Venting and whinning

[jollyman069]

I am writing this post for a couple of reasons.. someone earlier started a thread on what really is a true friend.. got me to trhinking about a couple of things.. a friend of ours from med help is having a hard time right now with pain control. if this person wants you all to know who it is they will tell you all.. i dont think it is my place to say, anyways they wrote a comment the other day about how ythey were having many problems with pain and other things mewdically going on, so i pm'd them and told them if there was anything i coulkd do let me know, well i got a pm from them to day explaining what they were going thru and then apoligized for whinning too much .. well as far as i am concerned we all need at times  to vent and whine.. most of us here experience severe pain at times and some times even meds dont help. now i know we know each other just by chatting on a computer.. but we are freinds.. so i am asking everybody and i am 99 % sure that most already do, when someone needs to vent or whine we all listen try to give the best advice we can and try to brighten their day the best we can.. so what i guess i am really trying to say is.. WE ALL NEED TO VENT AND WHINE IT'S GOOD FOR THE SOUL. so everyone be tolerable and put yourself in the others persons pain and see what you would want to do.....thaqnks for listening... god i wish i could type better

To add to that I make typos because I type faster than my fingers can coordinate, so I do not make many comments on people's typing errors or spelling.

I couldn't agree more with your post about being able to vent whenever one is feeling down. No one should have to hold back their true feelings because of fear of being judged. After all this is what this site is intended for, is to be brutally honest with oneself where they are and exactly where they are strugling with their life.  In reality one usually keeps these things secret because of fear they will be treated differently.  Tyhat's what makes being online different. One can be honest about their problems and seek support from friends.  Then another nice thing is once the problem is resolved or passed, then you can remove the journal or set it to private.  I've done that and seen my progression, things I've struggled with then and where I am now.
--------------------------------

But I have to be honest with everyone here. There are some people and you know who you are who haven't allowed yourselves to put judgement aside and help me when I was really feeling down and struggling with depression/hypomania/ and negative drug interactions.

As a result I no longer feel safe sharing my personal feelings on medhelp.  It pains me as I write this, but it is true.  But that is just me. It's alright for anyone else to share their thoughts and depression, but when I talk about my hurt, then I'm accused of really nasty things.  But I guess that's okay with everyone else.  So I now filter what I write about and hope that in the future that people won't pass judgement on me.

The spelling conversation is great. I too make mistakes and realize that we all do. I have to say I found it pretty funny when a certain MH member chose to respond in a nasty way to a poster on another forum. When she chose to tell this young girl how "stupit" she was...and her choices were even "stupiter"...I couldn't help but think it made a big statement about herself. LMAO

Does Lamictal have side effects? What is stress. When I was Dx with PH, my MD told me to avoid stress. I asked him what was stress. I had heard of it. Can you catch it or how do you get it. He asked me if I was serious and I laughed and told him no. Same for the Lamictal. Is it what is causing problems with memory? Thought and still wonder if I have big "A". Cowgirl, bless you. I honestly I had something else going on. When I tell MD bout increasing problems with memory he adds meds. My PCP tolad me last week wasn't going to add Aricept or Namends just now, changed Effexor xr 3oo to Pristiq 50.
Last night thoughts rambled (now too?) and was in a big panic state. Don't think this is forum for me to discuss- Sorry  I do know Lamictal has side effects. Terminated from job 6 weeks ago .Lamictal amd other drugs ? interaction between 2? Think I'll post for MD if site for this question----Does anyone know? Bless each for allowing me to vent. My response to my misspelling whining- well sorry if inapropriate---was down and out in Ga. bad evening and night and has carried over into today. If allowed, need to discuss. Again if not right forum, please direct me. Will appreciate your help. :-0)

Don't worry - I do the same thing with spelling and if I make a spelling mistake after I enter a post, it drives me insane.  I actually look for items that are mis-spelled in news articles, etc.,  not to be critical - just a little oddity - kind of like a word find game for the nerd in me.  Lately though I am losing short term memory and it's hard to spell - REALLY!  Weird.   Supposedly, it's a Lamictal side effect.

Anyway!

We all vent - we all "whine", and trust me - we are all better for it.  

Hey - English Major - I had the COOLEST English teacher from the 6th throug 8th grade.  She taught us our "Being" verbs by singing the Frere Jacques son - I will never forget that (I hope), so I don't know if you are teacher, but they do make a huge difference.  "Is am are, was were be being been....."
