Guest guest Posted January 23, 2002 Report Share Posted January 23, 2002 Group, I've been watching the disucssion about " disfigurement " go back and forth. I've been a member for a while and, frankly, I wish we would self-monitor our language. I've apreciated this group as a source of good advice, support, and meaningful information. I think that language like " disfigurement, " " victim, " and " affliction " aren't at all useful to the time we spend here. It brings everyone down, collectively, and turns our sessions into a pity party. I've already tried to do my part, telling the group about something that happened to me that was far more life-interrupting than anything that's ever happened to my skin. I supposed I don't need to point out that there's cancer, birth defects, and accidents in our midst, daily. These things create victims, and can be afflictions. Can we keep the mood as positive as possible to help the folks truely struggling with depression and avoid pulling down those of us who aren't?
