> Why should anyone here have infinite patience? Each of us is struggling with our own problems, although we do try to help others as best we can.

Hi, dunno whether I've talked to you before. Small brain I got. Think I pickled it. Anyhow, I agree with this.
>
> Very few posters here are therapists or therapists-in-training. And, for legal, ethical and other reasons, those who are therapists or studying to be therapists would be well-advised NOT to attempt to "treat" people they meet online.

***We are not treating. We are people in the same boat trying to help each other out. If you'll notice, the T's in training also have issues of their own and I REALLY value their input of how things can be from the other side of the fence also. And we can help them too.
>
> I've said this before, but I guess I have to say it again: We are not therapists. Dr. Bob is not our therapist and, therefore, he is not your therapist. You have to find a therapist you can see in person, closer to where you live. Psychobabble is not a therapy board. It is not a substitute for real, live therapy with a real, live therapist, which you need.

***Yes I completely agree with this. Deneb needs to get herself stabilized. She was doing really well on her meds.
>
> I can't find the post now, but in the last few days, someone else here (ClearSkies, perhaps?) made the decision to recuse herself from threads like this. From now on, I am going to do the same. Many of us here have tried over many months to help you in so many ways; all this, in spite of our own distress. And now, it's the same thing all over again, every other week or so. I think I would be "enabling" if I allowed myself to get enmeshed in this type of thread again.

***We all seem to need to take a break from time to time. These are real people with real pain and its hard all right. I myself have just returned after a break. If something here is triggering for you, yes, you have the option of not reading or responding. We have choice.

> I am very sorry that Larry has been blocked again while he was trying to help. He is such a great asset to this forum. He has so much to offer, and he gives so generously. And HE is the one who was blocked??? I don't understand. I will never understand.

**I don't mean to upset you or diss you Sara or anything, but Deneb, if you read this, YOU ARE VALUED. So is Larry. But he got blocked because he didn't back away or was unable to, or got too involved or whatever. We all need to learn to restrain our behavior, and know when to walk away. Just like IRL. I've been blocked, pbc'd etc. Didn't like it, but now I understand. Thats why I HERE. Its relatively safe and controlled.
However I GOTO say DR. BOB if you read this, 6 weeks is an awful long time. Not sure I agree with that set in stone increasing punishments thing.
So Sarah, please don't take this wrong. I just wanted to post this in case Deneb felt bad, cuz I know she lready does.
((((Sarah)))
((((Deneb)))
Take or leave hugs.
Take care.
