sure of that. Some people don't seem to have learned the social graces yet. And considering this is an 18+ site that's pretty damn sad.

I hope everyone understands that your kind wishes went unappreciated, it's just the whole net thing in general she wants to avoid for a while. And onece the trolls go to work, I'm sure it'll become obvious why.

 

[ShyGuy68]

Grey please give my best regards to Patryn too, and tell her that we will still be here if she decided so come back

I also suggest that the trolls keep their big mouths shut on this thread!

 

[Dreamer1]

Grey, please wish her my best.
ShyGuy, I don't know if it is possible for that group to keep quiet but wouldn't it be nice?

 

[Sparky Kronkite]

Hmmmmmm......

Of course my best to Patryn but super curious - wonder who the asshole was - the one she met - sent her over the edge?

 

[Sonora]

Still wishing Patryn the best as she recovers. She's lucky to have a friend like you Grey. Thanks for the update.

 

[forgetunome]

I wish her the best! I understand her wanting to stay away. The important thing is to take care of #1 and that is herself!

 

[Deborah]

You all bought a big load of shit and seem to love the way it tastes. Raymond Burr would be proud!

 

[Dixon Carter Lee]

Deb, please...it doesn't matter if you're right, you haven't proven anything or convinced anyone so why keep telling everyone they're being dumb? maye you're right. I don't know. But I think people have clearly said that they don't care if they're being duped, they'd rather take the chance that the situation is sincere and offer support and sympathy because it's more in their nature. They have a right to their feelings, and it IS feelings that are involved here, not facts, so please leave them be. It's clear you think you've got a handle on the situation, and I'm not pissed at you for pointing it out , you're just telling the truth as you see it, nothing bad about that -- but until you bring a more substantial smoking gun to the table I think it would be more graceful to drop the subject for now, don't you?

As having suffered from depression for a great part of my life, I would like to say this: If Patryn did in fact attempt suicide, than she is in my thoughts and hopes for recovery. If this all was a scam for pitty, then I do pitty her. It's a shame when someone feels they must do things or make things up just for attention. Hell, I hid my depression from people (even friends and family who were "close" to me), and always put on a "happy face" for show-n-tell. When I resorted to self-multilization(sp?), I always hid it. I didn't want anyone to know what I was feeling. As Wizard said, the net did NOT make Patryn DO anything! I mean, come on! This is the net. Sure, I've made tons of new friends because of this computer. Hell, I've even met tons of them OFFline... But still, it's the net. It's meant to be fun, NOT serious! Well, there's my two cents plus change.

P.S....

Like Deborah and Wizard, I did not hide when writing my post. No trolls here! Congrats to Deb & Wiz for not hiding like some registered members feel they must!

Going to be OK????!!!!?? She has never been ok!!!!!!!

Oh, poor me! I'm so simple minded that I have to use a ploy to feel good about meself. what a crock of shit this whole thing is/was!!!

pure fucking stupid dim witted witch.

you guys been had by a master manipulator

Okay, that one was slightly uncalled for. Grow up and get a life! http://smilecwm.tripod.com/cwm/angryfire.gif

This is very disturbing either way. Grey could very well be telling the truth but I can't understand why Patryn wouldn't want us to send her something to the hospital or her home. If I were feeling low, (and yes I have been clinically depressed before)then getting a card or some flowers from someone or a group of people showing that they cared would make me feel a lot better. I understand the privacy issue but I know that Laurel would be very discrete. If this is the not an empty attempt to elicit sympathy then I wish her the best but if it is, I still wish her the best and ask her that she seek some type of help, this is an obvious cry for help and if she she needs someone on the board to talk about her issues she has a few supporters on this board that are willing to listen.

 

[Wizard]

AAAAaaaaaaa Hiding something maybe?

[Guest]

Hiding something maybe?

BINGO!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Grey]

Holy typo I just noticed I made. I meant to say your kind wishes weren't unappreciated, not went unappreciated. I really need to learn to proofread huh?

While I give Deborah and Wizard props for speaking their minds under their own names, I still think those comments would have best been kept quiet. I'm not telling anyone what they should and shouldn't say, but there's an issue of tact to be considered here as well.

Frankly I don't blame Patryn or anyone else for not wanting to come back here. And Wizard, I didn't get "caught" in anything, I really didn't think I'd need an e-mail address for as little as I planned on posting here. And no, the net didn't make anyone do anything, but it was the worst in a long list of bad luck and bullshit. There is such a thing as influence and everyone has a braking point.

Patryn isn't hiding anything. She's had some very bad experiences, one of the worst involving the net. I think she posted about it, since you all seem to know something of it. She'd just like to stay away from it for a while. Why is that so hard to understand?

I'll just retreat back into the shadows I came from now, seems that was the best place for me after all. Some of you people need to learn that just because you have something to say doesn't mean you should say it, even if it's your 'right' or whatever. How would you feel if it were you? And what if Patryn does come back and see this? What do you plan on saying to her if she does?

[Wizard]

I don't have to explaine myself to anyone here..........I have some friends that I talk with often .......If it were me folks would be hearing the same storie from a few diffrent folks.......That would all know first hand what had happends and other would be hearing it from names they all know...........Come on Bad e-mail add.....many holes in the storie..........Hell Laurel even offered to help out and you turned her down...........You just don't sound like someone that cares that much about her........If it was skitten or a friend of mine I would be putting my home add. out for folks to send things to.........this is the time when she would need friends if in fact this is true..............

 

[Renee]

I'm glad to hear that things are going well for Patryn, I hope they continue to get better as time goes on.

 

[Wizard]

Hey Grey , Tell me something.....How is it she could be so bad off and yet maybe coming home on monday.....see I worked for mental health years ago and if she didn't hurt her self she would get 4 days in the hospital mental floor......then they would see if she need to stay longer .....I find it hard to belive that you say she did hurt herself and yet she is coming home.....

What about that? can ya tell us ?

 

[Shelby]

When my father was hospitalized, he didn't want any contact with anyone.

YAHOO, Patryn is coming through.

Real or imagined..does it matter? I'm a Virgin (Oh, lost that) but the outpouring, on each side, was real. If Tiggs or Thumpie baby was gone tomorrow (only picking 2 great names
out of a bottomless hat) wouldn't we all miss them?

 

[Myrrdin]

I don't have to explaine myself to anyone here..........

Then why are you asking for personal information from other people? Give them the same rights you give yourself.
We all have the right to privacy.
We all have the right to believe or not what we read.
But what happened to the values of tact, compassion, humanity?
Wishing you well, Patryn.
