Dear Dinah,
I know what you did was a very nice thing, and I do appreciate your help.
It's just that some people thought you actually worked for Dr. Bob and didn't understand that as a monitor - you are also here for understanding too.
I read only a few of your posts to us and thought the same thing as well until I came across the OCD post. I clean my house and brush my teeth sometimes up to 10 times a day, I wash my hands too much and I repeat myself over & over - I wake and do the same things - any variance in my day - blows me a part.
I didn't have time to try going over all your posts but I only know one person in my life to have OCD except my brother who washes his hands too much.
I was amazed that you share these things in public and are a monitor. You're sharing is helping in two ways, helping other people like me who have ocd know we're not alone and by being a monitor and making sure everything is civil. I commend you for it.You seem 95% more optomistic in life than I am and that's just the few posts you did recently with trying to help us girls understand - and just the few posts in Babble that I have read regarding your personal life. Since you are so optimistic - maybe you felt that Dr. Bob's apology or explanation was going to make us feel better - I for one am more pessimistic and didn't quite get it. I wish I was more optomistic (sorry - I am probably spelling it wrong too huh - can't be it and can't spell it either).
Again, I am so sorry and did not mean to offend you. I am not sure if I addressed all the things that have hurt you, but I may be mean to guys that tick me off in real life, but I would never ever want to hurt you on purpose Dinah.
Big Hugs and again,
I'm Sorry.
Cher
