I would like to say first off, that people that "do spam" are obviously sick, miserable individuals. There is absolutely no point to doing such a dispicable thing, the only thing gained  from it is the obvious treachery which apparently some people thrive on. That is so sad & I feel so sorry for you that do this.
Ok, on to something more positive...I think that Writing Room is an excellent concept & I appreciate it so much! Kudos to the person that came up w/ this idea!
My posts are mostly a therapeutic outlet, that I hope reaches others who might be struggling w/ their illness. I studied psychology, for many years actually, I wanted to know everything there was to know, lol
and here is what I have learned...that unfortunately, no matter how much we understand about our illness, emotions, chemical imbalances, misfiring neurotransmitters & such things that are beyond our control sometimes override our good sense, even our knowledge & wisdom. When this happens, I believe it is imperative to have a support person.  Someone to kind of ground us, ya know? For about 2 months now, I've not had that because my living circumstances have recently become such that I have no one but me here. and God, of course (sorry if I offend anyone, I have my beliefs & you are certainly entitled to blog about yours, This is just awesome for me due to the situation I have found myself in. I realize this is on the internet for the whole world to see & I am posting some very personal things. I have always been a very open person. I am just thankful for the opportunity to possibly reach someone  who might  be struggling & just needs a little encouragement or whatever. Thanks so much for your time & interest in what I have to say. It truly means a lot.
