> Let me be clear about the rules...I can not let the darker, more ominous side of me come out because that would be too disturbing for you guys. That is o.k. I really didn't mean to scary you guys. But I always had this theory that if people really get to know me, they would be put off by me. But those who do not really know me, likes me.

Right now, it is really more important for me to have people to talk to than to worry about my darker thoughts. I think my therapist finally is zoning in on my other side now. But she said that she really can not help me if I do not admit that I have a problem. All she can do is to keep me out of trouble. Like telling me I am forbidden from calling up those therapists and such. I think in our next session, I'll tell her that if I let people to really get to know me, I scare them and myself. That is a problem isn't it. Plus, I get very dizzy and disillusional when I am between the two state of mind.

I am happy that I am welcome here. That is all I wanted in the first place.

Thanks.

Tei,

I would be lying if I said I didn't obsess during those two years about the mailman. I did, and this only happened about 5 years ago. We're all human, but we all have a need to be liked for who we are -- not for who we want to be.

It is just that at the moment I was writing the thread, I thought of starting with them since this service is about psychiatry, you know. I obviously misunderstood the rhythm and the conversations that went on this board. So, when I came back under the name, Rzip, I tried to model after some of the other writers in my writing. All I want is for people to talk back and forth to me. In my normal day life, I am extremely shy and I am just unable to carry on any substantial prolonged conversations with people. I thought on this board, I can share some of my most inner thoughts. I guess I got my hopes up again.

I however do not think it is very nice to attack me, or rather use my words against me. I just think that is a bit abusive, and it hurts my feelings. But whatever you guys want to say is fine. All I really want is to talk back and forth to people.
