CatgirlDon't worry about it. I'm just going through a REAL rough time right now going through withdrawal from one of my meds. I probably should stay off the msg board so I don't say anything that I'll regret later. Everythings ok about your comment, no worries. I don't have any *true* friends anymore. :(
