Hi been a while

[Scotty2013]

Hi been a while again, Im back here giving Facebook a rest, I'm find it's increasing my Anxiety. The adding of people i don't know, groups are not run properly, more like dating sites, place is an Anxious Landmine. I'm find it a difficult platform to be open about things,I'm not sure why, yet people here see it also. The only difference here i am not liking 100 things or spending 12hrs a day getting overwhelmed. I wish this Anxiety didn't have so much influence on me, but it does, i get very overwhelmed easily, on the internet as i do in life...and become burnt out and exhausted. yet i don't want to feel left behind. :(..I Hope Geoff and David and few others are still about, I miss your words of Wisdom! Adios! as David used to say! TC 😄

Hi Scotty

Welcome back!! 

Yes Geoff is still here but David left here, I think, last year going overseas (if my memory is correct).

But now there are lots of great caring supportive people who are happy to chat.

Hope to chat again, take care

Hey Scotty ma man

Good, no great to have you back on Beyond Blue with us.

Advice to you, as I give it to all young intrepid wanna-be face-book-airians;   give it the big E !   Steer clear of it and never go near it.  For me it’s a bit like cigarettes;  knew they were bad for me, so never went there.   I possibly drink too much beer, but hey, we’re not all perfect.

Geoff is still here and happening each and every day – plus we’re developing a swag of new ‘regular’ style of posters as well, which is absolutely awesome.  The more the merrier.

From what I can gather, David is no longer a B.B. poster – he’s somewhere around and from reports, is going ok – but unfortunately we don’t have his amazing keyboard talents here anymore.

Scotty, as you know, this site is just so awesome and if you’ve got anxiety happening, open up some more and let us try to help.  But be that as it may, you know by being on here, you won’t get anxiety issues at all – quite the opposite.

Cheers

Neil

Hi Jo and Neil1 thanks, yes your so right it's like a bad addiction. The Bullying that can occur there without moderation is astounding. Least here it is moderated and nobody can target you, i had someone follow me about and Pm with fake accounts , threats really Anxiety Provoking stuff. I made some nice friends so it makes it very difficult to ignore them not sure of a solution yet.., Yet i am finding myself hesitant to log on due to what other surprise awaits me?......from this Person. They really need to up their game Face-book when people complain take it seriously.., anyhow it's nice to see you all, glad David is doing well. Apart from that things are not to bad, another year has flown by, where did it go? :O.  Christmas is upon us again, not my most favorite time of year, forced get together..But trying my best to use the tools that i know to help me..Later :).

That situation you've described on FB sounds downright nasty and toxic.  I have no idea about how it all works, but is there someway that you can totally block that person, so they cannot access your page??  If not, I'd think seriously about doing away with that concept - but that's kinda unfortunate when there ARE other nice people there, that you've made friends with.

Word of advice for ol chap - those tools you know that you can use to help you out - if they're in the "shed", get 'em outta there.  No good locked up collecting dust.  Those tools are invaluable for us to help us get through these trying times, so we need to have them dusted off and in use on an almost daily basis.  That age old adage "If you don't use it, you'll lose it".

Cheers
