Moral Support for

Chatterbox: Down to Earth

Moral Support for

Moral Support for Chatterboxers! Or MSC, however you'd like it.

See, I know that we all have different talents and different experiences. I'm also sure that tons if us have different problems that we need to talk about. There's no need to apologize for ranting – ranting is good for you. And if you don't have problems, try to encourage someone else. We have lots of different age groups, people with different hobbies and experiences. I think that together, we could improve and encourage each other. 

Or is this a really lame idea..? I can feel this thread dropping slowly to the bottom.

Ruby has a secret that I know he's been wanting to tell you guys for a very long time but he's too scared to tell you. If you promise not to hate him or get mad at him, I'll think he'll be willing to tell you. Ru-kun, would you be okay with telling them?

Of course we wouldn't hate him (her?)!

I know I could never hate anyone here. Ruby, you don't have to tell us, of course, but if you do, I promise I won't get upset or judge you about whatever it is. We're here to have fun and to support each other; we'll be here for you no matter what.

Of course we wouldn't! Honestly, it's very hard to make me hate you unless you're genuinely a bad person.

Ruby we won't hate you. You're really awesome and nice and so there's no way we would hate you, whatever it is you're going through.

@ FantasyQuill:

This is a good idea, because there have been all these threads for sibling issues, depression and other things, so now we can have collective moral support ness.

NOTICE:

All Chatterboxers will be open to and appreciative and not discriminate against anybuggy else due to anything they post on this thread.

I think that's kind of a given, but this is just to make it official.

We are all friends on the chatterbox and friends listen to each other problems without hating the other person or getting mad. So, with any problem another chatterboxer writes, none of us will judge and get mad at the person, no matter what the problem is.

I don't like my counselor. She's awful and she doesn't understand that Instagram is the only thing that helps. It's therapy for me. And she's just awful and I don't like her. And yes, I see a counselor for my depression now. I told her how Instagram helps me and all she said was "find another coping skill."

I might have to get shunt surgery because the tubing is 7 years old so it's brittle. There's an inflamed spot on my collarbone where my shunt tubing is. And so if the swelling doesn't go down I might have to get surgery. And if I get surgery they'll have to shave part of my head, and if the way my head is shaved the hair would grow back strangely, I'll have to get the rest of my head shaved too. And if that happens I'll be bald when school goes back, which will be AWFUL.

@Maggie:

Advice on the shaving your head: explain that it's a medical thing, and if people are bugging you about it excessively, ignore them, because if they care that much about your hair then they are just doing it to get attention.  I know this, because in October I shaved my head, except it was because I wanted to see what it was like.

Hopefully you and your counselor can eventually find a compromise that helps both of you. 

 

Also, that stinks about the surgery.:(  Maybe you can get them to shave a less-obvious place that can easily be covered?

No I can't ask them to shave a less obvious place because the shunt tubing is kind of all over my head. And I just don't like talking to people in person that's why I have so many friends on the internet and why my counselor isn't helpful. Instagram really is the only thing that works but my counselor doesn't get it!
