Hey Bob,I inderstand your last comment. I will not mention death or suicide. I only do this to try and brighten up even the worst sides of life.
In terms of my 'wackiness', that is something I will always be like. But this wackiness will be devoid now of cuss words. If i balls up once in a while I only did it due to memory probs - not to defy your authority. So please be easy with me.
A human being has an inherent potential of strength. I believe we should all capatilize on this. I only believe a lot, but not all, shrinks thwart this. In essence you say to them 'I'm powerless to control my own life'
Dr Bob, I appreciate your allowing such slurs on psychiatry being allowed, since you are a psychiatrist. This represents a wonderful open mind. I too am in uni and want to be a psychopharmacologist. No therapy.
In spite of some of my 'wacky' comments I must emphasis that my diagnosis is not within the realm of a psychotic illness. In other words, such wackiness stems from my innate personality.
I will try my best to follow your rules from now, but i must emphasis That i WILL NEVER EVER POST ANY COMMENT THAT IS MALICIOUS OR DEGRADING TO ANOTHER. I did once with another, but I felt they attacked me first. 2 wrongs don't make a right but.
Oh, the word ass was censored with an astrexis ie a*s. I thought this would placate any latent offence, but you don't like this so I won't do it anymore. Is that correct - I cannot post censored cuss words?
Yours Respectfully,
Ace.
