TheSadGirl, I am with you on this one. It's nice to feel not alone.

Alice, those are all great ideas and most have applied to me at one time or another. I finally resigned myself to having a big problem with my brain/mind without any escape. I also wish there were more people. On the other hand if there were millions then the forum would be unusable unless it was broken up into lots of subforums.

BirdDancer, I didn't know you were a group leader. That could be a chore or be rewarding depending on the circumstances. I hadn't thought about facebook but am so glad I hardly use it. At least I haven't embarrassed myself while psychotic on facebook. I feel i can be much more honest on an anonymous forum to discuss private, sometimes embarrassing and personal issues.
