I have to be particularly careful about not only imput visually, aurally but reading too...I "censor" much of the board. If I were a "regular mental" I dont think I could physically read all the posts, let a lone not be affected in some way. I am in awe of drdashbob...I can understand how he does depend on the posters to give him feed back, he cant be everywhere at once, and he is not infallible.
So, where does this leave me?..like dinah, i could hide, be in my own insulated world, but this particiapation was a decision to participate in something, something, I could take or leave, participate or not, take hours to respond to or, chose to delete. When I first started posting it was very hard to articulate...chat was even harder, but it showed me when my brain was starting to flip...when it was being clear.
I, as well as others who have shared have used this forum as "practice". I practice there, and come to understand a perspective I could get no where else. I have gotten to know people with whom i have many things in common, all over the USA, Canada, Europe and the Far East, all over the world...how could I have ever found you with out this forum?
my illness is biological, with emotional results. I have yet to find a chemical "solution". I need all the support I can get. Thank you, all
