Hi All, I have been trying to engage in conversation but I dont think I have energy for this. I tried to upload a video but the site does not let me. Anyway, I dont believe anymore that someone is actually interested in something else than going into an argument. So be it.
I would like to thank everyone who has been supporting me, guiding me and simply sending virtual hugs. It has been a long and painfull proces of recovery and I am still struggling with anxiety, stress, ptsd and all what trauma brings. For this reason I have decided to leave this forum as it is going into direction I really dont like. I have never offended anyone, I have tried to support and discuss topics even if I disagreed. I will not be having aggressive tones, I will not be having anyone picking on my nationality or the way I use English. But now I will definitely not be entering ridicolous "fights"between carers and survivors on this forum. Everyone is equal, everyone was valuable to me but I dont think I can express myself freely without being "attacked". I have not bulied anyone, I have not asked for anyone to leave. I have shared an idea to add a "theme" to a post so someone who has a low mood can decide whether wants to read a comment from carer or survivor. I often want to read survivor inside but I dont have a choice. It takes me energy to read through posts to realize at the end it was not relevant to my. And sometimes I want to read "carers" post because I love my husband and I want to understand what he is going through.
I will let you all decide what you want to do and how you want to engage in a conversation. My injury is upsetting enough, I dont need anyone else to upset me just because I shared an idea. I completely understand why people leave, from both side - carer and survivor - we all have different sensitivity.
I wish you all the best and maybe we can "chat" again in a more respectfull and polite way.

I wanted to focus on a solution so we all stay on the forum and we all respect eachother. I dont know however how to make others focusing on the idea because it seems the whole discussion goes in a really bad direction.
I don't have a carer, so the carer post are irrelevant to me.
I also have reading issues, and it takes me a while to 'catch on' that the poster is a carer, and by then I've wasted time reading their comment that is totally irrelevant to me.
To be honest I feel I need to take a break. As someone nicely called it, there is to much "clutter" here and going through everything takes my energy. Sometimes there are things I dont want to read and I have no way of knowing in advance where it is coming from. I am thinking of starting a blog where I could share and have people commenting when they want, I find this forum becomes overwhelming at the moment. I will responding to messages directed to me but I dont want to get involved anymore.
Write this song Steve, I am really interested of the next verse
I agree with your comments. I to have been thinking about leaving, as sometimes i feel that being a survivor I am the one in the wrong. I have a wonderful a loving carer who happens to be my husband and would be lost without him, so to him I say thank you.
Thank you also to the people who have helped me on the forum.
Whatever you choice to do please let it be a postive one i didnt come hear to read about negatively there is to much of it going around without infecting this corner of the internet
