Can someone help me? I'm trying to open my mind to new ideas about Refugees

Awesome!!! You know I have a quote from you in my sig now, right Judi?

Also see the Bertrand Russell one

I only recently become staff again... I was last a mod years ago

I only returned myself in October you know... after several YEARS break due to illness and what not

I trust that you are feeling better? Tbh, I really missed many of the people here and decided to back off of Facebook and find my place again here.

Wait, doesn't this make two ragequits in one day?

Yeah I try to minimize my Facebook use.

Yes after 7 years of many different medications and 3 major breakdowns and trips to the mental health ward, I am finally fully recovered and off meds.

I just have to be careful when it comes to getting into work or anything else stressful, because, basically, I have acute-stress-sensitivity/stress-proneness. Stress induced breakdowns.

However will we manage? I don't think the forum can handle such excitement in one day. 

On a more serious note, this was a good debate going and it would actually be nice to get back to the topic on hand. It's a shame how many threads get derailed because of comments that get misinterpreted. Tone and inflection are impossible to see in a post. Sarcasm often gets lost without the use of emoticons. Angry posts often have lots of caps in them or have red writing. 

Personally, having to take a step back to gather my own thoughts before posting has been a challenge for me in the past. I'd like to think that the OP can do the same and can come back and re-join the discussion in a health way.

Judi Lynn in one word: Compassionate.

[Joods]

Thank you but you give me way more credit than I deserve.

[Edwardo Piet]

I think you're too hard on yourself... and I am too... and sometimes it really does take one to know one

[Joods]

I admit that. I'm very hard on myself only because I feel it's necessary. I tend to mentally beat myself up a lot in private.

[Edwardo Piet]

Fuck, I know what that's like.

I do it so much less than I used to... and I am so much more healthy... it's all part of my recovery - one of the biggest parts

Trust me it's not worth it there are better avenues to self improvement love
