I'm sorry

I just wanted to apologize to anyone who feel if I come off on these forums as somewhat neurotic. The truth is I suffer severe anxiety and depression and unfortunately sometimes it gets the best of me. In addition I'm also neurodivergent so sometimes its difficult for me to pick up on social ques. So to anyone who ever felt uncomfortable with some of my posts I apologize, I just wanted to get this off my chest, and for others to just be kind and compassionate do those who struggle with this every day.

    @alz480 Dude, I appreciate your honesty. I would rather you get something off your chest and make a friend or two than listen to how much pros charge or politically charged rhetoric being passed off as fact. I hope you find the forums helpful.

    And never apologize for how you feel. You feel how you feel. Pretty simple.

    What did you say on the forms?

    @alz480 Just be the best person you can be. We all mess up on these forums and in life. Anxiety and depression can be devastating at times but worth the effort to fight through it.
    I hope you are getting the help you need.

    @alz480 ~ What a beautiful example of being the change you wish to see! :) It takes courage to admit to our faults, and even more courage to apologize for POSSIBLE slights... Thank you for caring enough to do so!

    I've had my hindparts chewed so badly that I've only got "leg-tops" and "back-bottoms" left, so don't feel alone in acknowledging that we sometimes come across a little raggedy.. We're all here, with our foibles, but your example is a good one. Keep posting-- we're ALL learning from one another..

    But you took the time to say this. That matters! :)

    I think if you hang out here long enough you'll find you're in good company 😅

    @alz480 I don't recall seeing your posts, so you've obviously never said anything that bothered me. I know that neurodivergence, anxiety, and depression tend to come as a package deal (usually with some form of ptsd thrown in for free). As the kids used to say, "been there, done that."

    There's at least a few neurodivergent people here (including myself), so I think if you just be honest and be yourself, you'll do fine.

    All sorts of moods and personal differences, situations including health can bring out impulsive comments from anyone here.
    At least you care enough to reveal your own, and to apologize. I think you must have a good heart..
    Maybe not everyone was offended by your posts but I have no idea because I haven’t seen them under this username. I try not to take negative comments personally and just attribute them to whatever that person’s mindset was in the moment.
    I am guessing this is a different account you’re using now? Anyway hope you can stay and enjoy the forum.

    Thanks to all who have commented so far and yes not only do I have ptsd and I can’t believe I’m about to reveal this but I’m also an SA survivor please do not ask me to go into details just know it’s was not a family member

    Whatever it was, it wasn't your fault. And I hope being here is healing for you.
