Elizabeth:
I'd like to add my two cents here. I can certainly understand an aversion to therapy - I personally haven't chosen it. But did you stop to think that the person who jumped in, Jay, may have just joined the board, as I believe was the case, and not known it had been brought up before?
One comment in particular WAS offensive:
"P.S. I have family and friends who offer me all the "psychosocial support" I need. I would hope that most others don't need to pay somebody for it, either."
I didn't expect that from someone who has so much knowledge about medicine. It shows a lack of maturity to me, that, again, I didn't expect. And then for you to continue to harp on this over here...
I believe Wendy's comment regards the fact that this board has naturally evolved into more of a support network, at least over the six months I've been here, and Jah's comments were just instigating with no where to go.
You should know lots of folks can't afford therapy, or at least "good" therapy, and lots can't take that step when they need to.
Shame on you for "bragging" that you "have family and friends who offer me all the "psychosocial support" I need" when so many don't. It's just thoughtless.

P.S. I really wish no one but Dr. Bob would use his terms such as "Please Be Civil". I see it and think he has stepped in when he hasn't. It also implies a sort of hierarchy that you think you have.
