You scared me over in the writing board. Although i am suprised to hear that your parents object to this board. Did you (calmly) ask them why they object? Do they understand what this site does for you? I understand that a lot of parents view any online discussion board like "dangerous chat lines" however this is a help-site that is monitored. Maybe explain this to them and maybe sit with them at this site and show them the medical board, and the writings board...let them know that you are getting support here,but most importantly that this site lets you truly express yourself anonymously. let them know what the site does for you. I'm guessing that you probably aren't the type that shares everything with your parents (most don't) but maybe if you open up and just let them know that this is important to you right now, maybe that can make a difference?
Are you getting any counseling/therapy right now? if not i STRONGLY suggest it. It's still fairly new to me, but i'm starting to feel like i have at least one IRL ally in my corner. Someone that understands the importance of all the little things i do, all the coping mechanisms i have (good or bad) he understands and doesn't judge me for them.
I REALLY hope you can get back on. I'll even chat with your parents if their willing. :) i'd love to give them my perspective. (i wouldn't try to "talk them into" Anything...just give my opinion of this site).
This is the very FIRST discussion board that i've become part of. I am 31, so i'm no spring chicken and i'm VERY untrusting and overly cautious, so for me to expose myself the way i do on this board REALLY says something. and i would love to talk with your parents if they have any questions i could help with.>>well i'll talk to you guys later. i hope. goodbye. and thankyou. i love you all.
Right Back Attcha Ivan!
Best of Luck (((((Ivan Micheal)))))
