Hhoooo boy, you missed something. There was more than one of them really. Complete with commentary by others. And yet I'm still here. I must be hard to embarass away. At the first(?) one, Alii was extremely supportive when I really needed some support. I'll always remember that fondly. Actually, I suppose I still do decompensate on board on a not infrequent basis. :( Luckily I decompensated at my therapist's office today and hopefully got it out of my system.

Awwww, you sweetie. OK then, can I still compliment you? Smooch, smooch. You're the bestest Oddipus. On the other hand it reminded me that my own reception of compliments is sometimes less than gracious. They remind me of how far I fall short of where I want to be. So I'll try to tone them down for you, how's that?

As far as the other, I think different people just have different ways of expressing pain. I understand and identify more with some than others. I feel more capable of providing support to some than others. But all are equally valid.

Posting under different names without being open about it does bother me. A lot. I find it absolutely crazy making. But it's not against the rules as long as people don't post under two names at once. :(

I'm sorry you were hurt by trying to extend yourself to someone who you now feel decieved you. That's got to hurt. I don't think it was done to hurt others on purpose, if that helps any. And to reassure any suspicions you might have, I know absolutely nothing. It just didn't feel malicious. But being hurt is bound to happen from time to time in this sort of forum. Guarding your emotions is vital here, I think, no matter how supportive you try to be. I think I have that part mostly down. Now I need to learn to keep my obsessive little brain from twisting in knots.

Take care of you.
