Not Posting Anymore

Due to all of the negative comments I’ve received on my last post, I won’t be posting on this website anymore. I appreciate the nice things everyone has said to me from my other posts, but this is supposed to be a support group; not a place where I want to be criticized.

That's a shame. I'm new to this site and think it's a shame how they've put you down.

Don't be discouraged by the few.

Hi I think you might have gone about it the wrong way. If you had said you have written a blog and included a link to it some people might have looked out of interest. I don't think you can expect lots of people to want to read it necessarily.

In other words you do the blog primarily for yourself for others to read if they choose to rather than the other way round. Not a criticism just an observation.

I hope you don't leave the site if it is helping you but just put it down to a misunderstanding of the written word. It isn't the first time it has happened on an online site and won't be the last either. I would be happy to read your blog. Lil xx

Sorry to hear that and you must do what's right for you. Try and ignore criticism (easier said than done!) and post whenever it suits you to suit. Some people on this site are dealing with their own demons and maybe not being very kind!! Take care.

Oh dear, this is so predictable. You asked people for their views and you didn't like what some people had to say. We're all entitled to our own opinions and you asked us to express them. Most people ignored your request but some of us took the time to reply to you. Nobody was being nasty to you and expressing our own thoughts and opinions (as requested) DOES NOT make us nasty, idiots, morons or any of the other insults that are being thrown around in this thread. If you ask people a question you might not like all the answers. That's just life I'm afraid. The world is a very big place, with lots of people who have very differing views.

I had asked for positive opinions.

Because people have different views, you have to accept that it's the nature of forums. Why have you called someone a moron for giving their views, which the op asked for.

One of your replies above

" don't let a few morons make you leave the site"

It wasn't nastiness, it was a reply or two that the op didn't like. Ask a question, accept that not all replies will be what you want to hear.

I looked at the original post in question, and could not really understand some of the comments that came across as very negative. As some people have noticed, there are some individuals on this website who tend to be very negative and critical of others.

Starting a blog and including a link is a good way to share your experience with others, without putting up lengthy posts on this website.

Please don't let others sway you from your idea. I certainly don't think you intend to offer medical advice (as someone implied), nor do I think you are going to include material gathered from the replies to your blog, violating any codes of confidentiality.

As someone also mentioned, you are going to have to learn to accept the fact that there are negative people out there who are going to be critical of your writing. This is just part of life, and if you go into the journalism field, believe me, you are going to have to deal with a great deal of negativism.

I, for one, hope that you just learn from this experience and continue to be a part of this community.

Good luck.

Its not true though no one was being mean to her

Thanks everyone for supporting the OP. I think we have exhausted the discussion. We don't want anyone to feel unsupported here. Unfortunately you will always have certain people who don't quite understand how hurtful words can be. Please be kind. We're in this together.
