while looking in reference in another forum, I discovered, to my horror, that bits n' pieces of our discussions are being pulled into their discussions and are being taken out of context and ridiculed. I was under the impression that this was a big no-no on MDJ. If I know that, how come the group leader who did such a thing does not seem aware of this fact? Secondly, how come the members who are a part of both forums did not comment on the fact that they are 'witch hunting' and stop the behaviour sooner? There are some members of our group who are members of their group. It bothers me that those combo members feel it's all right to humiliate people with statements taken out of context. And it humiliates me that these certain combo people seem to feel a certain way on this page and then feel completely different on the other page. Can we, as individuals with bipolar,not have the right to feel safe? Have the right to express our thoughts and feelings without having to worry what other forums think about us? Where is the respect? As for those 'combo' members, you know who you are, you know what you're doing, and if I were you, I would feel ashamed at what you are doing. Pick a page and let us have our own space. And yes, this is my opinion. But this is also something I feel strongly about. We are told not to slam one another, and then we are slammed unknowingly in another forum. Just for expressing ourselves. I am very tempted to copy and send this to Roy. But at this moment I am to livid to make a decision about that. I am giving it a couple of days. Oh and to the combo people, if you feel the need to copy paste an opinion from this forum, Copy paste this *#*#*#*# I've been practicing
You cannot change the future because you don't know what it holds until it is here, then it becomes the past, and why worry about the past since you cannot change it.

I'm trying to think if I ever said anything that could be quoted and taken out of context, and ridiculed...ummm, yep. Please keep us posted, I don't know which other groups you're talking about, and I don't want to know right now because I'm trying to stay serene, particularly about the bipolar vs. SO conflicts...

Edyn, the thread has been locked. My opinions are just opinions, and should be taken as such. I am not an expert on medicines or BP disorder. |

All of them?? I think not because I found way more than one!!! I was severely disturbed at what I saw! It is not fair! It is wrong of the worst degree! I could go on and on! They've already chased one of our own away! I've been trying to forget how abusive those things were! Purely my personal opinion, I'm not any kind of physician.

Lovely, Edyn, I would tell Roy. It's a blatant abuse of the rules I am not a Dr and therefore are not able to provide medical advice, the opinions I express are mine and based on my experiences and should not be taken as anything other than my opinion.
You awake as if from a nightmare to find yourself standing in front of a blank wall, dazed with no idea as to how you got there.
You feel something in your hand. You look down to see you are holding paint brush, you are confused. Out of the corner of your eye you see a table, on that table is some paint. The colours make you feel happy and safe, you look to the other side, and there is another table with paint. The colours are dark and remind you of your nightmare, a chill runs down your spine at the thought of it.
You look back at the canvas and see something you missed before. Now you understand. you chose a colour, and begin to paint.
Above the wall was written,
Your life

That's really jacked up- haven't seen it yet... but GRRRR! Your joy is your sorrow unmasked. And the selfsame well from which your laughter rises was oftentimes filled with your tears. And how else can it be? The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain. Kahlil Gibran

SEE its reasons like this that I dont look into support groups and seek help....none of what we do or say is our own. And this is also y some shut down and shy away from help from fear of judgement or who has what to say about everyone else.. |

Thats true old me, what you post in the public domain no longer belongs to you and is there for everyone to see and can come back to bite you. You would think tho with the nature of this site that the users would show some respect, esp considering how moderated the forums are I am not a Dr and therefore are not able to provide medical advice, the opinions I express are mine and based on my experiences and should not be taken as anything other than my opinion.

First, somehow it doesn't surprise me that some of you know which forum I am speaking about. Second, The thread was only locked AFTER I commented about it and after one of our own has been banned from the site. Third, I really think that the administrators of MDJunction need to take a close look into this forum. I understand these members need a place to vent, but it appears to me that the venting has turned into something evil and disturbing. With it's group leaders seeming to lead the way. And, I know there is no such word as fourthly but, It hurts to know that Eww was banned trying to get that forum to see what they were doing. She did have issues with tact, but her soul was beautiful. I miss her. I miss her honesty. I'm not sure what her posts were as they appear to not exist on said forum,and after my comment, I was accused of being her under a different name. I hope, If I have the guts enough to bring this to Roy's attention, that she is invited back to MDJunction. I know I would welcome her back with open arms. And that, Bipolar group, is all I have to say about that. I've been practicing

"When I first came to MDJ, I was in need of peer support in dealing with issues of my childhood abuse. I was moving away from the painful issues and trying to find an uplifting group of people to help me transition to a thriver in my life. I found that here. I also found a group of peers with Fibromyalgia and found the same uplifting experience there. My computer crashed and it was a while before I found my way back, this time with issues related to Parkinson's Disease. I had tried a few other support sites before reminding myself of MDJ. On those, I never got a reply. I finally found my way back here and again found very supportive, caring and inspiring people who made me feel like I was 'back home'. Indeed I am." (ThereseML)
