therapyworked4me, thank you, I appreciate it.

I had felt sad reading your post, especially parts about not getting thanked and then removing your post or "I am quite aware that my type of therapy and my opinions are not very popular," or " I am used to having my threads removed...." Made me sad cause it made me feel like you don't get much support even in a support forum when you're trying to help and when you have best of intentions.

It's unfortunate that a group that is more likely to understand one's pain is also the same group that is likely to feel most offended by innocent and well-intentioned comments, and read something into them that was never intended. I guess sometimes a hand extended as sign of care and support can look threatening to one whose wounds are fresh and finds the hand too close for comfort. So the hand gets slapped away!

p.s. btw, you're too kind and I wish I had a gift for writing, but luckily I do have a different sort of gift, one for misspellings and bad grammar.
