Oops! Switzerland added, France removed!

I can see your post Cascade. BB I didn't see your reply, just the yellow bar but as soon as I clicked on "See This Post" there it was and here I am replying to both. 

I'm not sure this is terribly helpful for you Cascade. Maybe that's why no-one has used this feature in the past.  One of the downsides to a public forum I guess; there are always members you don't especially want to interact with. 

Well, I don't know about Cascade, but I could find this useful. Say if I get triggered every time I read a particular mbr's posts, then it would be helpful for me to ignore/block because then I wouldn't be tempted to read or my eye wouldn't catch the post by mistake. Also the person couldn't PM me, even if they wanted to. I guess I'm saying it could help me to dis-engage.

I don't know about PM, so if you experiment on that with Kizzie it would be cool if you let us know here on the thread

I'm on Cascade's Ignore List (for the experiment). When I attempted a PM, I got a pretty clear message in red: User 'Cascade' has blocked your personal message.

Same with Kizzie, so you being Admin makes no difference here. You can block / ignore me with impunity

Sending a PM does not work!

This is what happens. Now I'll send you a PM and let's see what happens...

[I can read your post and even copy it to reply]

I tried it too and see the yellow bar but the question is can that person see our posts and reply?  BB I am going to add you to my ignore list - can you let me know if you can still see my posts and reply to them? I'll make a post to you in this section.

You learn something new every day around here 

Yup, you do learn something new every day but more specifically YES I can read your post and even copy it to reply as you can see

Who knows? Maybe one or other of these websites or one or other of therapists on them have contacts in France?

1) I got out of bed and stayed out
2) I finally showered and washed my hair after a number of weeks of not doing so
3) I took my meds

Cascade, I've just tried it out, just out of interest.

I see the name of the person I'm ignoring on the forum, but instead of the post, I see a yellow bar informing me that I'm ignoring the person. On the yellow bar there is also the option to read the post after all.

I can also edit my Ignore List and retract ignoring this person. So let the experimentation begin!

I don't know about PM, so if you experiment on that with Kizzie it would be cool if you let us know here on the thread unless it's me you're Ignoring in which case maybe Kizzie will let us know

Cascade, no you are definitely not alone in this! Basic self-care is mostly really difficult for me. Some of it has to do with an intense and deep feeling of "Why bother?"

 

Hey, it's great you got it re-scheduled!

To err is human and you are human, you are not a machine.

I imagine somewhere in your past somebody wasn't too forgiving about honest mistakes.

I've been off all meds for a week. I know that doesn't make anything any easier, but this cognitive knowledge doesn't seem to help. Today I finally took the most important medication again - thyroid. Maybe I'll manage anti-dep as well tomorrow.

Next week I'm finally getting back into trauma therapy, though that's not what got me moving again today.

Thanks for letting us know and tons of good wishes for what you're facing  

No worries BB, it wasn't blunt and I know you well enough after all this time together to know how you write. That's the thing about friendship, you don't have to worry as much about how you sound because the other person knows your heart if that makes sense. 

Thank you for saying that Kizzie.
