Request for Reality Check [Panic]

From: Deirdre Moore on 6 Oct 2005 15:51

Hi everyone,
I need to do a reality check with this group. Is there anyone here who has
been offended or repelled or put off, or feels some other negative feeling,
by anything I've said here? There have been a couple of my responses to
QOTD threads that, after I posted them, I wondered if I would have been
smarter NOT posting them. However, they were honest responses, so I let it
ride.

I know I have said in the past that I don't care what other people think of
me, but I find that doesn't hold for the people in this group. I do care
what you think of me.

If you have anything you feel the need to talk to me about, concerning
something I've said on the board, please email me. We can talk it through.

I'm re-reading what I've written here so far, and I'm thinking, "Well this
is pathetic," but I still need to know, pathetic or not.

It's possible this current bout of paranoia is chemical - I'm withdrawing
from Wellbutrin (I'll be starting it again Friday) and I don't feel very
steady, emotionally.

Anyway, all input is, as always, deeply appreciated.

Every once in a while, I update my blog. Check it out, and if it's been more
than 2 weeks since I've written, please scold me. Thank you.

You haven't offended me at all. Don't second-guess yourself. You are doing
nothing wrong.

We are all here to give and get support. That includes you too Deirdre. You
shouldn't have to worry about this kind of thing here as there are far more
important things to worry about I'm sure.

I don't think that you have anything to worry about in this regard. I'll say
it again, don't second-guess yourself. We all have good spells and bad
spells and we are here to help each other through the bad spells.

Getting off of medications isn't easy. I've had to do it several times.
Weird things happen getting onto or off of medications. Strange ways of
thinking and feeling is part of the territory.

You will have to try an awful lot harder in order to offend me<:-)

Hi Deirdre,

Although I admittedly have not finished reading all of them, having just
returned after a bout with a nasty cold, I have never read anything even
remotely offensive in your posts. You are always just your sweet, funny
self :-).

((((((((((((((Deirdre)))))))))))))))

Love,

Dawn
