Hi Gracie,
> I shouldn't have used your name in the subject line, that was a mistake. It made it sound like I was directing my post to everybody & you in particular, but that wasn't my intention.
Don't worry about it. I confess, I thought it was directed at me, but no harm done. I figured whatever was going on was coming to a satisfactory end.
> I only used your name because it sounded to me like you might be making your way towards the exit & I got upset because we just lost Shar in the same manner,
Yeah, I was running for the exit door, but not for good and not for all of the sub-boards. I'll post on the main board again in a while, probably next time I'm prescribed something weird. :) I do hope Shar doesn't stay away. That would really be too bad if she didn't come back.
> So I was just afraid you were going too, that's the ONLY reason I used your name in the subject line,
Hey, that's really nice that you care if I leave. Seriously.
> I was offended by the same poster with his continued use of the term "zombie pills" which seemed to imply that I'm a zombie myself as I need this medication to function, and I was also concerned that he might convince other posters to stop taking their prescribed medication.I understand your concern. I think it's the nature of the board that with so many treatment-resistant people, issues will emerge that might make people even more afraid of their medications. In this particular case I was concerned by the labeling of drugs as "good" or "bad" and talking *so* broadly about who should and should not take APs. I wish he didn't come across as so very angry and that he phrased things more gently. It's hard to have discourse.
> I'm really sorry if I offended you myself,
You did't.
> I didn't mean to imply that you're being overly sensitive although I'm sure that's how it sounded.
I'm sensitive. Overly? Dunno about that, but I've been named to the Flaming Amygdala Group over on PSB. :)
> Sometimes I just don't know when to shut up, I'm pretty manic these days with everything going on at home.
Well, I know your plate is pretty full with stressful things. I hope you're holding together okay.
