Laura,

Exactly what part of:

"So you said in your earlier post - do you have any specific questions you'd like someone to try to answer for you? Anything in particular you'd like to discuss? You're going to have to give us a bit more if you want us to give you what you are seeking, unless of course all you're looking for is someone to say, "Yeah, I know. Good luck, we're praying for you." And if so, then there ya go. I'm sure a few other women will add their happy thoughts and good wishes for you as well and I hope it helps you find some calm."

did you find to be arrogant, condescending and attack-like? I offered assistance and answers to any questions she may have, invited her to open a topic of discussion, offered my hopes that she finds calm in whatever niceties I, you and anyone else offers.

You say you are new here so please, help us 'old-timers' help you by jumping right in with specific questions, concerns and statements. What's bothering you? What's on your mind? What have you learned? How do you cope with pain, everyday life? How do you talk to your friends and family? Do they understand? How did you get them to understand or are you just lucky? What sorts of meds have you been on, how did you do with them?

Let's skip the mindless small talk, this isn't an AA meeting y'know. This is real life, this is hard stuff to deal with so lets get right to it. I mean really, when you're curled up in your own ball of misery do you really care at all what's happening with some woman you've never met who lives miles away from you? Do you even care what's happening in the next room? Don't try kidding me, we've all been there.
