for this wonderful place, such a very helpful place.

Sometimes I think I have given out too much information via my posts but if it was helpful in any way (perhaps you aren't even referring to my posts


)--then that is a good thing. Sometimes other people's behaviors disturb me and cause pain but it is also wrong to gossip about them and, besides that, my behaviors could by one reason for their troubles! Relationships are complicated. Though I have learned to not be afraid to call them out face to face and now realize that some of the behaviors of others are not my fault.

But again, I am trying to be more careful about talking about others than I was when I first came to PC. Sometimes I fail at this but I am doing better than before about giving out TMI.


I think most people make mistakes. IMO our behaviors cause the worst problems when we are not able to see how our mistakes effect others and try to change. I pray that I am getting better at seeing my faults and not hurting others.
So anyways, I admire that you are always so positive Breaking Dawn and while it is good to get off our chest some of things others have done--especially when they try to "rewrite" history in ways that seem dishonest, in the past, I have found it tricky to navigate balancing putting my feelings out there without putting others information out there. Like you

I am also grateful that Doc John created this community. The posts and feedback at PC helped me better understand why I had a mental health crisis. I feel like I can relate to people here because many of them also had a mental health crisis. And many of us are still dealing with the fallout.


This is WAY too long and I still talk too much but at least, on here, people can just skim if it strikes them as nonsense.
