Hey fella ......dont let anyone grind you down .

If you find the forum helpful stay on don,t let the odd knob get to you .
Sometimes its just how we read the responses the written word is not as easy to do as speaking face to face we see no body language .

My pm box is always open if anyone needs a chat .

Greg,

You are a really nice guy who I have found to be courteous to everyone. You are just you, an honest person who cares about others, is trying to recover and has time for other people.

I'm sure a lot of people around here feel just the same about you and will give you support when you need it.

PM is there when you need it. This forum is for you too. :hugs:

What you have said here must have taken a lot for you and shows courage.

Greg

I don't think they are negative responses but maybe what you don't want to hear, if you are entirely honest with yourself.

I know how much you enjoy and rely on the input from NMP members and we all have a different way of posting.

One or two people can be quite blunt but that doesn't mean that they are being negative, it's just the way they see your situation, and you shouldn't be offended.

I myself wear my heart on my sleeve and have often advised you and also on occasions told you things which perhaps you didn't want to hear, but then again we all are sufferers, some more than others, so reconsider, as what have you got to gain by not posting.

Hi Greg
I have used this forum in the past and found it to be a great help
I fully agree with what Terry says in that you do come across as a guy who is both courteous open and honest please don't give up on the site

Incidentally I find Terry's comments always articulate,well presented never judgmental but always supportive

The site needs people like the Greg and Terry's of this world it has certainly helped me even if you are not aware of it

All the best mate you keep posting

Well said Ricardo. It's like my parents said... "It's for your own good". It's because we care.

Everybody takes a risk posting on here as the responses may not always be what the poster wants to hear. That's not always a bad thing though as people are only offering their opinion and most times are genuinely wanting to help change things for the better.

I don't think you should see this as "negative", Greg. People are just trying to help you move forwards.

How is the CBT going? Is this helping at all?

Greg

I have read through your last few threads and haven't seen anyone be rude to you or non supportive or have I missed something.

Some people are more direct than others as I mentioned before but I think you are reading things the wrong way. You have many friends on here so I am surprised at your comment "go and do one":ohmy:

gregcool
27-08-15, 17:33
Well lets just say i dont like being talked to like a child,and i shouldnt keep coming on NMP and posting,its not the first time iv been ofended.im not the only one that felt certain coments on my post was harsh and non suportive....i have some great support and friends in hear,but there is always going to be someone that upsets the apple cart..all im saying is that if people dont like my posts and think i spend to much time on hear then they should stay off my threads and leave me alone.this is not aimed at you ricardo..

pulisa
27-08-15, 18:47
I think you get a lot of support on here, Greg, in fact a lot more than most people. I'm sorry if you think that you are not being supported in a positive way though as everyone seems to encourage you in whatever move you make towards your recovery.

gregcool
27-08-15, 19:27
Hey pulsa.i agree i get a lot of support and am very greatful to you all.its just one person who on a couple of my threads has been talking to me like im a kid and thinks inpost to much and spend to much of my time on hear posting..i thought that was the whole idea of this forum ,to post when you need to and talk to others,which is all i have been doing

pulisa
27-08-15, 21:02
Greg, I know for a fact that he's only got your best interests at heart and has spent a long time over the years trying to help you to change things to benefit your wellbeing. If he didn't care he wouldn't bother and he wouldn't get frustrated

27-08-15, 22:55
Regardless of anything else, Greg, I've always thought you struggle with the social side so assertiveness is bound to be a problem too and I would like to commend you for telling people how you feel. That takes courage and should be acknowledged.

Are you concentrating on some plans to have a great time when she's back with you, Greg? Will you be getting the cake recipes out?

Is it getting easier for you to sleep when you have to changes things around to accomodate for her? I know sleep is a biggie for you from when you've had trouble reducing the meds but after you posted last time you seemed to adjust well and continue having a great time with her.

gregcool
28-08-15, 12:12
Hi terry..yes plans in place mate for when she comes round..she sleeps on the sofa and i keep my bed.her choice...yep we bake cakes and have great fun when she is hear...all her focus is on me when she comes to me so all good there mate.iv got her in two weeks time again and i make sure we do something everytime she visits..ice skating or the cinema etc just for one day ,then we chill out in front of the tv and play games etc.she has a lovely time and allways crys when she leaves me,so i know she misses me,bless her....

MyNameIsTerry
28-08-15, 12:34
It's sad she gets upset but also it must feel good as you know its because she loves you. It certainly shows and some months back when you missing the contact you know you can bury that as only this matters.

I'm really pleased for you mate. I think this time with your daughter is going to do so much for you. We can tell you are getting stronger and like MrAndy says on your other thread, you should be proud of yourself.

If that bake off programme does a father & daughter competition we will be looking out for you :yesyes:

gregcool
28-08-15, 12:39
Lol..thanks terry..bake off im not sure about that..but yes its sad when she crys when she goes,but as you say,it makes me realize she loves and misses me,plus nowadays she calls and texts me more than she ever did,so something has changed within her..

Sounds nice petra..ill have to look into that.i do have a cake recipy book and has loads of lovely things to make,but sometimes the ingrediants can all add up to much for me so i try to keep the cost down,so forced to make the cheeper stuff

MyNameIsTerry
30-08-15, 04:10
Don't worry, Petra, it doesn't affect me, another thing Mindfulness did for me :winks:

Greg, I know what you mean about cost. I bought a juicer last year and I'm limited to very basic stuff. The recipes mean buying all sorts of expensive things like vanilla pods, rose water, etc and I can't afford all that stuff. It's nice to be healthy but it's often not cheap!

Thanks Greg,

Not sure what's been said but it's an ongoing problem for me on here now which I can't see ending. It's what happens in forums when you challenge people over their opinions.

Don't let it put you off, you've got loads of support on here.

I think there is a misunderstanding here, Greg. I am very pleased for those interested in making,baking or eating cakes, but then it should be on a completely different thread as it is becoming rather confusing. You were asked to close this thread before I wrote to you and then decided to delete the post as I didn't want to upset you but for the life of me I can't get the connection between the thread title and cakes.

Have I not seen on many occasions,admin say words to the effect"we have moved your post to a more suitable section" but then again that was a new thread, and quite honestly it isn't doing anyone any harm,so not for the first time, I stand corrected . Maybe i have too much on my mind and should take a back seat for a while.

Ricardo lots of threads have started out as a negative and with people generally chatting it has become more positive and I see no harm in turning it into a chit chat thread. If you look at other threads you will see it has happened many times so why pick on Gregs? I remember Pancho starting a thread about her anxieties and it became a chatting thread where the people on there struck up a very good relationship and became a huge support to each other. I can only see this thread as doing the same. If you are not happy with that why do you keep coming back to it? Just don't look at it if it is bothering you.

On another note...I have made a meat pie and orange cake. I woke up feeling depressed and anxious this morning but getting up and baking has really done me some good. :)

gregcool
03-09-15, 12:02
I have to agree hear ..ricardo whats the prob? You obiously dont have a sence of humor..it started off negative and turned out positive with others joining in...what the hell is the prob with you and this thread.how is it doing you any harm ? Stop reading it if its upsetting you.

My Grandma was always baking and made lovely bread, cakes, pies...I can still smell and taste them.

Isn't it best to turn a negative into a positive? It is possible.

Obviously I am wrong in my thinking and have had several private requests to tell me so, so sorry Greg, it wasn't aimed as a slight on you. Just read my current position.Maybe I just can't converse properly at the moment.Some of this below I have mentioned before but nevertheless I want to be part of this community.I do actually have a wicked sense of humour but I suppose some will say this post is on the wrong thread as well lol.
However everything has just got on top of me and besides some saying I am strong things go from bad to worse on a weekly basis.


I have suffered GAD for decades but the one year (2005) I was off all meds. I have to be taken everywhere and our por daughter has finally been diagnosed with Sjogens which effects the auto immune system and though there is no cure,steroids are the answer,which she isn't keen on taking.
I had an awful experience with a dentist last autumn when he ripped several of my teeth out and the bone went through the gum and then after the healing process and demanding my money back and compensation I had a heart attack at my doctor's surgery. Luckily 2 stents later I technically have a stronger heart but now I have depression as well as increased anxiety.Ididn't go to court with the dentist as my heart was more important but as I am on blood thinners for a year,I still have 5 months to go before reconstruction can begin,so soft foods and a limited menu basically for a year.
Both our rescue Boxers had to be put down in the last year so all in all I have real health problems which though under control still depress me, and everything else I have mentioned,and quite frankly I am finding it hard to cope, so kindly make allowances for me.
