Hey Krissy
Ditto what beardedlady said from me. Please don't let that put you off.
what a terrible "welcome." Its too bad mental illness can't always manifest itself more politely!
And in my opinion I wouldn't worry 'too" much about being dependant on the board, I was for 6 months, I was always posting and then apologizing for posting too much, think all I ever did was ask everyone else for help and not give any back. Everyone here was wonderful about it, and it helped. I think when you are ready to step back you will. Dinah told me you give when you can, thats the way it works.
I think we're lucky to have a group of people to support us no matter WHAT the reason, and the fact that its on line isn't really significant.
Of course its going to hurt when your first hello is greeted in that way, thats normal. I would have felt like someone gave me a shovel punch in the stomach!I don't think its a sign you are unhealthily attached. But of course thats your to figure.
I saw your thankyou to me on the med board regarding the weightloss stuff. I wanted to leave you a big "your welcome" cause I do know how devastating the weight gain problem is.I'm not posting here too much lately, I've been feeling pretty good, and have to get something accomplished in between crashes. (what a crazy way to live)
Anyway WELCOME!
And please that was just *one* opinion and I suspect something that would not be said or felt by the poster 90% of the time.
