I don't want to post stuff here anymore. But I have come to love this community in the short time I've been here. Are there other forums that people like and trust? I can't stand the thought of things being tweeted and FB. Mental health is not a game for me, and I used to feel like this was somewhere I could be 'real' and ask hard questions. No more.
Help me find a new home!

If anyone finds one, let me know.
My babblemail is on.
So many of my posts have numbers next to them... I have no desire to be here anymore. Dr. Bob clearly intends to leave things as they are now, and I just don't want to be here. I find myself so angry with the people who would do such a thing against my expressed wishes, and so angry with Dr. Bob for facilitating it. I just can't be here. I don't like to feel such anger. It makes my head hurt.
For the record, this is more about respect and integrity than it is about fear of twitterers or facebook people.
There's Psychcentral. I never really felt at home there, but maybe if a bunch of us moved there together, it would feel more of a home.
I'll still be chatting here. So those of you who are still here, you can meet me there or reach me by babblemail. So I'm not saying goodbye.
Let me know if we find somewhere else.
For anyone with any regard whatsoever for my feelings, please don't link or tweet this post without my permission. For anyone who wishes to spit in my face, I guess you'll do what you want. Again, thank Bob for the chance.

Right on Admin.
Nice job. That one next to Facebook looks just like a single raised finger. I wonder what imagery a two or three will bring for me?

To see that that someone wishes to do this to me.
I think I'm going to avoid Babble, even as a lurker, for a while..
Just not good for me.

I'm only sticking around and not posting anything of any significance, hoping that bob (am I the only one creeped out by his new pic??) will come to his senses. What he's doing is cruel, in the "oh, let's see how we can f#$k with people" mentality.

On the Admin board, Dinah and others have written things that express what I think more thoroughly and eloquently than I could. I said the other day that if the Twitter/facebook issue was not resolved in a way I felt comfortable with, I'd stop participating. It hasn't been resolved for me. It's time for me to leave.
A few years back, when Babble was much newer (and I think a much easier place to be), I used to post quite a lot. I am grateful for the support and information I received. Although I've been much less involved in recent years, I still liked to follow along and post sometimes. No more.
I know I'm not close to the current board population, but if someone finds a forum they like, I'd love to know about it. My babblemail will be on.
Thanks much and best wishes to everyone.
Oh, and PLEASE don't FB or twitter this post!
Take care,
emme

Dinah. I know we are not friends, but I want you to know I feel very badly for you and understand completely (well, that's presumptuous)---but I think I understand a lot of what you are feeling, and I'm so sorry that this has befallen you. I'd say more if I didn't feel saying more might not be wise.
Please take care.
Best wishes,
henrietta

You also have a one. Don't know if I do or not. Horrible for someone to do this. But to me horrible the suicidal thread in on twitter. My name is there yet is it that if your orignal thread isn't tweeted or whatever you may still be there but no number next to your name? Does psych central notify of threads? That's what I like about babble. I also will post things of no signicance til find a home. Bag lady right now. Phillipa

Thank you, Henrietta. That means a lot to me.
I know we haven't been on friendly terms in the past, but I'm enough of an optimist to keep open the hope that one day that can change.

Hi, I'm new to babble, and am excited to have found the social board, as I'm more interested in getting support/"talking" to others, than talking about meds. But your posts have me concerned. Can I ask what is going on that is forcing you to leave? If you would rather not answer I understand. I haven't learned all the "ropes" of what is OK and what isn't! :)

Katgirl it's a long story. Try reading some of administration board. And feel free to babblemail me anytime. Phillipa sorry about thinking you were also on emsam or parnate.

Hello,
Would you folks be kind enough to expand?
Is what I am reading in this post imply that any PB member simply needs to select the tweeter and/or facebook icons and the original post and all threads transfer to those sites?
I considered there must be financial considerations, perhaps sponsorship for this Psycho-Babble site.
I saw .org in the name and believed it was not a .com, but now I have wonder of bottom line concerns. Your user ID provides some anonymity.
I used a disposable g-mail.com account for my e-mail info. I think all Internet sites should be considered similar to posting info on any public access community board.
I know of a '.org' site for chronic pain sufferers with many medication forums that also has other forums.
It seems that ailments whether physical or mental have many similarities.
The site I referenced is free to participate, without icon links to other sites but I'm not sure how it's sponsored.
The site is named "pharmer.org".
The level of forte and sophistication seems to be in the pain control sphere of knowledge.
This is the end of the thread.
