Sigh. Do you ever wonder why you bother?

 Seriously, ignore that biyotch! I don't know where he/she gets off acting like that but no one died and made him/her the center of the universe..... I'm ticked off out of sympathy for you but PLEASE REMEMBER that you are valued and appreciated by everyone else here!

No one is perfect or "normal". I think this person is too big for his britches. They need to chill out. You have been a great help to many of us. Keep up the good work, Kelly!

Kelly,

You are marvelous and this person is a dick.

 WTH?!?  No, make that WTF instead...  

I am just floored.  It is a damn good thing that this person is in Psychiatric research and not actually counseling people with such a hateful, negative attitude towards people who are "mentally ill" (I only put that in quotes because I hate that phrase).  I am just almost speechless that someone with any kind of mental health related education would be so presumptuous, vitriolic, and unprofessional (despite the claim of presenting a "professional" opinion).

I am so sorry you had to read that crap.  The comment about the blog and the pictures is confusing.... but even if his person has you confused with someone else, I agree that to write off any advice or information from anyone who has any type of mental health issue is exemely shortsighted.  I have suffered from PTSD and depression since the auto accident in 1998 and then, even moreso, after the rape in 2004, yet I have worked effectively with clients since 2006, including some very successful work with some clients with trauma histories.

Don't let someone so angry and hateful get to you.  I know that your openness about your struggle with major depression as been helpful to a lot of people and has done a lot to make it safe for people here to admit their own mental health issues.Too many people don't get the help they need because of the stigma of "mental illness", so openness that decreases the stigma is invaluable.

 OK, let me simply say, there is mental illness, which most everybody I know has at least a "touch" lol, in my professional opinion, she should be diagnosed with JPC disease! That would be "Just Plain Crazy" for all of you 'non professionals".  

Did I fail to mention I am in the profession of selling industrial supplies.  

I am being a total smart ass, hope everybody gets my twisted sense of humor, but all joking aside, there is NO excuse for what she sent you, and I am really sad that she felt she had the right to be so mean spirited!!  Karma is a *****:)

What a complete cretin. If that person is gonna act like a turd, he/she should go lay in the yard.

Please keep posting and caring. I hate the thought that you might not want to share because some evil, ill-tempered cowardly assinine idiot is sending hate mail.

You bring so much to this board.

You don't need to be a genius to figure out who the writer is.  I got blocked by her, too, because I basically called BS on her claim that her doctor said it was OK for her to smoke because it helped her lung condition.  What a load of horse pucky.
I am glad she blocked me.  I hate reading lies from people who are strangers to reality.  If she is in mental health believe me it's on the other side of the unbreakable glass.
I could tell she was a delusional ***** from the minute I read all the excuses she made for her dumb behavior but I had no idea she was a small minded bigot, too.  All the better to have been blocked by her.  Saves me the trouble.  Apparently she has a problem with people that don't kiss her ass and tell her that she isn't doing anything wrong.
BTW, I am thinking the blog she is talking about is actually your OH profile.  She doesn't seem to have the brights to know the correct terminology. 

So I guess maybe I am re-blocked (or soon will be) for correcting her claim of multiple posts calling her obscene names a while ago...?  I guess at least if it WAS her it means we don't need to worry about someone ELSE running around here spewing vitriolic nonsense.

Lora

Yeah, it was her.  No doubt.  Fortunately I haven't seen anyone else around here with that level of ignorance, unpleasantness and dishonesty before.  Her "doctor" husband must be so proud.

That person is a jerk.  I know it is hard not to take it personally or ponder why someone would say those terrible thngs.  You are a very kind person.
