I have read these words 2 or 3 times, in the last 10 months.
OK let me put up a situation comedy. First, I was and am REALLY an episodic CH, and all I have said till today and till my "end" was, is and will be true....but let's imagine that I post today a text starting here:
***************************
- Dear Clusterheads, I spent 10 months here, I feel me always in a family, I try to help you and I get help from you but, I have to confess you I'm not a CH sufferer! I have some migraines, some herpes but the only cluster I have are my hemorroids. And I have had a big psychological stress when I lost the 30,000,000,000th piece of my puzzle. But I feel me fine here, you all are my true friends. I stay here to learn English too, but from the time that Elaine said me "hostel" instead of "Hospital", cutting the most of the letters in the word, I understand that I made the wrong choice....:-)
********************
Now what do with me? kick me from the board? send me anonym letters saying I'm an A$$hole?
the people I helped (few) the people I make laugh with intentionally or not jokes now tears? now hate me? I think and hope not!
This is what I mean, Todd: yes, migraine sufferers and other accidents sufferers here cannot find relief or help for their illness, but can found a family, some words of "psychological" help, like a neuro sofa. And they can help us, with a word or a joke, This is because we are one of the best boards of the net. Then don't be so close, surely we have not to, and we cannot help other illness sufferers, but.... if they stay well here, and obviously are not too much...who cares?!?
Obviously, I agree with you when you say this is a CH board, and with the most you have posted. Ciao Paisan
And this is what I mean Elaine: If someone has gone, it means that he found relief enough to live his/her life without us, or he/she don't found real help here. In all the cases, is a free choice that does not mean we have a responsibility in that. Then we can say, like parents of grown sons... he/she can walk alone, or with other people, and this is a good thing. I only hope that sometimes knock at my home to give me a hug. But you, me, Todd and all us have no responsibility for the leaving of these person
Ciao Capatosta
Ciao to all you, and PFNAD
