if this situation was me I would let the t know there is a picture on the internet and in psychology today of him and ask if I could copy it. Sure he may not know you have copied it and have it but does that make it right, like here does it make it ok to copy things here as long as we don't ask anyone and don't tell the person we really wanted their material and photos?

When I first got here people accused me of being someone I wasn't and kept warning me about the rule not to copy anything. So I know this kind of thing has been dealt with here before and people here don't look lightly on anyones copyright infringement and privacy of photos and material. so I was surprised to read the posts saying copying his photo without permission was ok. personally I think the T deserves the same respect we give our psych central friends.

Call him and let him know you found a picture of him and since its on the internet you would like to have it. whats the worst he can say No and you throw it away. you have gone all this time without a picture of him and have survived so I believe you will continue to survive without a picture of him, you have your memories of your time together and you probably will never forget him and your time together.

I missed this one yesterday and sure do feel like crap now after reading this. I'm getting rid of the picture. The last thing I'd ever want to do is disrespect him in any way, shape or form. I just don't want to ever forget his face. I'm not trying to disregard any rules. I guess I screwed up. I wish that I didn't have to feel so badly about myself for still wanting to see him.
