Guest guest Posted January 24, 2004 Report Share Posted January 24, 2004 Hi TJ, I feel very badly for you! I would strongly suggest you try to find a counselor for all of you. If you can't afford one, there are places that I'm sure would see you for free. Have you ever tried counseling??

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2004 Report Share Posted January 24, 2004 Yes - many times and it does not help...... they are full of suggestions but they never work. Re: Does Anyone else?

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2004 Report Share Posted January 25, 2004 Barb, I hope it wasn't something I said! I certainly didn't mean to hurt her feelings, or act like I'm an authority, because I'm FAR from that! I was only trying to respond to her need and email. If you talk to her, please give her my apology! Love Lana " 'Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.'

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2004 Report Share Posted January 25, 2004 > Oh my. > Did she give a reason? Yes, but it was a personal response and one I am not at liberty to share. I have let her know that people on the list care and are concerned. It is her choice to leave and she does not want me to forward any email from the list to her. I hope that she understands that we care, but I respect her wishes. -Barb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2004 Report Share Posted January 25, 2004 ok, I understand. If you hear from her, just tell her we are worried about her. Nobody meant to upset her. We really are concerned, but I can understand how she may be feeling. I hope I didn't say anything too upsetting. I can't get her off my mind. I hope she's ok.

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2004 Report Share Posted January 29, 2004 > No offense taken at all, TJ! I know LOTS of people who have sought counselors, and it didn't work! -------------------- Add me to your list, but mine had a bit of a " twist " to it. I went through a very serious bout of depression in my early 20's that involved quite a few things (like trips to the ER for stomach pumps, psychological and psychiatric counseling, 30 day voluntary commitment to the state mental hospital - things like that). At any rate, one piece of it all included seeing the college psychologist (counselor) for about six weeks. Doctor/patient rapport/communication was just about non-existent. I won't bother going into all of the messy details, but it left me with a permanent distrust of the profession that I can't get over. The " twist " is that about a year and a half later, I had a first (and as it turned out, only) date with someone. Things were progessing beautifully during the entire evening. When we got back to her house, we were sitting in my car in front of the house talking. She knew that I had gone to " that " school earlier and just asked me if I happened to know the above mentioned counselor. " Well " , says I, " as a matter of fact, I do. In my opinion, he should have his licensed jerked and be tried for criminal incompetence. " The next words out of her mouth (in an extremely icy tone as she left the car) were " Thanks a lot - he happens to be my uncle! " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
