Yes, of course people can continue to post the way they do now. And of course, Gabbi's right about having faith in posters. I ignore the boards I can't post on as it is now unless someone posts something about someone I care about on Social (as sometimes happens because a concerned poster can't post directly to 2000) and I'm moved to go see what's going on with them. Of course, I can't help any because I'm not allowed to post, but I'm still concerned enough to want to help because I care.
But that doesn't change the fact that Dr. Bob, a mental health professional and a human being I admire, doesn't "get" it. Perhaps that shouldn't bother me as much as it does. Positive transference coming to ground with a thud? Except that it's thudded so very often that it must be broken to pieces by now. And it's not something unexpected from Dr. Bob. Quite the contrary. So why does it bother me?
I think it's the impotence. I always feel so impotent around Dr. Bob. The only way to avoid that is not to care what he does. I've gotten better at that I guess. But not yet good enough.
Restricted boards? How very... interesting.
I'm practicing.
If only he'll quit enticing me to express myself when it really won't make a bit of difference. Hmmm...
Dr. Bob, please quit teasing me with ideas when I really can't get anywhere with them. It's quite frustrating.
