> Thanks again Tamar for the replys. Its bizarre and I goto think on it, but darned if I am not feeling some better? I still feel rather weird, but not so desparate. I am still functioning.
Glad you’re feeling a bit better. It’s a step in the right direction, eh?
> As to Dr. Bob, I still have 'issues' bout him somehow, but I'll just leave it for now. I just think his policies are harsh to the point of making it difficult to talk, thats all. Poor Alex got blocked. When i'm feeling better maybe I can ask him about that. Not that he'd answer me.
I think a lot of people have ‘issues’ about Dr Bob. He’s something of an authority figure who can block people from using the site; he doesn’t interact very much with us except on administrative matters so he can seem a bit of a mystery; I guess we don’t ever know much about what he thinks and yet he knows quite a lot about what we think (assuming he reads our posts… though I don’t know how he can read *all* of them.) I guess he’s a bit like a therapist in that way. And maybe it’s easy to experience some transference when we think about him.
I was also sad that Alex got blocked. I think I understand why it happened… but I guess the civility rules (like anything) can be open to interpretation.
> Is this wrong for me to ask?But do you still, SI? If not how did you be able to not? You can ignore that if you want. Sorry if I'm rude.
That’s fine; you can ask me anything! I’ll answer anything (though I’m a bit nervous about saying anything that might identify me). Yes, I do still SI sometimes. Not as much as I used to. I usually manage not to by talking to my husband about whatever has triggered the need to SI. And I also spent a lot of time figuring out what my SI triggers were. Certain events and feelings and discussions seem to lead that way, but knowing what they are does seem to help me work through it…
> Tamar, do you take hugs? I didn't used to, now I think I like them.
Yeah, hugs are good! Here are some for you: (((((Muffled)))))
Take care,
Tamar
