Am I too sensitive?

[Mynxie]

There's been a few posts on BnB that have upset me recently. It's not because of who wrote them and it wasn't anything like bullying or anything stupid like that...and it certainly wasn't the posters fault by any means, but they've (the posts, not the poster) upset me because of my own circumstances. These things are completely harmless, random posts and stuff. To anyone else and without a 70000 word explanation, the fact that I get upset is completely irrational.

Does anyone else get like that, something that is said, completely innocent and often off topic, makes you just want to sob?

 

[Mynxie]

I'm not by any means saying that people shouldn't post some things though...just wondering if anyone else gets like this too?

I have been on a BNB light diet as i have too been getting upset with alot of posts and remarks and threads. Not as much in the way that i have been insulted or takend on personally as a person.

But ye i do so understand where you are coming from.

Things also in the line of our losses and TTC now for over a year, some silly things just plain hurt. Not intended or focused on anyone but ye, you know what i mean.

mynxie i know how you feel.

I know how hard it can get, i ooo and aaa at everyones beautiful babies every day, and i never knew what my baby even looked like, so i know how hard it can be.

Totally understand what you mean - sometimes I have sobbed my heart out at a post somewhere, and to be honest, I'm not totally sure why, or even who, I'm crying for...if that makes sense??

Yes, I totally understand what you're saying and i'm the same way. Its that very reason why I only stick to this section. I very occassionally go into TTC section then slap myself up the head for doing it!

I know what I was like at the start of TTC - excited, anxious, asking lots of questions and i'm sure I too made LTTC'ers offended or upset without meaning too. Its no ones fault because unless you have been there you cannot possible understand. Some things are a given and people can be VERY stupid in thinking that some things they say won't hurt others, but generally speaking, the little things that get to me I have to pull myself up on and remember I was once a 'reagular' TTC'er with all the hope in the world.

I hope that made sense!!!

But yep Mynxie, i'm with ya hun, it is still hurtful none the less.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

You're not alone Mynxie and please don't feel bad for feeling like that.

There has been a couple of upsetting posts over this last couple of week (around the time of your post maybe) - very sad & perfectly understandable for you to feel like this over them (assuming Im thinking of the right posts).

Its hard hunny *hugs* x

 

[Mynxie]

You're probably thinking of some of the right posts, but there were a couple that were completely random and anyone who didn't know stuff about me would be like "wtf?!!" lol

I'm so sorry to hear that there were some upsetting posts! I have no idea what they are, which makes me wonder whether some of them were mine... I was very upset a few days ago, very angry, wanted to vent a bit but I made sure to not write anything upsetting... I hope it wasn't me...

 

[Mynxie]

no hui, don't worry.

 

[buffycat]

hey Mynxie....

i've not seen the posts, but then i know that i get upset by various threads these days.....i get so envious of people who are all so excited in ttc or announcing bfps.....

and there's an article in the paper today saying that people do not have a right to children, but are blessed with them...

that has made me so angry.......if that is so, then why are there so many people out there who are unfit to have children, but still have them>!>!>!

you're not alone though....

I haven't seen the posts, and I haven't spoken to you much recently so im not 100% sure what they were about etc. If you need to speak to someone, I will be on MSN later if you want to chat.

Hope you are ok.

 

[Mynxie]

see to me that's crap - one of the human rights is the right to have a family, i agree with you tbh

There have been many posts over the last 7 months that have upset me. I have cried, yelled at my computer and been emotionally upset by them. You are not alone. I think when we feel very emotional about the situation, it is easy to take things harder than maybe we should. I understand how you feel.
