I have also at times felt really bad about the time I've spent obsessing about myself instead of getting out there with my son. the time in my head, wondering what's wrong with me, and the time I've cared, worried, and wondered more about ppl I know only through babble. then i feel guilty about my own family.

Hi wings, thanks for responding. My shrink is my only therapist. He wishes I would try intensive psychotherapy to see if I couldn't lessen the persistant dysthymia I have. I can barely afford his $165 sessions for my necessary medications. Do I like him? In a Bob sort of way, he's smart, he cares about me (yeah, I think Bob cares about us), but neither are the surrogate father my second, and now retired, shrink was to me.If Babble is important to you now, go with it. Even my current shrink even supports my Babble use. When it no longer interests you as much as things IRL will, Babble will begin to slip away (it's really not as bad as heroin, after all). Your family probably won't understand unless you try to explain, but that this is a private haven is part of its appeal.
I wish you the best.
