> Wow! You did great! I'm impressed with how you were able to be so open and honest. Alot of people out there are in denial. That was a very strong & positive first step.
Thanks! I tried to include everything I could think of to say about my situation. I'm always honest though. Sometimes I leave things out, not always intentionally.

> Just know that pdocs are just people. Every one of them is different just like other people. So it stands to reason that you might not get a good fit with one every time. I hope you can go back to the one you had the good rapport with.I really feel like pdoc2 just doesn't know what to do to help me. What did he tell me when I told him of my occasional obsessions with Dr. Bob? He said, "Some people have obsessions. You'll have to make a conscious effort to stop obsessing over him." (or something to that effect)

> Alot of people here care about you. Don't worry about all the hoopla on the boards, it happens. The people here are very passionate about their feelings, so when they get upset, they're going to raise the roof. But even though it may have begun with you, that doesn't mean its all about or directed toward you.Thanks. Someone else told me that too. There's a lot of history in the archives.

> Chatrooms are an unique way of communicating. I've always said I'm going to write a book about it. There is so much chance of misunderstanding when you don't see a person's expression or hear their voice. And some people are better than others at expressing themselves through writing. It would be virtually impossible for misunderstandings and conflict not to occur.I understand that so much better now. I know for sure that people would not have reacted the way they did to me had they seen me in person. Plus, I know I wouldn't have said the things I wrote in person. There are some major disadvantages to communicating via this medium.

> That's so cool that you're talking to Larry. His good nature and wisdom comes through in his writing. And it just goes to show you, just because someone may get upset with you on the board, doesn't mean they'll feel that way forever.Larry's as cool IRL as he is online! Larry's a great guy. I can't wait to meet him. I never get upset with people for long periods of time, no matter what they did or didn't do. I never hold grudges. Plus, I knew Larry was just trying to help me in his own way.
