   You know I am still none the wiser as exactly what Lyricsingray (Kimberly) did that was so bad as to warrant the attacks she has received on this forum. If the worst she has done is recover from being a drug addict then I admire her for not only beating the problem, but also for being open enough to share her experiences on Hubpages, (especially if she has been attacked for it since). Am I missing something here?

             Hey Faybe, I think it's funny you are friends with Habee! Hehe. Anyway, I have a manic side and I thought I would tell you two of the best things I have found to help me in dark times.
             
             First, I make sure I've eaten something, along with a multivitamin. Sometimes the lows are brought on by a simple missing part in our constitution.
             
             Second, I get rhythm, like the Johnny Cash song. Get outside, go for a walk, do some sit ups, wave your arms over your head and move to a rhythum, it really works!
             
             Hope that helps some!
             
             Ben

                Hi, Ben-sometimes in these forums, I feel ignored, too.  I'm sure it's not intentional, but sometimes folks get on a tangent and people are left out.
                I've been on the Mental Illness thread and really think it's one of the most sincere yet fun ones ever.  Maybe you'll rethink?  Anyway, at least you're here!

                   I'm sorry Lorlie, were you saying something???  Just kidding.  I know what you mean.  Its very easy to feel like you've been dropped from the conversation on alot of these forums.  Don't let it bother ya.  Finding one good thread in ten is worth it.  Stay sweet

                      when I get ignored I just go back to my own threads where people who actually like me some can come and talk - it works for awhile until somebody discovers they can have another private  conversation for pages and pages there - !  Then I just rudely interrupt and say something unintelligible to make them wonder!  heh heh - good clean fun?

                   I agree with you, forums in general seem to have  a certain schizophrenic feel don't they? Many voices calling out at once! Some of them following, some of them not! Haha, thanks lorlie, I 'll look for the mental illness forum!

                      Thanks so much for the advice all of you, and if looking for fun, please add to the I'm Not Leaving thread Yoshi started yesterday. I have had quite a few laughs with last post is the winner as well.
                      
                      I am not self promoting, sooner or later someon might see I have started a Joys Hub. If you have joys to share I will meet you there, you are all a newfound joy for me. I had given up on going in public for awhile.
                      
                      Now I don't ever have to leave except for catfood... I have cats you know.

    Any forum ,anywhere ,unless you find the title or someones opinion diverse or off the wall can be boring ,from slightly rah rah ,hurry up  to 'kill me now' boring...but
    
    Now to condradict myself, forums arnt boring ,but sometimes people can be ,but thank God everyday (or week) is different.
    
    And the best thing I love about Hubpages is the way they facilitate comments or communicate 'the haps', the writing part ,oh thats my part Ive put it down to reconstruction and revamping my markets..(  in other words b/s  an lazy )
    
    Cosette, cant say I know you too well ,except to say I read your comments here n there on the forum ,sometimes I agreed, sometimes I didnt...
    I wish you well no matter what you do ,just one thing though , you can write many other places , but its the net ,with sites run by humans ,and thats just the way we are ...bloody boring species deep down

    I was recently on an English Forum and it eventually closed down as so many people simply flagged and complained about other peoples writings, even when there was nothing to complain about, I think the same will happen to any forum where the people running it allow themselves to be bullied by the complainers, forums should be monitored by those providing the service and if they dont do that and simply ban people because of some small minded busy body then they should close up shop.
