My only shot at not being harmed by this community as it is currently run by you is to stay away. I can't afford to have my work suffer. I can't allow my family to ask me on and off all day what's wrong? Am I ok?I'm glad you're able to work, and to function, even if it's difficult, and requires medication, and your family worries about you. But maybe I have lower standards.
I didn't mean to say you should learn not to get so upset. Getting upset is part of life. What I'd like is if you would continue to be part of this community despite me and my policies getting you upset from time to time.
