Don't let other people define you. Not every community can treat members with respect and understand their thinking. Some forums just suck. I've been run off of or opted out of many; it isn't strange or typical of your character.

Remember the NAMI Connections guidelines; https://namimcconnections.wordpress....es-guidelines/

We can't solve all of our problems, but we embrace sharing and remain hopeful. The hopeful bit is pretty hard to follow sometimes, I'm struggling with it right now, but remember the vast reality beyond what is happening.
