> Wanted to say welcome to BabbleThank you all so much for your attention! I'm addicted to this site now, i never realized how starved i was for someone to talk to about my problems without freaking people out. My one good friend is 2,000 miles away so i get to call her but--this is so nice. i joined a support group a long time ago in Realworld and it added more stress than helping. this teenage girl latched onto me immediatly--she was a very sweet girl and i cared for her, but she demanded much attention to the point where i never got any sleep at night because she would call me up randomly and threaten suicide or indirectly ask me if i thought she'd be cooler by taking drugs or dying her hair green. It just got to be too much responsibility and i guess i did to her what all my friends did to me--left. i'm not sure to what extent i should involve myself, i have to save myself from company detrimental to me. But this group seems really healthy. of course advise is asked or given or commented on, but if i need a break, i can get away. does that sound cruel? anyway, thanks for listening! laural
