Toph, it warms my heart to see you use the words "babble" and "defend" in the same sentence :-)
I have learned to stay away from that Other Place (PC) as its overall temperament is not suited for the likes of me. (That would be that I'm a wimp and easily offended.) So I hang out here, post every day still, and have made many lovely friends, of whom I count you as one, if I may.I've gone through being a deputy and being undone as a deputy; found myself blocked, been unable to untie the shoelace of civility rules and tripped myself quite painfully; and have learned so much about communication styles. I've used babble as a diary for my own mental health journey, and a tool for learning about the medications we take and the labels that we're burdened with. (BTW, you might be interested to know that my diagnosis has been officially changed from mild Bipolar II to Major Depressive Disorder, which explains why none of the mood stabilizers worked very well!)
I'm still on this journey, and I expect that babble will continue for as long as Dr Bob will have us, or if it needs to morph into some other forum at some point, then I hope to be along for that ride too.
But I just wanted to say how nice it is to see your name here.
