Whats going on in our community?

48 Replies

I hope I don't come off as angry BUT.. Im pretty annoyed...

Last night I was reading posts n started realizing I had my mouth open in aw..and I was also finding myself talking outloud about what I was reading.

I know its been said here before BUT...it needs to be said here again...

Haters...Aren't accepted here n not worth anyones time responding to them.. I have responded.. n stopped..u get nowhere..let HU know about it and take action.

None of us (to my knowledge) are doctors!! Don't act like u r..giving medications and dosage instructions ! Lives can be at danger !!

We need to watch our WORDS in our replies to others!! Say what u have to say, BUT don't push ur opinions on someone else..thats not helping the matter!

Boundaries..knowing when to step back when talking to someone else and LISTEN !

This is not a dating sight..unless Im missing something here??? Also... If people wanted to meet up with one another...I think they would mention that on a PM and not publicly in a post??? Maybe Im wrong...?? If ya wanna flirt..do it on PM. Its about RESPECT to others!

People r on this site to help themselves in a more private/confidential way and not on Facebook/Twitter.

Im on 3 communities here on HU and Ive noticed only on Depression n Anxiety this is happening...???

This all sounds like stuff u learn in Kindergarten..playing well with others..manners and etc... ..so people..remember why we r all here....

HU recently posted to the members : HU has asked it's members to report anything to them that members are concerned about and they would make the decision as to what posts and comments are or are not appropriate and they will take the action they feel is necessary.

best wishes....

in reply to fauxartist

im fully aware of all of that n just said all that in my post..people aren't getting it!

in reply to

If you don't like some of the stuff on here you can scroll on past it and give it no attention. If it's someone nasty the report and ignore, let admin deal with it.

If people want to flirt then let them, is it really doing any harm.

Last but not least, try not to open your mouth in awwww to much, it scares the flys . 😉

Have a good one.

in reply to

scrolling past it doesn't solve the problem..too many people want to skirt past problems or issues n not get involved..thats why great things go to shit!

it does do harm in my opinion to openly flirt publicly on a post.. because it puts our community in a different light.It can be done on a pm.

in reply to

If you like it don't get involved with it, if it's bad and it's ignored then the post will drop on down the board and out of site, you can also report it.

Flirting is harmless... What do you think should be posted on the forum?

freedom of choice to speak your mind monkeysmiles.i must admit ive seen people have disagreements a plenty on here nothing about hating or dating mind you maybe Ive missed something.your right though one misread word on here could cause problems.i see misused words everyday but hold back against saying anything as people would alienate me and that's not right.

in reply to kenster1

thank u !!! :) I didn't choose to wake up n write this stuff..id much rather post something else..maybe funny to help another in need.

Alan!!!! Haha. In my humble opinion, I don’t see anything wrong with having a laugh with our friends on the forum. I don’t know of anyone that is trying to hookup on here, but ya know... Forum love is strong. 💖

I agree with you. Politeness and respect are good things.

I just feel like when someone mentions anything, they should just say what they are talking about lol. I’m nosey! Share with the class! No, I’m just kidding. I understand. I just think that there’s nothing wrong with having a laugh on the forum. It doesn’t have to always be about the sad or dark times. We all help each other & that’s all there is to it. If it’s inappropriate to the point it needs reporting, then report. Otherwise, I don’t see an issue. Anyway, I’m off. I don’t want to cause drama. I was having a laugh with you all to make light of a potential post that could turn badly. Love you, kenster! 💖💖💖 No flirting, I promise! Lol!

MariaLove123 in reply to

Totally agree! Not because I wanna start drama. I just want to know about the dating post too! I don’t mean any disrespect to anyone on this post. I think we should be able to have some laughs sometimes. I don’t want to feel like I’m tiptoeing on what I say. Something is always going to offend someone unfortunately 😕

Wow.. Im PRETTY HURT by some of the replies..its all good though..its everyones opinion.

I think it may be time for me to move on... this was not the environment until recently.

Well wishes to all my FRIENDS :)

in reply to

Why move on because people have a different opinion than you?

You can still use this place, just don't expect us all to think the same way.

Jimmy is right Monkeysmiles! And I’ve actually laughed recently at some of your humor. You have amusement in you too ☺️

in reply to

Hey now, you shouldn’t leave. If it’s anything I said, I was just yanking Alan’s chain. That’s one of my good buddies. We don’t always have to agree, but we love you & I personally love your funny posts! It really makes me smile when I was down the other day. Please stick around. We are all in this together. Oh, & I love monkeys! 🐒 💕

Alan234 and DistressedMermaid....do not apologize for lifting the mood of a site that is very dark at times with a little humor....listen...for those of us who have been here for a while, we do this to keep from going even more nuts sometimes. If you don't have any joy and laughter here too, what's the point of having a site where healing is supposed to be supported, remember ...laughter is the best medicine.

in reply to fauxartist

Thank you, Faux. I was just having a good ole time with Alan. I seen his post & couldn’t stop laughing because I knew he thought it was directed to him about mama anxiety. You know he loves to spread his good vibes with all of us. I just adore him. And I wanted to show that maybe it isn’t always what it seems. I hope you’re having a fine day, sweet thang! I miss Bev already, it seems like forever since I’ve spoken to her. Love you lots!!!! 😘😘😘

our pal is still here, just on another group...always can say 'Hay!' on a pm, good to let her know to come back home to us..... and please honey....this kind of thing is silly to me....we are family that has been to war and back here, and we need some fun and happiness...never apologize for that. We have enough of the bad stuff to deal with....and love heals...and baby brother Alan is always the one who cracks me up, and I am so happy to see my friends in good humor. Be happy honey, we all deserve too.

I always LOVE your advice Faux ❤️ It’s always real honesty. I have my bad moods like a lot of people on here, but I’m still human and have humor too! I like to joke around and be silly sometimes. We deserve to have fun too sometimes! No one should ever be judged or called out because they’re not being serious. It’s almost like accusing them of being heartless and uncaring towards the site. If someone doesn’t like it, scroll onto something else. Be happy for people when they are in good moods being funny and joking around. It doesn’t feel so dark when you let out some goofiness. And it certainly doesn’t happen often so just let them enjoy it! XoXo 😘

Sorry if I got the wrong end of the stick here and hope I haven’t offended you in anyway,I do have a tendency to post tongue in cheek stuff and if you don’t know me this may seem offensive this forum works well ,most of the time we’ve all got physical and mental problems and would be too busy kite surfing or bungee jumping to be looking on here if we didn’t hope you draw a line under this and stick around.

Please don't feel that way, it's someone's opinion, isn't that why you write on this site? It's not always going to be what you want to hear, like you wrote what you felt and some got a little hurt, they'll get over it. You be You I think that's wonderful!! We're on this site to help each other let's NOT forget that, having a laugh sometimes is a good thing. 😊

in reply to

Don't leave because of some miscommunication or some naysayers. We should feel free to express ourselves on here.

Admin recently restated the rules of engagement here, they are quite clear and easily found. As we all know, social media can become a happy hunting ground for trolls and those studying for the trollhood. Anything offensive don't respond, report it to Admin. This must be a discord free zone to work well.

I saw the post too. I think the person maybe was confused about the purpose of this site. I suspect he may have figured it out after reading Monkey smiles post and all of the responses.

Are you referring to me? I wasn’t trying to make a joke at anyone’s expense. Monkey posted to the site, & I think it’s fair that we can feel free to comment whatever we want, ya know? I did reach out to monkey on this post to let him/her know that I wasn’t trying to offend them, but also, everything is going to offend someone. I don’t think we should be told what to say or not to say by random people, ya know? Unless it’s someone that controls the site. Like if you don’t like what someone posts, don’t read it? You know what I mean? I think we all have a right to say whatever we want when someone posts. Again, I wasn’t being ugly to monkey, I said I liked monkeys previous posts, but I disagreed with them on this one. I will continue to voice my opinions. I still love you kenster! 🤗🤗😘😘

Hi Mermaid, I totally agree with you, it would be hard to write on this website without offending anybody no matter how well meaning they are?? People are being so politically correct and sensitive these days that they want to tell others what they can and cannot say, now coming to an OPEN forum trying to control my FREEDOM of SPEECH??? I will continue say what I want...I promise not to use curse words and not call people names to hurt them.😊

in reply to Want2BHappy3

Yessss! Thank you. I’m glad I’m not the only one. I’m not trying to hurt anyone’s feelings, but at the same time.... Come on. This is the Internet. We are all different types of people with different opinions. Nothing that was said on this post was bad. Sooooo, I don’t see why anyone should be made to feel like they ran monkey off. I hope he/she comes back to see that we do care & would like for them to stick around, but who knows. I’m almost over coming on this forum. I can find this drama on Facebook. I want to be here to feel better about myself, not worse.

I don't feel comfortable writing on Facebook, family and friends can read what your saying...I only write on Facebook to say Happy birthday things like that, I'm pretty private about my personal life. Here no one knows me, so I can say what's going on with me. My family and friends judge me because of my anxiety which I've been suffering off and on for about 36 years. My kid's isolate me as a way to deal with it. A friend of mine who has been around for over 40 years wants me to get over it. No matter what I say it's not good enough for her, So i don't answer her, she stresses me out.

I haven’t been on here much. Have things really gotten this bad? I stopped posting and will only reply now on posts. Every time I would post something gogogirl would be on my ass.

in reply to

That same user has been judging me about my job situation. And she leaves essays on my DMs! 😦😲 It's another reason why I haven't posted as much lately.

in reply to

Yeah I just reply now. I am not looking to fight with anyone. Life is to short.

I don't reply to haters, but coming to this website you're going have to expect opinions that you won't like? because people come to these websites looking for help. By you telling people what they should not say is hurting the purpose of what this site is for?

I've written asking opinions on medication because Im tired of getting medications that don't work. I've given my opinion on what works for me, people have thanked me. Maybe you should take a break from this site? People pretty much just want to help, you're taking your anger out in the wrong place. I hope you get the help you need? God bless

How??? Do you write on an open forum and say mind your business??? People but their business out here by choice, then get upset cause they don't like what's said??? That's CRAZY 🙃 if those who don't like what they read??? Then stay off these websites and start a journal so you can write what you want to read. That will help your anxiety right???

in reply to Want2BHappy3

AMEN!!!!

I don't know what dating post people are talking about. But I am tired of men who try to make non-mental health conversation. I don't know. I'm not here for that. And I'm not the girl in my icon for the umpteenth time!!! I'm anonygrl for a reason! LOL.
