I am staying!!! Update!!!! Update 10/7

A page in the diary "She who must be obeyed thinks she is always right!!!"

Migraine, meds and sleep. Had to move rooms as I woke up with a coughing fit and hubby said (now he doesn't remember) to move beds. I did that and then I got cold and went back to our bed and hubby asked where I had been.

Going to have my chest xray and do some grocery shopping because we are out of food.

I would like to point out one thing in regards to Not Happy's last diary. I replied to his offensive diary because he degraded me and upset me and if he hadn't written it, I would not have replied as Al1970 points out so poigntly 4 times. I AM NOT responsible for people leaving depnet - he made his own choice just as many other deppies have done.

I take notice of the requests that people have made to not write in their diaries but admit I do read every diary as I care about every deppie, even the ones who have said don't write in my diary. No rules about reading diaries.

I will continue to write in people's diaries until they tell me otherwise - guess Hollyw we won't be writing in each other's diaries - stay away from my diary and I will stay away from yours.

I can't understand why people see me as a ogre. There are worse people in depnet who make deppies life hell and I am critised for standing up for myself because someone offended me. Got me. Seems double standards in depnet but hey, that's not a bother to me as I will be here to stay - that means you deppies who don't like me have to put up with me because this site helps me, even if you don't think it is helping me.

Will update later on.

Take Care All!!!

PS I had to go and see the doctor and get another referral for my chest xray - couldn't find the original of the request in the car. Locum checked my breathing but didn't check my throat - back on the horse tablets and then a chest xray. Went and had that and it is clear. Mumof2, I forgot to ask the locum about whooping cough. I have a very sore, raw throat and nothing showing in the chest to cause the gunk I cough up. Going back to the doctor tomorrow for a review of the xray and will try and remember to ask about the whooping cough. Mumof2, how would you describe the cough from whooping cough? I seem to have a normal cough. Also how do they test for it - blood test or what to make the diagnosis.

Went to Mcs and got a drink to cool my throat down and then went to coles. Can't cope with the people being around/standing around in groups today at Mcs - bit of a panic attack. Uni and school students don't have any consideration for people and block pathways so people either have to go through them or around them but can't avoid them. Be glad when the kids go back to school on Tuesday and uni students go back in a couple of weeks.

Thanks Mick for your inspiring diary entry. Made me even more determined to stay. I had been letting things roll off my shoulders but when NotHappy started the last war, everything got too much for me and I reacted/retaliated to preserve my dignity. Not always a good thing to do but the insults were coming left, right and centre so I had to defend myself. I will stay away from the people's diaries I have been told to not comment in but no one has the right to stop me from reading diaries because they are out for the public. If you don't want anyone to read them, make them private.

Mods, think this needs to be really looked into because people are being picked on/bad mouthed by people who no nothing about the person and shouldn't be allowed on this site - believe it is a breach of etiquette in not happy's diary about the things he said about me.

Take Care All!!!

I have read the entries on not happy's diary and you people who are supporting him, know nothing about me/or me. I cannot believe the things I have read that I am meant to be. Why don't these people have the guts to put it on my entry. I did leave one or two positive entries about Matt leaving but all my entries were deleted except for the last two, and then I started to defend myself because the comments that people were making about me were wrong, false, inflamatory, derogatory, mean, nasty, filled with hatred. Maya and DarlingNiki are full of crap/evilness. This niki person has been here a month and is already judging a person whom she doesn't even know and has contributed one diary about being a slut - perhaps the truth hurts.

I stayed away from depnet like the moderators asked me to do and I am here now and people can like it or lump it. I will read diaries and comment where I think I can help a person and stay away from those I know do not want my help/encouragement. Their loss, not mine. I have friends here that I care about and don't want to lose contact with them and hope that the fact that people are supporting me to stay means that they want me to stay. I am not an evil person. That is the job of two others here on depnet. I just live quietly here minding my own business and if I see injustice towards someone, I get into trouble for defending them.

Take Care All!!!

Comments from the community:

Of course you should stay if the site is helping you. FWIW, I have not understood any of the complaints.

Hi Studying1

I've not replied to your entries nor to any other's for that matter in such a long time, i'm trying to stand clear of the ongoing problems that go on here.

I do however read alot of diary's as it gives me an insight into how other's cope with their illnesses in the hope i may get some great advice in order to help me....and some diary's do help.

I just thought i'd come on after reading your entry here and give you my support, i've found alot of your entries to be of some comfort to me personally with regard to my illnesses.

Basically, i just want to say that it's great to hear that your not leaving this site as you leaving would be a great loss to those like me whom find good advice from your diary's.

As for not being responsible for making people leave this depnet, i agree!

No one can make a person leave, them alone are responsible for their own departure.

I also dont believe you you should tolerate the crap from other's as well, that goes for everyone.

It's a shame that people have and still are leaving this site because of the ongoing arguing and bickering, it's pathetic really.

We all have our own problems to deal with, it's just some people like to cause others more problems by replying to entries in a negative way.

Obviously the mods dont care about the going ons here, if they did then they'd put an end to it.

I think they need to sack the current mods and hire new ones, ones that will be more responsible.

Anyway, just wanted to let you know that i take alot of interest in your diary's and thank you for the advice and support i get from them.

Take Care,
mickm

studying1,

In adults the whooping cough is the same as a normal cough. It is only in children that you get the "seal like" whoop sound at the end of the cough. Coughing up of mucus is a symptom of whooping cough in an adult.

Testing for it is either done by full blood count to see the levels of lymphocytes, or by a nasal cavity swab (trust me you do not want this as I had this done). Now I know what horses feel like when they get wormed!!!!

Make sure you get the gp to check things for you and insist on a blood test if you are not getting better. Too many nasty bugs going around at the moment.

Hope this helps.
