Hi all,
Here's something I may have mentioned to some of you off-line, to see what you thought. I gave my ex-boyfriend information on Dr Bob's site, specifically the meds board, since we both were diagnosed with bipolar about 18 months ago, and we were on the same meds, etc. He surprised me a while back by telling me he had been tracking my messages on PSB, and I was a little sickened, knowing some of my posts were personal, about my love life, etc.
I thought he had lost interest in that, but he told me about a week ago that he's still reading my messages on the board, and I wondered if anyone would be kind enough to share their perceptions about it. Why he does this, I don't know - to find out about me, keep an eye on me, etc. Why else do you think he would?
I won't be the judge, I'd like my friends, and people who don't know me, too, sure, to weigh in on this type of behavior. You may suggest that I change my screen name, but that has its disadvantages in terms of people knowing it's me posting, and not someone new... We could debate that, but I'd appreciate comments on the lurking behavior itself.
Thank you,
Wendy
