Guest Saz Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Hey daisy Gingerbreadgirl is right. Really glad your ok though and your opinion is very important to the forum xxx Link to comment
Guest nicolam381318 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 I third that! Just knowing that someone truly understands is a MASSIVE contribution in itself. I'd never had that before I 'met' you. Link to comment
Guest imalright Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Glad you're ok, Daisy xx As you can see, your contributions are obviously valuable to this forum x Hope you feel better soon xxx Link to comment
Guest AJ45 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Sometimes I think we all need a break from the constant reminder of our situation. Everyone who has an account on here has a right to express opinions and be heard, I am so sorry you are not happy on here anymore. , I know Daisy you have had a tough time lately so take care of yourself . I personally have found support and comfort in your posts . Link to comment
Hal Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Come on Daisy, at some time or another there are always going to be disagreements between people on the forum, considering the pressure we're all under (and yes that does include the mod team, we also suffer from all OCD throws at us on a daily basis while volunteering here) and the nature of some of the discussions that take place it would be pretty strange if we all got along well, all the time. It has to be your decision whether or not you'd like to continue contributing and using the forum, but if I'm honest I'm uncomfortable with the way you've chosen to handle this, was posting this topic really necessary when you could simply have taken a breather for a couple of days while the dust settled?

dksea Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Hi Daisy, I wanted to echo the above comments that you shouldn't leave unless you think taking a break from the forums will help your recovery. Even if you feel like you don't have anything to contribute outwardly right now, if at all you are getting benefit from being here, then you should definitely stay and feel welcomed in doing so!

daisy Posted October 30, 2014 Author Share Posted October 30, 2014 Thank you all so very much for your kind and encouraging words,i am really very emotional right now xx Link to comment
daisy Posted October 30, 2014 Author Share Posted October 30, 2014 I am very sorry you feel uncomfortable Hal,the reason isn't only what was said on an earlier thread,i am not that childish. I am very grateful for this forum and all the work that goes into running it. I just wanted to thank people,seems i can't do right for doing wrong,i really do wish i hadn't written anything. Link to comment
Hal Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 i really do wish i hadn't written anything. ........would you like it still to stand or set as invisible, if after sleeping on it you'd like it made visible again that's not a problem, but maybe coming at it afresh later today might help?

daisy Posted October 30, 2014 Author Share Posted October 30, 2014 Thank you Hal,but i have thought about it and i don't really see any reason to remove it,i was really very surprised and encouraged by the replies i received. Link to comment
Caramoole Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Put into perspective Daisy, is this necessary or in your best interest? I appreciate that you are unhappy with my comments, They're not a personal attack on you in any way whatsoever, merely a wish to stop a situation escalating that needn't be, for all involved and in everyone's best interest.......that's all. No-one's comments were suppressed or denied, just a request that we draw a line and move forward from that point. I don't think that's so unfair. Will take some time out me-thinks for a while!

Guest AJ45 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Daisy, apologies for my directness. But this forum at the moment does not appear to be helping you - but I think that there is too much going off for you at the moment for you to be saying you are not posting anymore . You know people misinterpret or react to posts in a manner that was not intended - it happened the other day when I responded to one of your posts, and you ended up defending me . This place should not be a compulsion - just a source of support !!! Link to comment
taurean Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 The forum can be - and usually is - immensely helpful to a very large number of people - its so important to allow OCD-UK to fulfil its mission statement and why it pays for free access out of the charitable contributions people - like me - make. I do that - and spend time on here - with a genuine desire to help others. I come and go as I please and happen to have chosen to enjoy the extra priviliges of full OCD-UK membership. Being a forum user has even found me a new experienced private therapist. In my time on the forum there have been occasional disagreements and people have taken umbrage and said they would leave the forum. But I think we should take a step back from our initial assessment in such circumstances and remember what we are here for - and that is not to fall out with each other or take umbrage. Strong views will get expressed sometimes umbrage will be taken, but we should forgive and forget and draw a line under it. Link to comment
felix4 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Hi Daisy, Going by some of the replies, & reading between the lines, it sounds like there may be little more to this. I kind of agree with AJ45 that it probably is best to take a break if posting is due to OCD or even egotistical type compulsions. However, if this isn't the case, then I say carry on as normal. There are clearly many on here that value your input, me included, & there are always likely to be disagreements, but please try not to feel 'driven away', & instead look at it as being far less problematic than your least troublesome OCD. :original: Link to comment
gingerbreadgirl Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I agree Felix - although interested to know what you mean by "egotistical compulsions"? X Link to comment
felix4 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 (edited) I agree Felix - although interested to know what you mean by "egotistical compulsions"? X Hi gingerbreadgirl, I just want to point out that the latter part of the comment wasn't directed at daisy in any way. At times I read posts (often long winded), & then find myself questioning after what exactly the point of it was, as in how it relates to OCD, or indeed anything mental health related? It makes me feel annoyed, as if I have been duped into reading something that starts off under the guise of being OCD/MH related material, but it then changes tack, & comes across as the posters main incentive is to tell others something about themselves, as if it more in the way of an egotistic compulsion. It is like the introductory bit about OCD is actually quite irrelevant, & simply a prerequisite for it to be allowed on the main forum. Yes there is always the option to simply not to read, & tbh I often don't, but that often comes at the expense of others, & makes reading the full in/outs of other peoples threads difficult, which as a result I don't always bother with.
