Radical acceptance
Civility buddy
Not necessarily in that order.
Just my two cents.

Another piece of wisdom from Dinah. Both are excellent suggestions!

You know after just reading here for just a couple of minutes, I just realized am much more normal that I thought, and that I have much less time than others to read and post here. Plus enough is enough. Hello?

My post isn't talking about you Dinah, I think you do have some good ideas, but more to the overall admin board. What is the point of anything anyways. There are much more constructive things to do than to read here or post here, which I plan on doing after I leave.

That's not very nice.
I am happy for your good fortune. Perhaps you could be more sensitive for others' lack of same?

Boy things are getting complicated. And I wish I too had better things to do but fear is a large component. Love Phillipa

but you know what, Babble is *part* of that life.
Is it worse than online gaming? Worse than discussing reality TV? Worse tahn sitting in front of the TV all day watching daytime TV.
I am willing to put money on the fact I do more for my "community" than you, that I do more voluntary work (on top of a full time job in mental health). Do you spend a few hours a week, unpaid, trying to improve mental health services for you peers? To get laws changed? To advocate for others how to get the best care?
Until you do all of this, until you are respected nationwide for all the *very* hard (unpaid)work you do, please do not tell me I "have no life" for simply posting on an internet forum.
Thankyou
Nikki

Passions are a bit high, so everyone might want to scan their posts a few times before hitting that submit button.

It's one of my favorite DBT skills.
But I think maybe I'm not as good as Linehan at describing it.
I'm afraid you've run up against one of my personal limitations. I can't define or explain things very well.

sorry didn't mean to be uncivil. Actually what I meant, didn't come acrossthe right way I wanted.
I am on the boards too, a lot, I was more talking about all the heated arguments on Admin. about the rules of the site. For me it is getting old, really, and that is why I don't want to come here (admin) anymore. I don't have the time to get involved in the "fights" or read about them.
I truely support what this site is about and am glad it is here, but I plan on staying away from certain areas . I think everything I said here was civil, to as much as I understand the rules (which are very confusing).It is really hard to keep up on the new rules especailly since there is not notification anything has changed and I dont' read the FAQ everytime I sign in.
So I hope this post is okay. I am almost scared to even post anything anymore. It seems so easy to mess up here. I hope nobody is offended. Sorry about the misunderstanding on my first post.

Ya know, maybe there's two kinds of people who come to Admin.
Those who want a stoush (and those who want to watch) and those who say it sucks.

In reply to if these posts are triggering anyone, why read??? (nm), posted by wildcardII on August 18, 2006, at 16:55:02
I guess you don't find out they trigger you until after you get done reading them. Besides, it feels good to get emotionally engaged sometimes, even if the primary emotion is anger. It is stimulating.
