Journal Entry for April 6, 2008 Mood
Sunday, April 6, 2008 | A Venting story

My friends know me well...I am bluntly honest I will try to help anyone and you get one chance...Harsh but true...

 

DS has been given more than one chance and it is just about out of them...Im at the point of wishing all my friends well and saying goodbye...I wont close my account as there are people I would like to stay in contact with that mean the world to me...

 

In my time here I have been a rock for many, I have had my down times but I have gotten back up...I have been an inspiration and then been kicked in the teeth by the very people that thought I was inspiring...

 

I have been called upon to help out in really tricky situations and then dropped like a bag of shit when the storm has blown over...I take all this in my stride and learn from it...I have become very reserved where some people are concerned...

 

There are some a very special few that really get me, they dont always agree with me but they get me no questions asked...They have not only my respect but my friendship and a real love...I cherish them and treat them all like the true gifts that they are...

 

One of the few things that really gets to me about DS is the constant ongoing stream of people that screw up and blame BP...BP is not an excuse to be a screw up, to hurt those around you over and over again, it is not an excuse for anything...But it is human nature to search for and to need an excuse rather than being the bigger person and simply saying HEY I SCREWED UP...

 

Im not perfect and have never pretended to be.  I am not without fault I know I have many...But never have I blamed anything or anyone for my mistakes, errors or for simply being a screw up...I am open honest and willing to admit when I screwed up...I have plenty in my life that I could blame for the way I am for the things that I do...What is the point why give those things the power to run my life...

 

I am me I am strong I am far from perfect but I am happy with my life who I am and the why that I live my life...

 

For those of you that dont like me the why I am so be it your lose not mine you will never know just who I am and just what I have achieved in my life...

 

For those of you that truely know me know this I love and cherish you will all of my being and you inspire me to be a better person...

    I try my best to keep in touch with all my friends. I've not been up to it lately, so for this I apologize. I enjoy reading your journal; I get a lot from just "listening". Sometimes I don't have the ability to even type my thoughts, but for you, who tried to help me in my time of need, I give you this comment to let you know I care.

    Johnette---you have a good outlet if you will only use it. I know how hard it is to not give advice, support and love to some of these BPers. And yes, they do blame the illness for being bad, not blame themselves for being cruel or mean-spirited.

    I love you girl, you know that---I left the main board and founded the group so we could be safe. You can utilize it as you want---we will be there for you!!!!!

    Love ya, sweet one!!!
