Ouch. I'm trying to be your friend here, but I don't know you well enough to know how to watch what I say.
Well, actually, people aren't allowed to post under more than one name at a time. If caught they will get blocked. And Dr. Bob does check.
It is allowed to change your posting name, but is strongly, strongly encouraged to tell folks that you used to post under another name. A reason doesn't have to be stated, but it is preferred.
People will often put a different phrase in the subject line if they are addressing just one part of a post. It helps to know what is going on if not all responses have the same title.
But if it goes off topic and it looks like it will stay there, then another thread should be started.
Now back on topic.....I don't think that it was a 'small' step for you. Taking charge of your treatment like that seems to me to be a huge deal.
Good luck. I'm here a few times a day - on weekdays (my home machine is in the room my son uses and is rarely available).
