Tei,
I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings by quoting you, but all we have are words on the Internet. Consequently, by our words we are known.
You are a most intriguing person. Like Shar said, just be yourself and you'll be fine. We all have our own problems in real life as well. I would be lying if I said I didn't obsess during those two years about the mailman. I did, and this only happened about 5 years ago. We're all human, but we all have a need to be liked for who we are -- not for who we want to be.
I don't know who you are, but I'm a 44-year-old woman from Florida. I have social anxiety, general anxiety disorder, and who knows what else. I've just started therapy myself, and I like my therapist so far. I hate meds, so I take only what I need and no more.
Welcome.
Snowie
> > I want to clarify something. I do not fantasize about the therapist all the time. It is just that at the moment I was writing the thread, I thought of starting with them since this service is about psychiatry, you know. I obviously misunderstood the rhythm and the conversations that went on this board. So, when I came back under the name, Rzip, I tried to model after some of the other writers in my writing. All I want is for people to talk back and forth to me. In my normal day life, I am extremely shy and I am just unable to carry on any substantial prolonged conversations with people. I thought on this board, I can share some of my most inner thoughts. I guess I got my hopes up again.

> I really do not mind the critical responses I have been getting. It does get me to thinking about myself. I never thought the responses would be so strong. I however do not think it is very nice to attack me, or rather use my words against me. I just think that is a bit abusive, and it hurts my feelings. But whatever you guys want to say is fine. All I really want is to talk back and forth to people.
