You are a mind reader!! I was going to start a thread on exactly the same topic!
I found it sometime in 2001 myself, when googling one of my meds. I was having trouble with them.
I stayed because of the people. Slinky and Mair and Pax and Willow and Mouse and Bobby. Krazy Kat, who if I remember correctly, shared my liking of hiding in the closet. Noa, who I thought was the very epitome of wisdom. Then those old Yahoo chats. I got to know a handful of people in such depth. The very best friend I have in the world, I made in those chats.
I don't think I've ever laughed so hard as the mango thread, although that came later I think.
I rather suspect though that I would have eventually moved on despite the wonderful people, if it weren't for the therapy talk. I think first it was Mair and Cynthia? I could be remembering that wrong. But they were talking about their difficulties in negotiating the therapeutic relationship. I was hooked for good.
