Let me guess...
We'll never see Bval around these partsag. Because it's MUCH easier to post a childish diatribe on her blog than actually have to come back and say this to us. THIS way, she can just ignore the shyt she doesn't want to hear. Brilliant.
Bval, I've always liked you. But you came off as a ginormous jackhole in that blog post. For someone who's been a TIP reg for awhile, I expected more out of you. Nobody was even "mean". If you can't handle that, then I guess it's best you GBCTIP. That post was a complete and total overreaction.
Hopefully Annie will pet your hair and tell you that sitting on your couch for the rest of your life is a great idea. But she better watch out... if she steps back and starts to be honest with you... she'll get put on blast on your blog as well!

Re: Let me guess...
BV reminds me a ton of a friend of mine and a girl I lived with in college. Both are the semi-gamer nerd girls and both somehow cannot work for one reason or another. Really all the similarities are striking so I feel kind of bad and like I might have been mean at some point. If so, it wasn't intentional... it's just that both of those girls annoy me to no end with their "woe is me" routine.
That said, I will now make a baseless assumption because I've known two people who she reminds me of so I'm totally qualified! I predict GBCTIP will last a week.
Her TIC ticker was amazingly accurate.

Doglove beat me to it, but here is something interesting:

"I do want to say that I'm thankful for the people who actually were supportive and weren't just judgmental biitches."
... color me confused, I thought that was all of us. BV, I have always liked you. I hope you figure things out and that you get the help you need, truly. That entry was definitely ... something else. It definitely seems like a major overreaction.
She must have just done that because I just clicked on it within the last hour or so?
It's not really an effective argument to say that you don't care what anyone else says after spending several paragraphs caring very much about it.

We miss you and love you always, little firecrackers!
I don't think it was directed at TIP, at least entirely.
Things that make you go hmmmmmmmmmmm.
Oh, yes it was. The last paragraph was a big "eff you TIPers". TIP was called out explicitly as being mean, horrible people.
I hope you have a breakthrough before you burn out everyone around you by forcing them into a relationship of accomodation and exhaustive concern.
as a real live medical marvel, you might consider getting on the health phenomenon tv circuit before other people who lose use of their legs due to stress beat you to it. If your doctors aren't falling over themselves to figure out this incredible thing, I have a feeling its because you're not really going to any.
And there was a random comment about Bliss, which wouldn't make any sense to people outside TIP/TN.

I didn't even think you guys were mean. I held my tongue on her post because I felt like she was exaggerating and looking for an out.
What do you think the initial response would have been if a random and not a TIP reg would have posted the same thing?
I don't understand how you can not walk and accept that your doctors are like - oh we don't know what's going on. At that point don't you say, well EFF I better find some new doctors?? Like life is what is happening to you rather than you having an active part in taking care of yourself.
I really don't think I was mean. I just said it all sounded fishy and asked more questions. Like I said in her post, my brother has recently been having some anxiety issues, so I'm super sensitive to it, but her issues just don't sound legit.
I really hope she gets the help she needs.
Eh, whatever. Hopefully in a few years she comes back and tells us how right we all are. And yeah, I'm continuing to pull punches with her for no discernible goddamn reason.
Oh, and I have to add that I'm super glad I shared the whole, deeply personal process of my H's anxiety disorder, seeking treatment, the strategies we've used together to help him get through it in the past with you, BVal, only to have in thrown in my face. You're so right though, I have no earthly ideaaaa how anxiety is treated or manifested. I always secretly thought anxiety was a cruciferous vegetable.
This is where I was landing.
I pulled my punches too. I ahve a decent understanding "I'm to sick to function, they have no idea what's wrong" type stuff.
I've shared the Mr's hospitalization/struggles/etc...and we get back a passive-aggressive (posting it there to talk about us here soley because you can control comments there + PA) 'you don't know me...thanks those of you who WERE supportive'?
Bah.
I seriously almost peed my pants at this. This comment struck me so funny.

Merry Birthday or Happy Christmas.
oh this is messed up. Bval you must be having a real life crisis to behave this way towards a place that has supported you for the most part. I didn't even realize that people had opened up to you about their personal situations.
Its just effed on the whole to act like a brat & give us the finger via blog post. I really hope you get ALL the help you need, but I think you should get back here & explain yourself. Cut the crap & stop being a baby.
Yeah, you got crap from some posters. It happens. You did NOT get crap from a lot more of us who really thought we were internet friends. Oh well, I guess another one bites the dust. Its just messed up. SMH
Funny how Bval's siggy about being young has come back and bitten her in the ass.
