Ok, so I think we should have this out

I'm so glad I kept reading this to the end, because "this" is what I'm here for (which is kinky sex, apparently!)

oh lordy. I don't know if I can take any more...ok..off to google.

Don't be derailing the sex thread with jello you thread killers.

Where’s the Hoff?

But....does anyone remember that thread???

I never felt bullied on the old board. I did feel like I could talk about issues, and I tried to be kind and thoughtful to others too. I have had good experiences here, but honestly mostly not for the last few years. This board was great when my sister died, but that is five and a half years ago. I have, I'd guess, 14 years of experience between the two boards. The last 3 have been the only ones when it's been an issue. And yes, some people have been VERY unkind. As I said, suggesting I need therapy because I have a shit ton of medical problems as an example. That's not helpful. When I'm having episodes of collapse and paralysis, there is NOTHING a therapist can do to help me... it's a rare disease that thank goodness I got diagnosed and am now having treatment for. It's something I deal with every single day. But multiple people here are quick to label me as having mental issues, saying it's not real. Just one example. I don't demand anything. I ask for help. For support. Not for name-calling and being mean to me. If you don't have anything nice to say, don't click on my thread. But don't come on and then be bitchy and nasty to me. And yes, I do suffer with both depression and anxiety. I know this. I am between therapists right now as my previous one just quit working here. Since when is it anything but nasty to say things like "you can't possibly have these issues, you just need mental help" to someone who DOES have psychiatric issues and IS getting help?

When I posted the other day, I knew it was risky. I knew there was a good chance it'd be the thing that makes me leave this board permanently. We'll see. But when it gets to the point that, no matter how mild any comment you make is, you dread seeing even one notification afterwards, well, that's not healthy, is it? And that's where it is for me. 

And again: NO, it definitely has NOT always been like this for me. Not even close.

Oh good lord. I am going to have nightmares from those jello pics I was introduced to on 2peas🤣🤣🤣

pierkiss lol Chris Rock's bit is always the first thing that comes to mind when someone mentions tossed salad. "I. Prefer. Syrup."

But why? Why CAN'T we be nice? Politics I understand. But pretty much everything else? Come on! As previously mentioned someone was awful on a freaking DOG thread! I truly think there are people who want to prove that women can't be kind and supportive when they're in a group... sorry, but I think that's absolute BS. There are "big girl panties" threads, that's obvious, but the majority of threads shouldn't have to be! And since when is coming here for support, venting, sharing life in its good and bad times... since when has that NOT been a big part of what this board is and was?

Fascinating.

And much more interesting than tossed salads IMHO.  

Yes! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

  OMG, now that my memory has been jogged, I do remember that thread. What had me literally loling was her insistence that teenagers wouldn’t know what it meant. 

  Didn’t know if it made me some kind of perv, or a military wife of nearly 20 years at that point but I was honestly shocked people didn’t know what it meant.
  
  Seriously people, it’s 2020, year of the Pandemic. Surely a meme could encompass the Hoff, Jello, and Tossed Salads. Just make sure it involves masks, and it’s all good. 

I second that about therapy. Zella I don’t think we’ve interacted before and I don’t know the thread you’re talking about but therapy has helped my fibromyalgia a lot.
