Who knows what this will start | Arthritis Information

 

I just wanted to tell you guys................


This place is more toxic than you realize.

Seriously, get up off your asses, and go outside. Go sit on your porch and call a friend. Go sit out back and talk to your kids, your sister, your mother, your dog, your neighbor.

Have someone take you down to the local park to sit and people watch.

GET OUT, GET AWAY. I can't stress this enough. You don't know how much better I feel, the more I put myself out there in life. And it started REALLY REALLY shortly after I left this board.

You can sit from your little desk at your glowing monitor and tell me "oh, but you have your youth! I'm REALLY bad off!"

f**k that. Youth is in your head. And I know you're bad off. So what? You're only here once. Are you REALLY going to say that you wasted X amount of time bantering on a goddamned online forum about how "so-and-so is SUCH a liar!"

At one time, I looked up to a lot of you. For the most part, I am A LOT younger than most of you. But I come back here, months and months later just to see you all at the same game again. Now, as snotty as this may seem, I feel like I'm looking down on you. And it really breaks my heart.

I like to think that you keep all of your emotions like that JUST on this board. But knowing how people are, I highly doubt it.

You can hate speech me, you can bash me, you can banter between yourselves. I really don't care. In the end, I just want to be able to say that I tried. That I did tell you to get out now. That I did attempt at showing you how horribly wrong all of this is. If nothing else, at least I didn't stand idly by while you all run each other into the ground.

<3 <3 <3

Get up. Go outside. Read a good book. Watch a great movie. Love on your family. BE LOVED!!!
Katie some of us need a support forum and im sorry you feel this way. contributing to a forum like this ( and im talking about the good posts) might help someone feel better about themselves. You at one time gained a lot from here, when you were going through hell and when Justin was ill and you needed people to chat to in your hour of need. Please dont bite the hands that have reached out to you. Maybe a lot of people on here dont have the luxury of going out and grabbing life with both hands, maybe a computer screen is their life line. You and i and lots of us do have that luxury at the moment but i have had days when i couldnt leave the house, this board and many members came to my rescue.I'm not talking about the good posts, doll. :)

You KNOW what I'm talking about. And my ideas of get the hell away from here, still apply.

And you can disagree with me ALL you want, but EVERYONE CAN ALWAYS LEAVE THE HOUSE!

If a 1500lb man can figure out a way to get down to a park to attempt to marry his wife, then WE can f**king do it.


I take no excuses anymore. Nu uh. Life is TOO damn short.

Shame on you and this forum!

If you can keep yourself from having that second slice of cake, or whatever your vice is, you can NOT POST when it doesn't need to be posted.


I'm just sayin. In a sense, we're all in this together.

Shame on you and this forum!

AchingAudrey2008-11-30 11:50:45Well, Im out!

Have fun everyone. <3
WOW!!! THAT ARRISCOLWELL IS A HOTTIE! arriscolwell:  Agree with what you have had to say....................

I Agree! We should never give up living life to the fullest no matter what limitations set in front of us...And this place should be a place we visit to recieve and give support.I do need support from those who have the same illness. I am learning to navigate through this illness and like to read the RA related post. I admit I do not know much about all the RA "ins and Outs" but I am gleening information, and trying to support the ones I have no answers for.  My beef has been with AA. I couldnt help notice how nasty the majority of her post are. I finally did a search on her post and she really has not much to say nice to anyone. ever. I let her under my cyber skin and called her out.because I felt she suxed treating people who are sick the way she does.  As for having a life I do have a loving family, Fun friends, and a nice roof over my head and I wish everyone the same. Peace and Green Frogs, IDK... I get out.. go to sports events.. walk my dogs... dinner w/ friends... and come here and enjoy friendships.. [QUOTE=babs10]IDK...
