Well, Squiggle, I definitely think I'm hooked on PC, but I don't think I risk being infected with other PC people's worries. I've never felt that way. I wonder why you do. PC is the best place I've found in the world to interact with other people. That's why I'm addicted. I don't think I've ever really felt, whether in PC or IRL, that other people's head problems were catching. We all have our own and have to deal with them. We all have different personalities and ways to handle things. The fact that you or someone else may have a certain difficulty in therapy does not (for me) translate into a risk for myself. I'm trying to think myself into your world and understand from inside what it feels like to be threatened in that way. And I'm afraid I just can't relate. My problems are mine and yours are yours, and, as they say, never the twain shall meet! And even if they did, I think I'd rather meet my own problems head on without trying beforehand to prepare for them by taking notes on other's problems. Whatever happens, happens. I have a lot of faith in my T and quite a bit in myself and I just feel comfortable that we'll work things out. And, no doubt, there are a whole lot of things that do need to be worked out. But that just doesn't scare me. Maybe it should, but it doesn't. Take care!
