Ok since my last post were deleted due to my "rambo" style approach, I'm going to try to get my message accross one more time a little softer because what I have to say is good information and I think could be usefully to some of you. Here goes, positive thoughts bring positive results. Be grateful for what you have (health, life, job...) and not worry about what's missing. Daily give yourself confirmation that you are a good person. Enjoy your friends, family, outdoors.... walk, swim, hike, jog get outside even it its raining or cold and do some form of exercise it helps sweat out the junk and keep your mind busy. Try wheat grass shot they taste like butt, but will do the body GOOD. And be kind

You are right. Positive thinking does help and spending time with the family helps as well.  We all have to stop beating ourselves up but it can be more difficult at some times than others! What is Wheat Grass Shot???? Sounds nasty but if it works, it's worth a try! Thanks for coming back and using a kinder approach!

Yes that was quite rude of hyper now wasnt it? After all you came back here trying to apologize and yet you got attacked for it. It doesnt feel too pleasant does it? Well that is exactly how I felt yesterday when I was apologizing to everyone and you came in and started in on me again.

I am not here to argue with you, that was yesterday, it is done and over with. As I have said over and over again since yesterday...I did not mean to offend anyone, including you.

That was not my intention, what I was trying to do was to get you to see how you were sounding. The way that you worded some of your post made it sound as if you were bragging and rubbing it in their faces because you werent hurting like they were. And you sort of came off like all they do on here is feel sorry for themselves, and that is not how it is at all. Sure there are days when someone isnt doing well, and they may want to have their own pity party, but everyone has days like that. You know the days where you just feel like nothing is going right and why even bother.

If you take the time to go back and read through some of the older posts you will see that. There is more giving and taking of different advices and there is a huge amount of support from everyone. Ive been coming here for a few months now and at first there werent many new people, there were alot of regulars, but now there are so many new people visiting this forum daily its hard to keep up with everyones stories.

Right now my brain is like stuck in idle, but someone in here made another forum on msn. It is more laid back, and easier to navagate. There is also a spot where you can post your story that way you can just go there if you need a refresher on who someone is. Its a great idea. I joined earlier today, have not posted anything there yet but I am a member.

I will be the first to admit that I do not usually forgive many people, or give them a second chance once they p*ss me off (who am I kidding...I NEVER give second chances)because I have major issues when it comes to trusting people, but for some reason in this case I just feel it is the right thing to do, so as far as I am concerned I have put yesterday behind me and I am all for giving you another chance. Like I said before, obviously I read and took it wrong by the way you worded it, but I do and even did understand what you were trying to say yesterday, I was just in a sarcastic mood and got carried away with some of it. And of course when you are being verbally attacked you retaliate and attack back which is what I did.

Hyper....I think thats was pretty rude of you I'm trying to apologize for my actions as well as be helpful, I wasn't making light of anything and I have gone through w/d before myself so I don't take it lightly. All I'm doing is offering my advice and some different ideas... but thanks for making me feel bad for reaching out, thats helpful!

Wheat grass is a type of grass that is used to help cleanse your system, you can find it at most juice bars or health food stores, you can have it added to a smoothy so you don't have to taste it or have it in a shot form, either way its got tons of antioxidents, vitamin b, and gives you a natural energy boost. I take one before I go to yoga and it helps get me throught the class. I've found yoga helps with sweating out toxins and isn't as hard on the body as cardio or weights, plus is really relaxing and again a distraction. I know I was a butthead before but I'm hoping to stick around and get/recieve advice. I am a doula (labor and delivery coach) and most of my clients I do pro-bono, they are young women who don't otherwise have support, a lot of them are also drug abusers... I take them to doctors appts, lamaze, coach through the birth experiance and sometimes help them for the first week or so once the baby is home. These girls go through w/d as well as the babies so trust me I me if I'm not dealing with w/d the advice I find on here can still be helpful. I know w/d is hard I've been there and I see it all the time, but the things I suggest won't hurt to try and do help. I'll see how it goes I may have burned my bridge before I even crossed it, and if not wanted I will leave....

I know you mean well.  Had more to say but had to delete it.  I really wish you would find another place to post your advice.  I went through some serious acute withdrawal.  If you were posting when I was on day 14... I dunno.  I'm on the road to recovery now, You don't bother me.  I worry that your posts are making lite of a very difficult time.

Day 31, ready to do what I gotta do!

Thank You Everyone and Good Luck To You All!!
