This might sound ridiculous. I was reading over the earlier posts in 1998 and 1999. Dr. Bob would constantly respond to the posts, and draw happy faces on them. And, sign off with "Good Luck" and such. I WANT THAT ON MY POSTS ALSO.
All I can think about day in and day out is Dr. Bob and Psycho-Babble. I wish Toby (from 1998, 1999 posts) is still here. I want to talk to Dr. Bob on the Internet. I literally was having anxiety and screaming attacks as I read his responses in the earlier posts. I want him to talk to me TOO. I think he is very funny and witty. I want him to write to me and draw happy faces.
I wish I discovered PB in 1998 or 1999. That way I get to correspond with Dr. Bob. Ahhhhhhhh! (That is to let off stress)
This is bad. Why can't I have feelings for someone in the real world, in real time. That is what I am working on in my therapy. Help! I thought this service would get me to reach out. But, I fell back into this internal world AGAIN. I have been here so many times before. First come the fantasies, then the depression and the reality check, then the suicide idealizations. I guess as long as I do not do anything bad to society, I'll be o.k.
Well, if I am going to do well on my Biochemistry midterm next week, better start studying...fatty acids and beta oxidation.
I know Shar, Greg, and Racer...I am going into my internal world again AND again. When will I learn. Why am I always so immature and you guys are so knowledgeable and Mature. The difference in time and age, I guess. Ok, I am logging off. Just had to get that off my chest. Whew!

Rzip:
Knowledge comes from research, years of therapy, and reading way too many self-help books... And, I still don't consider myself knowledgeable in this arena, there is so much I don't know (or else I would feel a lot better). There are scads and scads of things in life I don't know, some I don't want to know, and some I would like to know. I think the same holds true for everyone.As for maturity...I appreciate the compliment, but I can be just as "immature" as the next guy. That's just part of life. Right now I'm having a stony silence with my sister who lives across the street, just like when we were 5 years old!
You see here the part of me that tends to be practical, etc. and I don't respond to posts unless I know an answer (if it's a med question) so I could look knowledgeable at times, but I actually know I'm a novice in this field.
I hope someday to see you write about something you know, without apology, being who you fully are with knowledge of your own value as a unique human being.
Good luck on your test!! Sounds hard to me.

Rzip,
I am getting better at this, but it used to be so hard for me to not hate myself for wanting something I couldn't have. Wanting is ok. And being angry at the reality of not being able to have is ok. But stop at the next step, which is intolerance of those feelings---hating yourself for the feelings.
If the feeling of frustration about not having what you want so badly is overwhelming, try to talk kindly to yourself about being human, and try to distract yourself.
What is it that communication with Dr. Bob would provide for you? Is it something you can try to glean from other resources and to try to eventually be able to provide for yourself?
This is the end of the thread.
