Hi.. I wanted to make a comment on LostBoyin North Carolina's post to Dinah. I think the wording was a bit harsh, and could be taken as critical. However, I had been having some of the same concerns about the amount of distress Dinah had expressed over the holidays- the impulses to self-injure, as well as the suicidal ideation. I, also, had been thinking that primary attention to effective medication just then would have enabled her to continue learning and growing in her psychotherapy, as she has been doing, without having to endure such a painful period.
I got the impression that LostBoy had finally found medications which were really helping, and that his post was an effort to communicate that. It is really a challenge to allow freedom of expression without allowing posts which will discourage or put down other posters! I. personally, really value the freedom of expression a bit more- perhaps because I know I will learn more from it.
