Thank you, Kathy. That's my gut feeling. There's all the talk about breaking the stigma of mental illness...hmm...how about breaking all sorts of stigmas...
Webgoji, thank you.
slamjammer...uh...neither. My appearance is an expression of my creativity. I am not trying to get attention (I have enough personality & self-confidence, I don't need to use my appearance to "get attention"). Nor am I "hiding" myself. Please understand: I express myself in a creative, colorful way. Generally speaking, here in California creative self-expression is not only well understood; it is respected and admired. And valued - especially in my job.
I wouldn't message the facilitator in order to confront him. I would message him non-defensively, just to bring what I suspect is the issue out into the light to be discussed and resolved.
