GG, thanks for the welcome. I'd like to say that I'm glad to be back, but I got overly involved before, and so I'll be more careful this time to balance my involvement. When I was so ill years ago I spent a lot of energy resisting the mental health system that was trying to keep me safe, testing my doctor who I wanted to be certain cared about me, and of course, fighting with myself over acceptance of my illness. On PBA I fall into these old patterns easily.
If you see me as a compassionate person, I am very flattered. I really feared that people viewed me as an agitator and a bully after I got frustrated with what was happening with Mary and others over there. I hope you'll see a kinder, gentler side of me in the future.
