It's not that I don't have hope in the future. It's that I try not to have hope in certain situations or people to behave any differently than they have shown themselves to behave.
My hopes might be based more on having a community somewhere that I might be a part of, or that Babble will remain as nice an unmoderated board as an unmoderated board can be. My hopes for the future might involve reminding myself that I can post here as long as I like, but if I stop liking it, I can stop posting. It might even be that thank heavens this didn't happen back when I was in more turmoil in therapy or struggling more over medications. It might just be to remind myself that while I'm totally impotent at Babble, and unable to help people in any real way, I'm not impotently stuck at Babble. Unlike middle school, I can leave.
I rarely have hopes of Dr. Bob. If you see me getting really upset about Babble, it likely means I had a few moments of hope in its founder.
