Take care of yourself, really. |

Yep, my sister and I used to do the same thing.
Would post more, but my eyes are hurting so much that I can no longer read!
So, good night. |

| Thanks, CockneyRebel. Before I signed up I spent a few weeks just hanging around this site, and your general niceness was a huge motivation for me joining. |

| Alicorn, I think that's really a very important observation. I think that when people talk about others "lacking empathy" they should at least be able to define their terms and explain what they mean. There is no real consensus on the issue, and to me that suggests that the definition is still up fo... |

| Am glad to hear that you are concerned about both duelling and grammar. These things are important. (Imagine whatever kind of face comes to mind.) |

Apologies for the capitilisation! (Would put a smiley face there but unfortunatley have some kind of horror for such things.)
Am glad to hear you have been duelling - I have long held that it's illegality in the UK is irrational. (Again - imagine smiley face.) |

| It's true that trusting people can, and often does, entail being let down. But I agree with Shadexiii (may have spelled that wrongly); it is, in the end, a matter of faith - that's kind of what "trust" means. I would much rather be naive and vulnerable than bitter and suspicious. As it happens, I am... |

| Two quick points: 1. If she suddenly dumped a friend (her husband's sister), and just as suddenly took up another, only in order to dump her too, then it sounds like she's the one with the "problem", not you. 2. It is never, I believe, idiotic to let people into your life. Even if you trust them and... |

| Well, yes, but that depends upon the kind of doctor you see. I have spent many years battling depression, and was on loads of medication for about ten years - to me, it will always be the 'lost decade'. It took a long time to find someone who was prepared to acknowledge that there were other things ... |

| I love to be touched and hugged, but only by the right person at the right time. If anyone else does it, I just become rigid and awkward. |

| Hi. I don't know what you should do, but just to let you know, I know exactly what it's like to be in that situation. If you really are depressed, then you should get help. I have been quite seriously depressed a few times, and have ended up in hospital because of it. The thing about is, is that it ... |

| Hello. I don't know if you're in the UK or the US, but either way I don't think that your kids can be taken away simply because of an AS diagnosis - I think that for that to happen there has to be demonstrable abuse and/or neglect, and there's nothing in AS in itself that exemplifies that. My father... |
