Unnecessary Abuse

I write to thank Jerry and those kindly members who were kind enough to listen and act for me

I am currently studying for the resit and I am deeply saddened and offended by such cruel and unnecessary remarks targeted towards me

Again I thank all those who were kind enough to take my side and I turn to this site for friendship due to the loneliness of isolation even more so as a result of the virus which is becoming more of a threat until we are all vaccinated

It is agony the loneliness for those totally cut off from human friendship and family

My only family member is my Mother who lives overseas but due to the new mutant form of the virus it is unlikely I will see my Mother for the best part of another few months

Thank you for all of those who understand the plight of the lonely and the alienated

Good morning I hope you are safe and well

I never wish to come across as a victim and I am currently preparing for a resit as part of the Diploma

I am deeply shocked with the new covid variant as I was hoping to visit my Mother but now I will wait for the vaccine

It is hard for all those alone to cope and make sense if their lives

But in Lockdown I have learnt to realise that I am close to Mum but I also realise she can impact on me both positively and negatively

I will prepare for the exam and spend Christmas alone like so many until in time we come out of this situation

I hope you are well and thank you

in reply to Roukaya

Hi I am glad I am with my mother at this time it's very upsetting,although at times we have had bad arguments and don't know the exact story with your mum but there are always too sides, and it is hard for elderly people who find it hard coming to terms with problems there having and I try to foccus on the good things about my relationship with mine, and I don't want to go on about this too much as I prefer to keep it private now. but I feel your very intelligent and sensible enough to turn your life around you showed positivity in making that beautiful Xmas arrangement and I'm still hoping you'll take a nice walk out and show me some photos take care and nothing ever stays the same in life X🌟

Good morning I hope you are well

I will miss my Mother and this is the first Christmas apart

If she had come over she would have been worried about getting back and if I had gone over I would have been worried with the borders

So inevitably to spend Christmas alone

I think as you kindly say it is possible to turn your life around with determination , hard work and self belief

I miss my Mother greatly but I also recognise part of her can impact on me in ways which can prevent me in seeing ahead

She I realise is getting older , she will never change but I can

Thank you for saying I am intelligent and may be this is why I keeping trying because I know I can see an answer but only if I apply myself

I hope you are well and have a peaceful and Merry Christmas

in reply to Roukaya

That Xmas decoration showed your creativity and this shows you are sensitive I often take things to heart too much but I'm learning not to and I guess that's the secret I think keeping busy and the mind on things we enjoy helps but please please do the walk somewhere nice and this will make me happy to see the photos that will be your Xmas gift to everyone that's supported you on here, X

Thank youYou are kind and I appreciate your support

When I get out and about I will take pictures but where I live is not too scenic but I will rage photos

in reply to Roukaya

This will help you take a step back from your problems, we need to give our minds a break from over thinking and dwelling on what might have been just makes you feel worst and is like as callandersgal sue said knocking on a door that won't open and I will never forget that saying, 🌟I am a very spiritual person and I like to look out at the moon and universe and I will be looking out every night and sending loving positive thoughts out to you and everyone and I'm hoping we can all do this on the full moon and although we can't be together this is something we can all do together but apart and will be posting about this.there is so much in the power of thought and if you get your foccus in the direction you want you will achieve just about anything,you will have set backs bad days but never give up and as I never will I will get my life sorted some day somehow and as I know you can and will🌛🌟xx

in reply to Roukaya

Your photos don't have to be scenic or of anything special anything you take will be special to us as it shows us your getting out and thinking of us as I know you will when your taking your photos and observing your surroundings and this will help involve us in with your life as I have done with my walks and as that is what friendship is about sharing and been there for one another I must get cup tea now I hope the weather's good for you today I'll be on later 😁😁😁🌟X

Roukaya, IU hope you are well, it is not only the borders but caring people do not want to put us in danger. My mother in law is 87 she is staying with my sister in law at christmas. We are in our 70's so our grandchildren will pop up to collect their presents. We are not getting together as it is too dangerous. We will miss everybody, when this is over please try to make friends. We found friendship at clubs and the church. Enjoy christmas and remember isolation can not last forever.

Thank you greatly for your kind wordsIt has made such a positive difference to my day

Merry Christmas to you and your Mum

in reply to Roukaya

Thank you I also wish you a peaceful Xmas and it will soon pass to be honest I didn't even realise it is 3 days away my mam had heart attack Xmas day step dad boxing day and with all the virus worry and my own things I have going on I've had lack of sleep and my head's been allover the place some days and I take solace from going out walking as I've said and I'm so pleased you have listened to me and that' I can see that I have helped and as I said it was a effort getting the Xmas decorations out but we get do much benefit from them now, i was in bed too long yesterday and in the house and i won't be making that mistake again as it dragged my mood down,exercise really lifts the mood,I can still take a walk if not many about as my mam gets especially anxious I'm well covered up and I go out in all weathers, I know sometimes low mood can make us feel like we can't be bothered but in not bothering it just makes us feel worst, I am quite a smiley person and this attracts friend and I know we were masks so you can't practice this yet, but smiling to yourself and I mentioned about watching comedy programmes, I'm getting cramp in my leg now as in bed hahaha 😁so must get up X😁😁😁so come on big smile 🌟

Hi RoukayaI didn't see the post either until Jerry made us aware. It is absolutely disgusting, what a truly vile individual who should be utterly ashamed of themselves, but going by the post, I highly doubt they will be!

I admire you for handling things the way you are and not letting this bring you down, you musn't!

Want to say more but have to rush off, but for now, take very good care. Xxx

Roukaya in reply to Jennymary

Thank youHow are you spending Christmas

I have got a horrible messages and it did upset me that soon got resolved and people stepped in quickly and one I managed to resolve myself this person had lashed out in temper but he had his own side which I realised and then he was quite amicable, and as I've said unfortunetely in life not everyone is nice and I have been blown away with all the kindness I have been shown and such amazing lovely people, and I'm so please I've brought joy to so many also through my photos and pixie posts etc, I'm not always strong I'm not always positive this is the worst time anyone's ever had to face apart from previous wars of course,and I totally understand my mam's anxiety it's self preservation, this virus is so clever and the only way to beat it is to be cleverer, and I'm going on again and I wasn't even going to come back on but as always I had to reply to a couple of posts that I couldn't pass by.😊🌟

Roukaya in reply to Jennymary

Very niceI think it is the loneliness which is very hard to accept at times

But through lock down I have learnt to appreciate what we have and trying to cope is not easy

Hi Roukaya, so sorry someone has been really unkind to you. Can I, through my answer to you just point out that we are the Positive Wellbeing community and our aim is just that. Positivity. 99.9% of our members know and understand that, but it's worth mentioning that we are committed to remaining a positive community and have no enthusiasm for anyone who flagrantly breaks our guidelines. It's not about feeling negative sometimes. We all do that, and sometimes we need to discuss it, but we discourage anyone who comes here specifically to be negative. I hope you are OK again now.

Hello, I wasn't aware of this dreadful episode either Roukaya. As I wasn't receiving any notifications from HU last week I assume this is when this incident happened and I am horrified! Abuse of any kind should never be tolerated and we all have a part to play to see it doesn't happen. However, you, myself and other members will take comfort from the fact that as soon as HU recognised there was a problem they took action immediately to resolve the situation. Unfortunately Roukaya, there will always be some people who behave in this manner. The good thing is the lovely people in our Community won't put up with behaviour of this kind as has been seen with their response. Simply put....Right will Conquer Wrong.

Put this unpleasant episode behind you and concentrate on that forthcoming exam in January. Life can and will be good once again.

I'm sending you this simple quote as I hope it will help you as it once helped me.

"May your choices reflect your hopes, not your fears".

Sent with many good wishes.

Very beautiful and uplifting quote I am deeply moved by the kindness of the members in this site including your self

I have understood a great deal about bullies and intimidation but these insults are prevalent in my own family

So sad as it seems through such a tirade of insults I realise I have been through this before

I wish to a Merry Christmas

Hi Roukaya I'm so sorry this happened to you and hope you are ok. Unfortunately the internet is a breeding ground for trolls and some of them troll it looking for people to vent their ire and spite on.You can help prevent it by locking your posts to this community only instead of letting your posts and all the replies go viral.

I did not see the posts but I’m glad it was handled so promptly. Life is difficult enough right now without this kind of stuff. I think your comments reflect a very mature attitude towards it and I congratulate you! Better times are just around the corner!

HiI'm so sorry you had to suffer this abuse. I didn't see the post but no-one should have to put up with this.

All my love Lynne xxxx ❤️💜

I missed it somehow, But there are always aggrieved people around who take pleasure in reducing their own pain at another's expense. It's not nice, and one would wish they stopped and thought before firing off nasty postings. It's unneccessary.

I thought you had been quiet for a few days, and hoped it was just business of some kind, but obviously not.

We are all emotionally stretched right now, and some folk think it's clever to target somebody else, and as for many of us right now these forums are our only contact with others.

I hope you have a good holiday season, with as few problems as possible.

Take care, we are always around at some point in the day,

Cheers, Midori
