> > >Shellie - I think I know what you're talking about and have sort of been feeling the same way. Some of the disputes here I came into late, but I in reading things over, I got pretty upset. Peoople I ordinarily think of as being voices of care and reason were taking rather vehement positions about the motives of others. We're all pretty sensitive and none of us know one another well enough to be able to assume that sarcasm, for instance, is not going to be taken the wrong way, or that people aren't going to go a little crazy wondering if any of it is directed at them. I think Noa is right and that we all have to work at being a little less reactive. The site doesn't work for any of us unless it's emotionally safe and a place of unremitting support. If you do back off, come back soon. I've found your input helpful. ksvt (katherine)
>Thanks ksvt. Since I have been participating on the board during several cycles of support then discord and bitterness, this last round was not a surprise to me. I still intend to participate as always, just try to control myself better, and continue to keep my expectations very moderate.
On another subject, I hope you will take Noa's advise and seek consultation about meds. Because you are feeling so discouraged, this is preciously the time to do. Please follow through. Shellie
