> hello Zarah! welcome!
Thank you!! :)
> You were taking 20mg of xanax a day???? That's an awful lot, did you mean 0.2?
Maybe it was 0.2mg? I tossed the empty bottle and have a little memory dyslexia once in a while. At any rate, I remember there was a 2 & it worked for me! :)
>Anyway no mind. Personally I really think it is a bad idea to reveal your real name EVER on a msg board. Especially one where you are revealing information about your mental health & personal life. The way I see it is anonymity guarantees your safety. Also, yes this is a great site but I find it best to get to know people a bit before I reveal too much. A lot of people come & go so there are many strangers & they are not all genuine. Im not trying to put you off, this is a great place for support etc but just take care with it.
Yeah, I have noticed that anonymity seems to aid in the sharing process most times. Its like, when someone cant see you as you share things, and you cant see them if they judge you, it's almost as if it isn't really real, but you still get the benefits of the unloading. I've always been weird about crying in public - meaning, I DONT do it. Childhood issues. So, writing things down online, I can cry all I want and no one see's it, so its all ok. Maybe the name thing goes along with some old superstition.. the one where they used to say if someone knows your name, they have power over you.
I dunno. More rambling thoughts prevail. :)
Thank you!
