I have shyed away from this forum. It is nerve racking when you get scared of what you are writing and have to worry if you will be rejected or returned to moderation where one is watched constantly. It just reinterates feeling bad again about yourself. Feeling rejected by a forum that you were told by your T to get involved with and than being bounced out. I agree, we should stay on the positive side but when going through troubling times we revert backwards for awhile. I re-read my own replies before sending it and again after I sent it and don't see anything wrong with what I wrote for maybe days or weeks later. At the time it sounded right and good.

I have been feeling very uneasy and tense lately about this. I feel like crying. If we wrote dwelling all the time only about our past than I could see it being sympathy as one only wants everyone to know what they went through each time a new one enters the forum or joins. This would definitely be looking for only sympathy. Looking for sympathy would be like re-telling our story to everyone we write to.

When I write, I than feel like I am taking away from someone else's story by using the '" I would do things this way." I know what people mean by telling a more positive way of handling things and helping each other out but should we be sentenced for such a crime as sympathy?
