In reply to p.s. I'm sorry but I've got to go. nm, posted by pianolady on July 25, 2003, at 1:02:42
well, that response kinda freaked me out. i believe that i said i *wasn't* doing anything, not until the fall at least, yeah? thanks for the well wishes, and i'd never spurn a positive prayer, regardless of your deity of choice. for the record, the "someone close to me" slammed a door in my face a few hours ago and crisis lines are little more than parrots, in my limited experience. I just needed an outlet tonight, is all. sorry again, again.

Sabina, I'm sure there's no reason to apologize. You don't need to apologize for feeling bad. I'm sorry the person you feel close to hurt you so badly this evening. There seems to be just too much of that going around lately. :(

i'm sure everyone notices how you're always so quick to be kind to anyone in need. i hope you know how much it's appreciated. i wasn't surfing for attention with that post, not just for effect. thanks for being my late night sweetie, tonight.

I didn't think you were looking for attention, Sabina. Just that you were really upset, and if someone close to you hurt you, that would explain it. Would it help to talk about that hurt?
You know, when a group of us Babblers used to chat at PB Open, I was always getting cyberpinches for apologizing when no apologies were necessary. :)
Fallsfall is right. The best purpose for a suicide plan is to make life more bearable. I hope you never have to use yours. (And I hope I never have to use mine too.)

This page is for those who need help or just a little word of advice. You never said anything like that and the other person must have taken you wrong...
They should be appoligizing not you. It seems to be an epicademic of people being mean here and trying to push people who are already on the end of falling. That is not fair!
Hang in there, we know you are a kind person who would not hurt a fly and you have proven that in your posts.
I stand behind you!

I think there must have been a misunderstanding all around, unless I'm incredibly dense. Piano lady was expressing her concern for Sabina in the previous thread and I read this comment to just mean that she wasn't able to remain on line to continue the conversation. It was actually something I was thinking myself. Sabina so obviously hurt that I wanted to see if there was anything I could do, but it was so late that I needed to go to bed.
Unless I'm dense as a post, I don't see anyone that needs to apologize for anything.

I just posted an apology, but right now I am not seeing my reply posted even though I'm going through to rethread.
But it is correct that when I posted the second reply about having to go, I only meant that it was getting very late for me and that I haven't been sleeping well at all, so I desparately needed a decent night's sleep.
And if for some reason the first post didn't get properly sent, Sabina, I very much did not intend to hurt or offend you in any way. I was simply concerned for you and my hope was that the post would be comforting. I apologize that it seemed to make things worse for you.
I hope today is better for you since I didn't seem to help things last night.
Good luck

don't feel bad...anybody. man, none of this worked out like i thought it would. what's new, though, right?
pianolady's intentions were good, i'm sure, if a little over the top, especially when i had said that there was no immediate danger.
dinah was ever helpful and kind, for which i thanked her. i am actively seeking help and support in the 3-d world. there's only so many appointments i can have in one week, though.
and giget, you're right that i did kinda expect a simple "yeah, i know how it is" response from the 'regular' crew who were prepared to read something ugly that was bouncing around in my mind and needed to get out.
i'm sorry for any backlash that this thing started. makes me want to keep my mouth shut next time i have something unpleasant or self hating to say. i guess i need to be more cautious about what i let out.
as for today, i finally took some xanax to knock me out but good. i got an email back from a close friend out of state that said i could stay with her. i don't know if that's the best option, though. i'd be away from the meanness at home but away from pdoc and therapist. time will tall.
