Dont want to be clingy. but........ sold him ............ and...

I have to say, as a viewer of MrsD/MissLToes posts for as long as she's been on this forum, I see little change today in the way she's posting compared to any other thread she's ever made. She's never been coherent. Not sure why the massive concern all of a sudden tbh.

 

[MudMudGloriousMud]

How have you guys messaged Admin? I'm so useless on computers!! I've opened a thread asking Admin to contact me :/
Thank you DEEDEE83 - very kind

Yes she has been somewhat erratic, but perhaps she has always been mentally ill? I don't 'know' the poster very well, so I can't really say, but I just get a feeling that something isn't right.

I may well be proved wrong, and look like a complete prat, but I'd rather that than something happen and be left with the realisation that I did nothing.

I have a friend who has family in Dunoon. If anyone can find out details my friend knows some of the horsey community there.

The horsey world is a small one, thankfully.

 

[Echo Bravo]

Because she may need help? That most of us have only found out now, that she needs friends, even if we are many miles apart.

 

[Patterdale]

I don't think there's any need to start tracking her down....just a bit of compassion next time instead of people calling her 'weird' for wanting to keep in touch with her horse, and pulling the racism card.

just PM the Forum Admin Team I think, thats who I've contacted before. there's no need to panic, MrsD was logged in after she was banned, I doubt its permanent if its a first offence. Even if she were, she could still read this board and know everyone is concerned for her.

Like you,I think those of us who have known MrsD on the forum for a long time are familiar with her way of posting. I do think the last year has been quite hard for her and now her boy has gone, its different.

Thank you MotherOfChickens - that has calmed me Normally I walk away from these bashing threads, and I have had words with MissLtoe before, so could easily walk away this time, but something just didn't sit right in my gut somehow..... either that or my tea wasn't cooked properly :/

No I'm pretty sure she's been banned before, however doubtful this will be a permanent banning regardless. She hasn't exactly done anything grievous.

I'm England but happy to have email contact. I'm sorry if people can't see the concern but I think its better we try then hear something bad happened. Its nice that we all pulling together here

Agreed, I'd hate to think of hearing on the news that something we could have prevented had happened. Time and compassion don't cost much.... x

What was the panic because she said a silly phrase, it wasn't said in a racist context, people are so quick to point the finger and be judgemental.

well, I am pretty dim (and didn't read the whole thread) but it took me a while to click the two posters were the same one-this horse saga has been going on a while and I'm sure its been pretty upsetting.Am not about to stalk anyone but always happy to blether

Its not because of the phase she put we concerned overall about how she coping with the parting of this horse and her mental state. I'm sorry if you think I'm over-reacting but as someone who needed someone recently and didn't I don't want the same to happen to someone else

I wasn't referring to people's concern over her well being, that's very kind I meant people over reacting because of something she said and blowing it all out of proportion and branding someone that they don't even know a racist.

 

[Caol Ila]

Hope she's all right. I'm also in South Lanarkshire, so not desperately far from Dunoon.

 

[sarahann1]

MrsD is MissLToe?

Yes.

I'm afraid after the whole 'Strangles debacle' I can't find a huge amount of sympathy for her. 'If' there is a mental health issue then that's horrible and needs treated.

Ok sorry I appolgise

 

[Echo Bravo]

Are you saying she's a troll?

 

[Daytona]

Fwiw I've heard older people use the term 'nig-nogging' as a slang for niggling. So I read the comment differently to other people it seems. That, and the OP apologised when someone drew her attention to it (too late to edit).

Absolutely agree with this, my mother who is from Glasgow and in her late 60's says it all the time when she feels I'm moaning at her.

Nig nogger to her is a niggler or picking at her

Absolutely nowt to do with race or colour of someone skin

I hope the pathetic button pusher is chuft for what they have achieved

Upsetting a older woman who clearly was already upset enough

Slept easy tonight won't you .....

 

[Shysmum]

everyone calm down.......and breathe....... this is a public forum, and you meet all sorts on here. You cannot help everyone, or indeed save everyone. This is a horse forum. NOT a mental health forum ( and I have been on many of those, and this has NEVER happened on them). Just saying.

Attention seeking and trolling are a way of getting people running around like headless chickens.

 

[Roasted Chestnuts]

And in English?? :-D

What is you computer keyboard on summat else?? Looks and reads like English to me even though the iPhone predictor text has changed two of the words on the first line. Starts off

The thing is though that you who are ..... The rest is pretty self explanatory

Agreed some of us have issues and get upset and have episodes, we don't broadcast them on open forums, well nobody I know does and neither do I. That's what a therapist is for ime

And have you thought about why people "attention seek" and "Troll"? It's not always malicious, but it is usually down to mental health.

No, this isn't a mental health forum, but neither is it merely a horse forum.... it is a community, where people have emotions and conflicts, and where friendships are formed.

If you have ever had any form of mental illness (assumption based on your frequenting MH forums) then surely you have the compassion to realise that just because someone can be a bit of an a*se sometimes doesn't preclude them from help when they need it?

 

[Shysmum]

thanks BB - need to call mine asap , lol !

edit - MUD - i do not need to justify myself to anyone, and do not care what you think. The help is out there if needed, and I am sure the poster is not expecting help thru this horse forum - wrong place to look.

You need to calm down. You cannot change people's actions or opinions, as much as you may want to. You will grind yourself into a hole. Live and let live. people have to fight their own real (or imaginary) battles.

ps, I am bipolar. And proud of it.

But it costs nothing to be nice. She is a long term poster and her story with her horse has been an eventful one.

What if the OP has no one else??? What if her horse WAS her 'therapist'?
I was left without psychological help for several months because of my age (not a kid, not an adult at the time) - I had several near misses in that time....what if the OP is completely alone?

Mental Health is a taboo subject and people round her might not seen the signs and she may help before it too late. As I've said before the selling of her horse may have tipped her over the edge

 

[Shysmum]

Mental Health is way beyond the remit of this forum, trust me ! I send out love to the poster if required, but the help she needs, IF she needs it is not to be found here.

And mental health is FAR from a taboo subject for a lot of sufferers - we are only too happy to explain what is going on. If I can help one single person then I will.
