As the resident lurker/delurker here LOL
Well as the resident lurker/delurker in the community for 10 years I must say this is one of the first times Ive seen someone who berated and insulted fellow TMFers come back and apologize and take responsibilty for their own actions, and that in itself is commendable. We all have suffered for years and years with those that choose, thats right choose, to come in here and start problems and many never had the concience or decency to admit their wrong doings and be a human being about it. This gentleman (I think I can call him that) did. I knew of the problems with him and all the names but as usual I stay out, I just keep myself enough in the loop but I dont wrap the noose around the ol neck. All that being said and I certainly do not want to start anything I will say 2 things. 1.) I also suffer from depression and anxiety brought on by my condition...I have recently been diagnosed with neuropathy in both of my arms, and there is no pain medication that can help because its the nerves in my arms are starting to die and in some areas are already dead. Depression is a SERIOUS problem one that I wish more people were aware of. You have feelings of fear, paranoia, disgust, hate, fear and many other feelings that can bring on real physical symptoms of illness. So I can relate to what you must have been going through. And I agree its not an excuse, just what was going on in your life. And we all appreciate your honesty and forthcommingness (is that a word??).
2.) Although most will forgive you for past actions it is in no way I hope a free pass from what you did do. Im sure no one will attack or in any way be rude to you but just understand if anyone might feel apprehensive about conversating with you one on one. Im sure in time it will pass, but as long as you continue making progress and getting well we will all support you as best we can. We are a community that cares about each other because we all need a little support now and then, even from just someone on the other side of the computer that we might never meet.
Good luck to you, and if you need to talk, my box is always open.
Thats just my dollar and 2 cents worth.
