Come up with a conclusion please so we can move on. Geez. There is no good solution It is such a shame that there is so much typing being wasted on "this" topic. Why are we addicted to con-flama so much? There is too much anxiety here. It makes me sad. Think of all of the new ppl that are turning away. So you want a gay forum Why?? is it so you can post your nasties on it. Why would you want to do that anyway. I dont want my kids or myself to be reading about that kind of stuff. I dont understand why this keeps goin on. Come on!! There is plenty of gay forums out in cyber space join one of them if you need to be nasty. Lets talk about Anxiety and depression here. So many of you have typed long long letters here it is a shame that it is in vain.

Geez Monica, earlier you said this...

quote:
I am disappionted with how much attention this gay thing has gotten. If there can be a religious forum why not give them a gay forum. I dont know what the big deal is. It is not up to any of us to judge ANYONE!! Give them the forum. That way if I dont want to see Gay or lesbian behaviour this way I can avoid it all together. I am a christian and I would like to see Gay and lesbian ppl get the same kind of treatment as us. give them a forum. I am sure that the gay ppl have heard all of this stuff before from everyone on this planet.
Come on lets get back to the real reason we are all here.


Like it or not, there are going to be threads on the forum that don't suit your tastes. You don't have to read them. I take it you are having a hard time controlling yourself.

Please don't let the forum get to you. If it is interfering with your ability to do the AA&D program get away from them. Or at the very least start a thread elsewhere asking for advice on how to keep yourself from obsessing over the forum. Or maybe give Midwest Center a call.

For what it's worth, I'm not sure these forums are good for me either. I might have to consider leaving them alone.

YoyoyoyoMo,nica: how many active forums are there in this site? ... dozens I think. My question is WHY do you choose to go into this one and get "upset" about it? I can't understand that.

And thank you so much for refering to my "nasties". What's "nasty" to you is simply real-life to someone else. We're all dealing with stress/anxiety, even people who aren't exactly like you.

The CONCLUSION you're looking for is ... if you're uncomfortable with "gay" then don't go into a forum with "gay" in the title! Then I suspect you'll be very happy with your experience on this site. Actually, it's a GREAT site for all different types of people (and so is Lucinda's program)!!

On a friendlier note, what's "con flame"? Never heard it before. Also, when you say, "there is no good conclusion" I suspect I agree! To be perfectly honest, that's my whole dilemma!

THANKS!!

Here's a really bad, and un-funny "joke".

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

What's the cruelest trick you can play on people with anxiety disorders?

Create an unmoderated internet forum for them, encourage them to get involved in it, then hide yourself and watch them go nuts.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

<<< Edited to remove the worst of my whining. >>>

YoyoyoyoMo,nica Thanks for replying ... and the education re conflama! I'll have to remember that it's catchy.

To be honest I'm not totally sure what you mean by "nasties". But whatever it is I apologize, I don't mean to offend anyone.

Seriously, why open forums you think will make you uncomfortable. Per what I see in the title there are some I won't open since I don't want to "go there". There are others I open and after reading just a little I close up, for the same reason. It's a public site drawing all different types of people, everyone's got different issues so you're going to get it all in here.

So anyway how are you doing with the program? I hope it's going well for you! I'm on week 12.

<<<>>
But when a forum recieves 154 replys you have to check it out.

<<>>
I guess so

<<>> It already has. I get worked up with many of the topics. I dont think that this forum ever intended to be this anxiety producing.

<<< how to keep yourself from obsessing over the forum. >>>
Low blow

I dont think that it is healthy for anybody to be participating in any of this it is totally anxiety producing. I would like to read more stuff on how to get better PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!! This is an anxiety and depression site. we must move on.

JEFF & FAITH ... you know, all three of us ought to get off this site for a while, I have to admit.

Faith you said you were a little obcessed. We all know how much I've written here the last few days so I'm obcessed too!

Jeff, I hear ya it didn't come in the mail YET? That's frustrating. The first week is interesting, can be a little disturbing but I think they do that on purpose to motivate you, so a good thing.

What really matters here is we all get better huh! Starting tomorrow I'm gonna spend just a little while on this site then get off for the rest of the day. I don't need this I don't want to be a "career" MWC site participant!

FAITH ... how was therapy today how'd you do with the program are you still on week 4? And how's hubby ok?

sleep tight ..

You're on week 4? ... that's a tough week, I remember it. But it's a GREAT week too. All I can tell you is JUST KEEP GOING. I'm on week 12 and I can't believe how well I'm doing. It takes a while before you notice a lot of change, but once it starts happening it's pretty incredible.

And if you have a tough time on your own, hire one of the Midwest Center coaches. They're INCREDIBLE. These are people who have recovered from the same exact problem we have. My coach was really in bad shape, I mean pretty much a disaster. And she's GREAT now. She's given me so much clarity & guidance, worth every penny. I want to GET BETTER PERIOD. Best of luck you'll do great! .

That was meant to be sympathetic, not a low blow.

I am having difficulty limiting my time on this forum too. In fact I am failing completly.

Thank you Rick for being so sympathetic and supporting. I am a Strange case still I hope to get better soon. I suffer from numerous phobias Gad and anxiety Plus I have various learning disabilites. Plus I have this obsessing problem.

As for a coach how much does that cost and what is involved? Can that type of a person help me to see things with clairity? I go in the chat room for advice too. But I am too upset most of the time.

Hey Jeff. LOL ON THE JOKE. That would be nuts for sure.

chin up. Your program hopefully is on the way. Go to this website and start the program now. http://www.stresscenter.com/program.htm
This program has helped me so much. I know I am still really bad and I have a long way to go But I have come along way too. I have learned so much about myself. I really didnt realize that all of the way I have been acting all of my life is realted to anxiety and gad. I hope you get a new and improved flame about starting the program. It is major life changing.

You know if it doenst come in the mail today. I would call them. Maybe it is backordered or somthing.
Take care Monica

Sometimes, and more and more each day, I'm wondering if there's anybody at the Midwest Center anymore who has even a clue about what its like to have anxiety problems.

I work at a business where the founder was semi-retired for years. A couple times the company started drifting aimlessly and he had to come back and kick butt to get us back on track. Now he's retired for real and the company isn't serving it's customers like it used to, but there's nobody who still has the original vision and the power to fix the problems. Reminds me of Lucinda and the Midwest Center for some reason.

Oh, well. I'm still hopeful that the program is good. It probably hasn't changed much from back in the days when Lucinda was actually involved in the business.

I'm too negative I suppose. Waiting 8 days (so far) for the program to arrive in the mail has given my enthusiasm plenty of time to wax and wane. In each cycle, the peak is a little lower.

Tomorrow will be a better day.

FAITH ... just so you know, BAKEDPEARS calmed that other site right down, very skillfully. Actually it "ended" quite beautifully.

Just REALLY, REALLY, REALLY get into the program, if you immerse youself in it it will work. Anything that distracts you, stay away for a while. You're doing it for you and your husband! ... right now NOTHING is more important than the two of you like that!

And like I said on another thread I think, if you're having trouble keeping focused & making progress each week hire one of their coaches. Honestly I NEVER would have gotten to where I am without a coach. It's well worth the $ it's made ALL the difference for me. I don't know how I'm gonna tell my coach tomorrow how much time I spent in these forums this week, she's gonna whack me on the back of the head!

Also, there is no need to turn off your signature anywhere including in a "gay oriented" thread! Your signature is a reflection of you. From my point of view what went off the tracks in the other site had NOTHING to do with people's signatures! Actually, I love reading them it's a way to subtly get insight into the person, see who they are, almost like a profile.

Re the feedback you gave I think I missed it will take a quick look.
