If anything I just said, did not take time to explore the possible reasons people were feeling neglected. Sincerely I do apologize.
I was and am still too reactionary, feeling for the first time almost angry, to have had the pleasure of a good mood which happens rarely, smashed, and by seeing Sandra and Bobby and I'm sure me get their hands slapped for having fun.
I think most of us are walking a tightrope and it doesn't take much to get the ball rolling in the negative direction . That did it.

I'm REALLY sorry. I did not mean to put you in a negative mood. I have no problems with anything that you've posted. I deeply apologize for the hurt I have caused you or anybody else.
As I said, I'm leaving so you won't have to worry about me bringing you down again. I hope you can forgive me. I too am reactory.

It was not YOU who put me in a bad mood its just seeing the place I felt safe in become full of venom. But of course I have to say, that last week when I was just "wacked out" (its the best description I can come up with) with exhaustion regarding the whole abandonement, therapy, hopeless feeling we sort of discussed.
It seemed logical to me to call a friend at 130 in the morning and leave a vicious, insulting message on his answering machine for something I perceived as a rude comment (which he'd made weeks earlier)Well suffice to say, the friendship has not recovered. And I felt so remorseful the next day. And still do.
I'm not saying you will change your mind tomorrow, I don't know what you are feeling right now, But if you do change your mind, I know I will understand, and I think others will too.I'm sorry too, that I made you feel personally responsible for my mood. (Thats something my MOM would do)

I'm sorry that you got brought down too. I have never felt the need to defend myself so much as I have starting on PSB. Between the Lou stuff that got out of hand (that I was trying to just "LET GO OF" and now the latest... I can't believe how hurt I am over this.
I am sorry and I hope your day turns around again.
Good job on the sleep thing! Do you think the worst is over?

Oh no, what have I done? SANDRA..... don't you start feeling bad over my feeling over you feeling bad.... It was a principal Sandra, but in your case it also felt more personal because I've only seen you post kind and fun things and I enjoy your posts and support.
But the sort of principle I mean is, I hate to see anyone get hammered, because and I really mean this, our moods affect us all in such different ways, that I can't see how anyone can decide what is support or what is or isn't helpful.Obviously there are a few things that are just "wrong" and standards that have to be maintained, maybe I haven't been around long enough to see anyone obviously flout them oh, I did once but that was squarely dealt with and didn't involve you.
Really though I suppose it is kind of funny to expect a board devoted to this particular type of illness to not offend someone.
I know on a particularly sensitive day I've honestly thought the telephone operator sounded curt and wondered if there was something in my voice that triggered it!Its inevitably I suppose going to become its own vicious circle. Oh I don't know, ever since I've been frightened by my own bathtub I find it hard to be sure of anything I feel. On a lighter note please do read my invitation to you and everyone about the "party".
Coincidentally I put in the part about the prize for the person who had unintentionally alienated the most family and friends BEFORE I saw this mess. It must be "simply" the human condition.
I had a lot of fun thinking up the Dr. Seuss lines, Your note must have stayed in my unconscious because they popped in to my head yesterday on my way to the store, I didn't know I was even going to respond! It was nice to be alone and thinking of someone else for a change.Oh to the question.... I'm not sure if the worst is over,,, I slept because I took NyQuil.
That too popped into my head out of nowhere I remembered my favorite comedian Denis Leary joking about it putting him into a "coma" for days. It worked.you don't have to defend yourself Sandra Dee
its just a wild and wiggly world. I still feel like my letters should be read with a "proper gentlemen's english accent" Where on earth did that come from.... ITS all Dinah's fault... DINAH!!!!!!!

Ah I don't blame you, for not finishing my Novella the long letter about the laundry room incident. At the end I had said Why do I feel like Lewis Caroll has entered my head.... I just felt that I was writing from this pompous british mans perspective. Then I realized it was because Alice in Wonderland had a cat named Dinah. Oh it made sense at the time.
