I feel safe here as well, I tend to agree with eskielover, and wikidpissah (and others too...) I use the forum for peer support and to see what other coping skills people have learned to deal with similar issues like mine. I do realize it is the net, so although I lurk a lot, I try to keep a clear picture of the advice given and use what applies to me.
Hope this helps.
A thought crossed my mind, may be off base but
"Who counsels the counselor? "
They are human and need support too, although I do understand the level of agitation one announcing themselves would produce.
