This is to clarify the thread I had up yesterday: "Are you addicted to PC". After reading a couple of posts from other members, I got my feelings hurt. I asked that the thread be removed.

Things have been hard for me lately. I took those comments as a personal attack. In hindsite, I realize that I probably over reacted. Being overly sensitive is something I am working on in therapy.

This was actually a good thing that this happened. Because those members who made the comments have contacted me to clarify what they meant, I am okay now. This was a lesson for me.

I see now that I should have talked it out with them, and not jumped straight into the "I am being rejected" conversation that I so often play out in my mind. I tend go into the negative self talk: "I am unworthy", "I am unlovable", "Nobody likes me".

This was an assignment I was to work on in therapy. I didn't realize it would play out in PC, but it did. I feel so much better that a number of you took the time to PM me to ask if I was okay.

I don't want to bring names into this, but the ones that I was upset with, took the time to contact me and clarify their comments. This makes me feel that maybe I am not that bad of a person afterall.

Yes, I am addicted (hooked) on PC. I enjoy my time here with all of you. My question in the thread was actually something like, "Do you tend to take on the issues that others are having in therapy, and worry that they may happen to you at some point in your therapy journey?"

I tend to do that. My therapy is going okay right now. But when I read about things that many of you are struggling with in your therapy, I start the negative self talk:"Is that going to happen to me?", "Is my therapist going to stop allowing me to send emails?", "Will I go through the therapist/client rupture?", etc...
