I really don't see what your problem is, I merely defended what I thought was a very good book, so that people can make thier own choices. Just because it didn't work for one person, doesn't mean its bad.

And no one is putting anyone down, but I can't be bothered with people constantly using the forum as some sort of place to create friction.

You do not have the monopoly on anxiety, trust me, as for the rest of your comments, it's water off a ducks back to me.

I read Feeling Good by Dr Burns, it did NOTHING for me, but I wouldn't call it rubbish, it just didn't work for me.

You really seem a hostile lady, maybe if you wasn't so confrontational your anxiety would not be so bad.

Kind regards,

Jaco

Why are you so nasty and bitter - Jaco? That's twice you have upset me. I am the least confrontational person out there - you don't know me. How can you say stuff like my anxiety would be better blah blah blah when this is supposed to be a support forum. You seriously have no idea what it is like to suffer from anxiety if you can say that to me. Do you enjoy being nasty and causing others to be set back along their attempts to recover?

I suppose I am meant to be sorry for sticking up for myself when all I ever wanted to do was help out the chap who was asking for help at the start of the listing.

(I really feel like I am being bullied on this posting. Is anyone in admin taking any notice of the bullying and jumping down each others throats that goes on here. I have seen this go on in the chat rooms before but this is the first time I've felt like I was being picked on and having to take abuse.)

Oh dear

Guys be nice to one another huh.

Each to their own with what helps us along the way to recovery is concerned, and we all have our own opinions on that.

Beadbabe, I dont think Jaco is attacking you personally, just defending what he believes in mate, and remember he is a bloke they arent as tactful as us females lol

Not too sure what the little dig at the admins was about (yet again) but I can't see anything on here to suggest anyone being bullied and we are keeping an eye on the thread.

Its turned into a debate and sometimes debates get slightly heated, just try and not get personal with one another or the thread will have to be locked

Love

Hello everyone on this thread!

Its turned into a debate and sometimes debates get slightly heated, just try and not get personal with one another or the thread will have to be locked

Wise words from Trac.

I'm a very newbie admin so am still on a very steep learning curve!

However, one thing that I have discovered is how difficult the job can be sometimes.

One has to be objective about things and try and not jump on any 'band wagon'.

NMP is a place where people have the freedom to express themselves - a vital commodity when you consider what we all suffer from.

However, there is a very fine line sometimes between free speach and alllowing a 'free for all'.

The admin team here are first class and I am receiving so much help and guidance from them - I so want to give back something to this site and the people who use it.

Before this turns into a 'GG novel', may I just say please don't worry - if the admin team seem inactive at times, it's not because they're not bothering - it's because they are considering every eventuality and trying to keep this site free but at the same time moderated so that all may benefit.

And, like everything in life, we're not always going to get it right - but we'll have a dam good try lol !!

Hope this is helpful

Nigel, I was joking mate, hence the LOL at the end of the sentence and Im sure Jaco wont be offended

I've known Jaco for years and met him a few times due to our shared anxiety and I can assure you that he does have anxiety and at times it is very bad too, so it's a tad unfair to pick on him like that.

I've read so many books on the topic of anxiey and I do agree that what suits one person won't necessarily suit someone else, but it does make me a bit mad when I see people make statements that are innacurate. Claire Weekes actually cured herself of her anxiety state and spent years, even after she had retired, touring the world trying to help people.

I think one of the things a lot of people with anxiety struggle with are the terrible physical symptoms of anxiety, which very few books back in the 70's ever tackled. Claire Weekes did a brilliant job of explaining how the body works and goes in great detail about every physical symptom and explains everything in such an easily readable manner
