Thank you for seeing me as kind. I was afraid to say anything at all over there, seems like any opinion is bound to offend someone. Even a kind word might alienate someone who's angry, you know?
I just read your other post to Gabbi about withdrawing. I'm the same about socializing--I want it most when either hypomanic or despairing. I have to watch out with hypomanic real-world socializing though, since I tend to want to forget about sobriety and can display (I quote the DSM here) "inappropriate sexual behavior". I guess here it's safer to be hypomanic, where the parties are all virtual. :) never thought of that before.
When really really depressed, I'm most likely to rely on my therapist, then friends as 2nd line. It still bugs me that no one is as comforting as my therapist, makes me think I'll be dependent forever.
Thanks for your email too, I'll add it to my address book. Mine is silverfish2 at aol dot com. Email anytime. I may get into chat one of these days, but when I used to use IM I found it a little nerve-wracking.
