Precisely what I love about the board too,
and as for the Pathologizing well I won't go on, (ha) but in a response to BarbaraCat regarding her tantrums, I said about the same thing.And about the relationships, its so easy for someone to say "well if they can't accept you for who you are you don't need them"
but in all honesty if I'd only known someone a short period of time and they started telling me all the stuff that I tell people, before I've had a chance to see just what their 'crazy' limits are, I'm not sure I'd stick around though lately I've been so desperate my standards are crashing around my ears....Its so hard to know when you are doing to much "navel gazing" when if you saw your "pathologized" traits characterized in a movie you might find the heroine charmingly quirky..
Its that constant agony of grief and loss that I can't walk away from, or at least haven't found a way to yet. And so far the only time I've seen men fall in love with mentally tortured women is in foreign films....Oh, one more thing about the ridiculousness of depression. this is for you to laugh at by the way. When I read your "when it all falls apart"
As I said, it was "me" and I think we'd all be lying if we said there isn't some comfort in seeing someone you can relate too,, (though of COURSE you'd never wish it on anyone.. well except someone who didn't believe in depression)
But when you said you were going to drive until the gas tank was empty, I thought, "I'm still worse off because I can't even drive" boo hoo.Its nuts.
And yet like you I can seem so casual about it days later...Thanks for saying Gab-away, right now the ONLY positve feedback I get is from the 'board' and little things like that mean a lot
Take care:
keep me posted
Thanks Gabbi-Gabbi
