take care

[luvsterriers]

I will no longer be part of this site. I have personal issues to deal with and don't want to bother anyone.

Take care and I do pray for a cure for IC.

Best wishes & I hope you resolve your problems soon.

You aren't bothering me. And we are always here for you.

Anna...You are welcomed here no matter what is going on. Come back when you feel comfortable doing so. (((Hugs)))

Thinking of you & wishing you all good things. Please feel welcome to come back when you can-

Mickstjohngirl, that sounds like depression talking. We begin to think we are toxic to those we love and anyone around. We think they are better off without us.

That is just not true. You are a wonderful part of this group and we will be made less if you leave. Even if you only come back to read, please come back. Can you pick a day of the week that you might just check in and say hi?

Anna, you have never been a bother. You will always be welcome here!

Dear Anna,

I can relate to you regarding personal problems. However, I suspect that our problems are very different. We are both ICers, so now we have two things in common, we have IC and we have personal problems at the moment. Troubling problems. And we have never met and already we have a bond.:)

I am not sure what prompted you to state you will not be bothering anyone :confused: but perhaps somone on the website made you feel that way.

Please remember that not everyone feels bothered by other people's problems. In many ways, they unite us. Think of all the support groups, like ours here on this website, that unite people with problems.

When an individual has a personal problem its healthy to be united because it helps get that person through. Please don't feel you have to leave this website while you address the personal problems you have. I tend to leave this website when my life is peachy, but return when the personal problems are too much to bare. I find comfort in the support on this website. I feel united that other females struggling to work full time exist. I am not alone. And no one quite understands the struggles of ICers except for ICers.

I wish you the best in whatever you decide to do. Please know you are worthy and that your problems matter just as much as anyone elses! :pray:

Sometimes I feel like a bother too, but posting even my most darkest side results in someone sending me a hug and I feel connected with someone at least for a moment.

I hope it is not depression talking. I don't want to put words in your mouth when I say this. For me, when my depression is talking, and it does talk, I feel like the biggest nuisance to everyone and I shut down and I isolate. The worst thing for me. Everyone is different.

I hope you find help with whatever you are dealing with personally. Sometimes we sometimes need a break from the IC boards and online support.

I hope you feel comfortable to come back when you are ready. There are a lot of wonderful people here. I send you hugs and hope you will be okay.

hugs,
Ophelia:hi:

I hope you don't leave. I got hurt a while back and felt like I wanted to leave, but staying was the best decision I made. I do sometimes take a break, but don't leave. You are not a bother, and if anyone feels that way, they simply don't have to read your posts!! Problem solved.

I agree, what you said does sound like depression talking, give it a day or two or more-- I bet you'll feel differently. I hope so anyway!

Sandra
