i HAVEN'T GONE VIRAL AGAIN, YOU CAN READ MY DR. POST PAM

[Hidden]

Don't understand Pam as there is nothing wrong with your post. All the posts (and replies) go viral actually unless they are locked. To avoid this do click on 'community only' when you post. x

I thought title might have looked negative and people wouldn't bother to read it so therefore an explanation. Viral was perhaps the wrong choice of word. Does anything good go viral?.

[Hidden in reply to sweetiepye]

I think you may have misunderstood a bit Pam as there is nothing wrong with putting a post on saying how you feel. We all do that as this is a depression site after all...

As far as I am aware the only posts which get taken off are those which transgress site rules ie or could be expected to stir up strong feelings in people such as political or religious ones.

I had a post taken off about when I said how Brexit made me feel, but I didn't realise that others would take it as a 'Stay' argument. This resulted in folks getting upset which is why it was deleted. We can discuss virtually anything on here if we could all remain polite and respectful towards others, but posts like this are best avoided.

I used the term 'viral' to describe your post and replies being liable to turn up anywhere on the net for anyone to read. If you lock your posts then usually only the title and a few lines can appear and only be fully read by AOD members.

It's your choice if you want this, but if you don't then you need to click on 'community only' when you post. Bev x

thanks for explaining, I admit to some anxiety about posting. I hate making mistakes and of course I do make some whoppers . Then I have to beat myself up a little.

Hey don't worry Pam as we all make mistakes and we wouldn't be human if we didn't! I just avoid contentitious issues such as the big 3 - politics, religion and sex. I take the rules to mean these can be part of a post, just not the main issue.

I always think would I introduce this topic in a roomful of strangers? If the answer is no. or I am not sure then I don't post.

Make a deal - I will stop beating myself up if you do Bev x

[sweetiepye in reply to Hidden]
