Hmmm ... So you are very guarded with them in a way, Tom. You use your size and your anger to keep you protected ... Yes?

they are, the cops stare at me and like challenge me to lose it, one cop went so far as making a threat to me I just laughed at him, I never discuss with tdoc was is said here, I view this place as honored ground and what is said here stays here and I expect the same from others, I don't hold back feelings here what you see is what you get. I love the great advise and the love and feelings I get her. This is safe ground.

Niecy, it's interesting to me that you said you are very shy. My impression from you in talking to you here is that you are a very sociable person. That you like connecting with others ... So, do you feel that duality in yourself a lot? The shyness/outgoingness?

I'm glad you feel safe here, Tom. I hope what I've explained I've said in therapy is not in any way a betrayal of your trust. I only speak about what it going on with me in therapy. I don't bring stuff you've told me -- for example -- as a way of conveying my issues. The two are totally separate.

I have no fear of that If Ifelt people here were abusing what I said I would have clammed up along time ago and would have found another site. The people here care and give the best advise they can with the side of the stroy they have received. Barb I consider you a strong friend someone I can lean on when the shit hits the fan and I am so thankful I got to meet you

I'm sorry you've had such horrible interactions with docs. at the VA. That shouldn't be permitted to go on, Tom.

A vet in trouble scares teh VA they do not know what to do to help, they try but some of us have needs beyond what they can provide, i go get meds see docs and walk away from them, I remember not to talk to shrinks even when so angry about to blow. I would rather blow, when I get that angry will hurt myself before I hurt someone else. The Va does not realize that.

That makes me very happy, Tom. I am honored that you shared your "true name" with me. I like to be supportive of others where and when I can. It makes me feel good about myself.

Talking with you and others has helped my self-confidence both here and in the world "out there" ... I am able to be more trusting. So, perhaps without even knowing it, you have helped me as well! Smile
