I agree with you that writing is a powerful tool.

This is what I try to do, but sometimes a subject comes up in conversation. I haven't complained to anyone since I started this thread though, and I've tried to keep away from the subject of my obsession thing. Nobody is interested in them anyway so there's no point in talking about them. If someone else mentions them though, well in future I will try not to say much (if anything) about them).
I think I was trying to get attention from people with it, thinking that they could help me in some way but I don't know how that would be possible. Maybe it was just the go all along, whinging and trying to get attention. That does sound more likely.
