I see what you mean, and I think you're not talking about writing out of frustration or in the midst of the near-mental breakdown so many of us have felt. There is a difference between sharing and helping each other, or even throwing a fit, and the type of ranting that has been going on. It isn't useful. I have seen a shift here, which is unfortunate. Sadly, it takes a while to find the posts like the ones that helped me so much. I have considered senidng a private message to those who are obviously struggling so severely that their rants have moved beyond helping themselves and others, encouraging them to seek professional help. I still may do it, if i can work up the nerve.

ok, this is malarkey.....please don't copy and paste my messages from other posts and try to relate them to something else...ssi is still a serious thing, i still don't think people should go and apply for it just beacuse they don't have money for a bone density test....hello people, it's called your local free clinic, look it up in your phone book or google it...if that doesn't help you talk to your local hospital, i've yet to find a hospital that doesn't offer payment plans on a sliding fee based on income......research before you start dippin into your social security, that's all......and look lady, i'm sorry for what's happened to you, i am, but healing never begins until you learn to let things go...everyone gets hurt in life, but you know what, the world keeps turning....and pointing the blame elsewhere is simply ridiculous, reading posts on a freakin computer message board did not cause your nose bleeds....and if you really think it did, i would also suggest seeing a shrink or other psychiatric professional...and i don't mean for that to come off sounding harsh, but it's true, sometimes people need professional help, and there's nothing wrong with that....there's nothing wrong with admitting you need help....i don't believe myself or any other woman on this board is here to put anyone down or be detramental to the healing process, however, it's hard for some of us to idly sit back and read rants that sound like someone is having a breakdown, ya know, like right out of a movie, stalking doctors and blaming medical conditions on what...message boards???......sorry....had to put my 2 cents in.....i wish nothing but the best for everyone, and i just don't like my words to be misconstrued....
