welcome to the forum journeyman
an online friend is better than noone at all journeyman i agree with you there especially the anonymity, makes it less personal and gives you the chance to talk openly it was only after speaking on this site for a while that i managed to get the courage to speak to the doctor about my problems, and she like you said is on a need to know basis the rest will come in time.
i hope you post more, there will always be someone here to talk to who understands what you are going threw.
