I'm busier than a one armed paper hanger in a wire coat factory. And that's probably the worst metaphor I've ever written and makes absolutely no sense.
Try writing a book or two. Or spend hours doing research. Come and vacuum all the hairballs up off my carpet. That would keep you busy for a week.
Dear Tea & Sympathy,

Wow. I am very surprised to see this. I don't recall criticising. What I recall, and what you will see if you read your thread is that several people who thought this was a good idea, believed it would be easier for some to replace one coping tool with another. I'm afraid that is not criticism, it is simple common-sense. I suggested what I did because I thought I was helping those who wanted to take part but felt they couldn't.

And that is where my justification stops. I don't respond to ignorance regarding my condition. If you want to know more about obsessive thinking, do some research on the obsessive component of OCD, and the trauma-related rumination component of Complex PTSD.

As a full-time psychology student, mental health worker, musician, mother, partner, friend - I think you'll find I am quite busy. And speaking of research - my dissertation is almost finished.

Clearly you felt I was judging you, but like I said, that could be rectified by reading your own thread, should you wish to realise your (apparent) attack is misguided.
