Re: Re: Merry Christmas(THERAPY ?)STOP THE PERSONAL ATTACKS

[Guest guest]

I agree and thanks. I do not post all that often but for me it helps reading

what everyone else is going through, no matter what it is, it is always real and

important for them. RA Support is just what it says.........supportive.

Hope everyone enjoyed their holidays as much as possible. This can be a

stressful time of year as we are programmed into trying to make everything as

perfect as possible. I have finally learned that you just do what you can and

you cannot please everyone..................

Happy New Year and painfree days to all

Thanks for taking care of it . I think everyone should be able

to feel safe to vent here. Not one persons problems are bigger or

smaller than anothers and I am greatful we have this board to vent

and post what we want.

No one should feel unwelcome or belittled for feeling as they do and

then to have someone make them feel like crap for doing so.
