Your not getting it Linda I have been advised medically that one of my biggest problems is that I ve always let people dictate to me and control my life and my way to recovery is not to let this happen any more. I have medically been advised to confront people and stop giving into dictatorship.I am perfectly happy with my own perception of things, but have let people dictate to me all my life about feelings and thoughts. No more. I have a very respectable therapist, this has nothing to do with the Mercury poisoning or withdrawal, but a way of becoming stronger. I have worked with disturbed people for most of my life and this moron is definately disturbed. Yes I'm venting, we all need that to survive, otherwise you become a doormat to these dictators. No I will follow my professionals advice and no more will I be told what to think or say. And you Anon have no idea what your talking about. You should have worked in some of the places I have. You cant spend your whole life thinking oh lets all be calm and reasonable, this world isnt like that. Im sure we all wish it was, thats what I once believed or wanted to. The realistic view is it just dont work. Not if you want to survive. I still, although ill care for the most deeply depressed people and believe me its not what they chose they just got dealt lifes reality. It has nothing about attack as far as Im, concerned, but if someone disagrees with me let them post me privately and we'll sort it out. Some don't want to do that, they want to go on and on. Come on a poll? It is not healthy to keep feelings whatever they are bottled up inside, that in itself can cause depression. I was a counsellor, I'm not declaring I have all the answers but just sitting there mildly and keeping emotions in, they will stay there for a long tiome. Tracy
