>>Anyone out there?<<
Pax,
I am WAY out there if you catch my drift....
Very astute observations of Internet friendships/connections and personal dynamics. You've been doing your therapy haven't ya? ;)
I wish this board could return to a freer state but then again I wish my civil liberties weren't being ripped to shreds by my "elected" government.
I feel stifled here and there are direct words from Dr. Bob that not all 'voices' would be welcome here which troubles me when you start tweaking with the research population (us).
I miss many names on the board as I have been a lurker from the git go and have watched so many names transform from one to another and people pass in and out on their ups and downs. Some have remained for the duration while others have been scared off by the PBC tone of eggshell walking.
I wish support could be summed up easily but it differs for all of us. A good stern talking to might be just what one needs when another needs coddling and hand holding and reassurances while in their constantly fragile state. So we are apples and oranges. How do we find that middle ground? That balance?
What an odd question to pose to a group of people with mental illnesses and mood disorders. Hah! I find it amusing. Balance. As if we're the experts on that?!
Ok....I'm a bit wound up so I'll wind this up and say that I miss what was once but eagerly look for alternatives to this less than appealing change of PB from the past. But being the past I let it go and just look for signs of hope here while waiting for someone to put together enough bandwidth and a small server to host a little party of the free thinkers who like to toss around coarse language and cultural differences liberally. Pepper their posts with, gasp, cursing! And political thought! And differences of opinions that could be worked through instead of the two year old temper tantrums that have happened on some of the board of which you speak. [self included in temper tantrum stomping off deleting all traces type of behaviour]
Have I gone on enough?
