Cool you're getting out. I developed, very suddenly, severe arthritis in my hip. Saw an orthopedist and he said -- you need a new hip. Had a replacement this summer and only recently have been able to go for walks again -- just really the last three weeks. I went for long 4-5 mile walks several times now, alone, with a friend, with my husband. Feels great. The cool air, the foliage.
Going to more 12-step meetings, calling people.
I still check babble every night. Don't know why. Just find the conversations helpful and supportive.

7 more sleeps.
Trying to get into respite, presently. I said I'd happily take a seclusion cell. I think they would rather discuss my chemical straight jacket options with me tomorrow for over the next week.
One day at a time.
I'm out for the day today, too. I'm going to go for a walk along the harbour, which I haven't done. They are trying to revitalize it for residential / high tech marine industrial from dirty industry.
I'm pretty sure we have had run ins before. I think... The other times make our friendship worthwhile, though, yes? Or at least... They do for me.
Sending warm and gentle vibes your way. (((PC)))

Holy moly, you made me cry.
Thanks, Alexandra. It meant a lot to me. Yes, we had run ins, or rather I think you stood still and I would run us both over. Two for the price of one? No, it was two for the price of two.I am sorry for being such a triggery sh*th**d.

Dear PC,
I don't know whether or not your sentiments towards me have changed, but I would prefer that we treat each other with more kindness and less distrust.
Just in case it is really an issue with you, I would like to again emphasize that no matter how you view yourself, your intelligence and sophistication become obvious very quickly. If I really didn't feel this way, I would not have written this paragraph. I doubt that you would value obvious platitudes.
I never wanted to see you leave Psycho-Babble. Your presence here is valuable, regardless of whether you are partlycloudy or clearskies. I would love to see you be the latter.
- Scott

>I go to my support meetings Sunday evenings. It's the kind of place where, if you ask whether anyone there has ever been told grow thicker skin, all hands go up.
If you ask whether any of us have suffered from social anxiety, all hands go up.
If you ask whether any of us have been called cry baby, all hands go up.Kind of incredible. A room full of PC's. And what is more interesting is what brings us together. Intuitive gifts. It can get a bit shamanic, or old fashioned religious, but we each have gifts of intuition.
What I have learned is that the more I trust mine, the more likely I am to have made the right decision. My heart rules over my head, or I lose.
Maybe that is why I get into such voracious pits here. I am using my head and not my heart?

This applies to me. Prazosin is a drug that is known to be effective in treating PTSD and other manifestations of childhood maltreatment and neglect. I take 25 mg/day in 3 divided doses. It really helped with my depression.
Sleep well.

Just to put my two cents in, I'd like to say that Scott is my favorite Babbler.............to ignore.
And, PC, that is my recommendation to you.

Hmm...I don't feel I received any support or education from that post. Educating the community to ignore a specific poster, are you?
That shouldn't qualify and does not in my book. Not to mention the put down inherent in it.
The timing of this seems unusual. Are you pot-stirring for some reason?
Puzzling.
I hope SLS and PC keep talking.

I don't think I know Moishe.
Do I?
I rather prefer to keep things one on one conversation wise unless I missed something, um, BIG.
Thank you, 10der. And sorry for being the wild card, yet again.

It really has. The feeling of the wild, wild, unmoderated west.
I don't know what to make of this, unless people have been taking the same meds I have. (Need some, er, tweaking.)

I believe Dr. Bob mentioned that he was monitoring the other boards more closely than Administration. I think it is a matter of insufficient time.

Oops. I just realized that this is not Administration.
Sure feels like it.

I don't suppose you need me to tell you that I've found you quite likeable. In fact, I was telling my husband the other day that I think he'd enjoy your humor and view of life.
I don't know why anyone would feel compelled to share their negative opinions out of the blue = particularly in a situation like this where rapprochement had begun. I just don't understand that. I will say nothing more, except that I wish Bob were a bit less random. I never had an urge to live in the Wild West.

A poster reveals a simple preference, and the rattled cages can be heard around the world. You guys are way too easy.

I think it would shock the hell out of you to learn just how little my cage is rattled by you.
Try not to confuse silence with capitulation.

Please don't post anything that could lead others to feel accused or put down.
More information about posting policies and tips on alternative ways to express yourself, including a link to a nice post by Dinah on I-statements, are in the FAQ:
http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/faq.html#civil
http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/faq.html#enforceFollow-ups regarding these issues should be redirected to Psycho-Babble Administration. They, as well as replies to the above post, should of course themselves be civil.
Thanks,
Bob
PS: This block is the result of one action, but its length is the result of a pattern of actions. The block length formula:
http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/faq.html#enforce
takes into account how long the previous block was, how long it's been since the previous block, and how uncivil the current post is:
duration of previous block = 1 week
period of time since previous block = 14 weeks
severity = 2 (default) + 1 (uncivil toward particular individual or group) = 3
block length = 2.32 rounded = 2 weeks
