Hi everyone
I haven't been in the chat room for about two weeks intil yesterday evening when I was shocked to discover how distressed it is making some of our members. Or should I say how distressed the minority are making the majority in chat. I'm really upset as I made friends with someone a few weeks ago, I won't say who because that would'nt be fair, and this person is going to stop using chat as it is making them ill. They are wary of being in there in case certain people come into chat and this in itself is making them panic. JUST WHAT IS GOING ON HERE!!!!
Come on guys, we are going to lose this invaluable service if we don't stop this ridiculous behaviour. Why does it seem that some people are intent on sabbotaging some thing that so many of us rely on in times of high anxiety and amidst a panic attack. If you want to cause problems for people please find another chat site where people aren't feeling so vulnerable. It is downright SICK to make other people feel so bad.
I really don't know the circumstances and I don't know who is involved and I'm not asking to know, all I'm saying is fair's fair. The majority of us came here for genuine reasons and we find comfort and support here with like minded people. Those of you who are using this site for whatever other reason should really find something else to do with there time because I for one do not want chat to be closed down.
And to my on-line friend, you know who you are, please if it's making you that bad stay away for a bit till things calm down. Look at the posts and even write your own. The games are excellent if you're having a panic attack and you are welcome to E- mail or pm me any time. If you are in chat and 'those' people whoever they are log in then just log out, don't even get into a conversation with them. Take someone you are talking to into private chat if you need to talk, but don't let this stop you carrying on the progress that you were making with your anxiety. Please, please please don't let a minority of people stop you from moving on. We are not all like that.
