Tammy,

I think it it funny that I regularly do every one of the coping mechanisms that you mentioned.They work to at least make things tolerable. And I like your positive attitude. When I was younger , I was angry, isolated and depressed and also drank to deal with it.

I stopped drinking, have come out of my shell and been much more social. I am so much happier and enjoy being around people, even it they drive me crazy at times. I missed out on so much of the joys in life by being isolated from people. 4S contributed to my social isolation but I have learned to cope with it because my desire to interconnect with others is a such a strong motivator for me. I need and love my family and friends and don't want to miss out so I have just learned to deal with it.

I think in time, and with more public awareness, we can live more normal lives. I, for one, will not give up living, learning and enjoying life, regardless of this debilitating condition.

I feel that confronting this problem is the key to overcoming it.

I'm very new to the group also and noticed that there is a difficulty level in keeping track of the messages as some of the messages for one topic are typed in under a different topic. For some reason, the thread from of July 2010, became the thread that some of the respones were being typed in as opposed to my thread of introducing myself and asking a CBT question recently. It became even further complicated with the topic going off course but don't get discouraged. I was just trying to heal your reaction on the ethics of the doctor because I thought you may have misread the intent there due to the complications of the topics getting mixed together.Have I mentioned I get too detailed sometimes :-)> > > > > > > > >> > > > > > > > > I'm sorry, I just don't really feel it's ethical to blame a six year old child for thinking "too negatively."> > > > > > > > >> > > >> > >>
