Thank You for Your Support

I'd like to thank everyone who offered their support on the couple of threads I posted on Friday night. I'd like to name names but I'm afraid of leaving someone else. I have quite serious mental health issues (DIAGNOSED)including anorexia and bulimia so my weight fluctuates quite wildly and I have problems with self image etc.

For those who thought I was 'attention seeking' (nice, convenient label there): let me put this to you: a member here was persecuted mercilessly b/c she refused to confirm or deny her gender. I object strongly to being deliberately misidentified and I am derided. Kinda ironic, huh?

Finally, if you have something against me, say it to me rather than denigrating me behind my back. After all, what can I do? It's not as if they've invented a vitrual 'punch you in the face machine'. (although I am working on it.)

Thank you.

Hear hear! :smile:

Remember to stay confident about yourself - you don't need to justify anything to anyone, especially something that is ridiculous and would cause you embarrassment. You look lovely, be proud.

As for the medical problems, hope you get better soon. I'm sure it's largely psychological so you can change that.

Thanks again. Unfortunately, the psychiatric probs I have are endogenous (ie: related to brain chemistry etc). My diagnosis is actually quite scary to a lot of people so I don't generally divulge it. There's still a lot of prejudice around. Meds help but it's like the Berlin Wall used to be - stuff still seeps through.
