The Nice Man with the Kind Smile
So that was a relatively positive experience today with the nice man with the kind smile. He said my "case" was not something he has ever really dealt with. I guess I'm not your average case over there at CAMH. Over the course of 2.5 hours I tried to accurately describe what I had been up to, why I had been up to it, how it had been effecting my

i found posting things to a limited group of people, hand selected by you as suporters works best. it will reinforce those first trembling steps much better. and ive even found that just makeing the post PVT and getting shit off your chest is best.
dont be afraid to disalow comments, dont be afraid of deleteing comments either. though personaly i like locking out posts to PVT after people have shot off and denying people the advantage of editing what they have said. you end up with this wonderful colection of moments in time that you can easily go back to and quote. *wry grin* it also gives you a better track of where you are and where youve been.
and personaly, i think liveing out loud in F2F is better. it makes people have to deal with the situation directly.
