There's also the "review your post" stage. Everything you post is deliberate. I always review mine carefully, to make sure I don't get post-banned.

My kind of depression (probably same for many of you) is called refractory (recurring) depression, which seems to respond well to MAOIs. One of the symptoms of refractory (recurring) depression happens to be "rejection sensitivity." So, reading a message from Dr. Bob that I was banned from posting really got me down and I was near tears. Getting banned from something is not exactly what someone with refractory depression needs when they have, through some amazing bit of superhuman effort, pulled themselves out of their funk just long enough to try to seek help.
