Whew!

Yes, I was trying to deal with my own internalized issue....calling myself "crazy" and what affect that has on me both in therapy and in real life.

The truth is, I have used the concept to scare myself, limit myself, and segregate myself from people that I see as overly conventional or "normal" who also scare me with their insistence on certain patterns of life and behavior.

But, back to the main issue that this thread has morphed into:

Whether you embrace the C word by calling yourself that, or reject the idea and think the concept is intellectually bankrupt (as I do, ultimately) or walk another path entirely, I SO VALUE your thoughts, your responses, your travails. And did not want to hurt any of you. I have so benefited from being part of this online imaginative "world" that's centered on being in therapy. And I've gotten so much support! And we haven't even met in R/L. (Or so we believe...you just never really know what is real life and what isn't....which is a vast part of my central issue to begin with! )



Blessings,
