Richard wants to express opinions on experiences he has not experienced. Which is why all psychiatrists have mental illness or how would they know about it if not experienced it. All oncologists have experienced cancer, which is why they know about it. Midwives can't understand pregnancy if they've...

Richard wants to express opinions on experiences he has not experienced. He believes all fear is equal. He believes in a sink or swim mentality. All or nothing. Kind and unkind. There is no inbetween. There is no grades of progress, or exposure. Drive the car for the first time on your own, or fail...

What do you mean by health of the rest of world? I mean that the rest of the world doesn't need to "accommodate" every irrational manufactured tiger. It isn't kind to others, it isn't kind to the community, and it isn't kind to the person seeking the accommodation. It is similar to a chil...

Before public forums? I don't know. I don't think any of us with this disorder this extreme would have done very well in a war. Perhaps they would have been cast out or left for dead. Or maybe some Shaman would have taken them in. Sure telling someone to get on with life might have been kindness bac...

Why do I have to provide examples anyways of your posting habits? Can't you just affirm or deny my claim? You know how you post. My thoughts are that it's my "PawsSurvivor" handle that really drew you to my posts in particular. It is interesting to see how you think my mind must work, e.g...

Theres many people on the addictions forum in a worse state than me. Just go look at page 1. There's people posting 13 months 11 months along...7 months along...etc. I went and looked and didn't see a similar response from you. You might argue that it's because I post 28 months, which is a higher nu...

The apology was for both you and me. Because I don’t want to be an angry person right now. Though I’m glad it wasn’t needed. I’d argue you are being persuasive, because you don’t acknowledge the many questions and underlined pointed I bring out. You ignore them and move on to your own positions. I f...

I apologize a bit for my tone, I realize you are trying to continue to have a rational conversation, and i got a bit amped up at times in my last post. However, I do appreciate this conversation. I am still on the sensitive side regarding this whole experience, even if I'm improving. My highest valu...

Always good to hear from you Graham I'll say it again. This is why Uncommmon is not a recovery forum. I learned that awhile ago. Yes you can say what you want Richard. But look at who's around you. This an open forum that has a majority population of people in recovery. You are in the minority if y...

I'll bring this up again, earlier in the conversation you sent me a link about Psychosomatic disorder. Do you know the anxious brain needs to be unwired from fear? The mind works with associations. I had a choice, click on that link and read through symptoms that might put me into a tailspin, or no...

Richard, First I want to say it is an unfair comparison you drew. I vaped several bowls of HIGH THC without a tolerance. Who knows how that compares to someone who smokes a joint every day? It's the dose that makes the poison. Even too much water in one sitting will have dire consequences. Broketheh...

Richard you sent me a link about Psychosomatic Disorder. It's only being brought up because of the link you sent. Well, I couldn’t find…or even think to search for a “banana head” link. And even if I was able to find a banana head link, I don’t think it compassionate to treat you as a patient, inca...

I get to choose the story I tell myself about my sensations. No way I'm going to walk around calling myself Psychosomatic. Not helpful. I have night disturbances as well still where I see occasional flashes of light, unbelievably the condition is called Exploding Head Syndrome. It's benign. But, pl...

I did derive some reassurance, not enough, but some. Why didn't it work for me? Perhaps because the experience was too visceral at the time. I have said in the past Richard, that I have come around to the fact that this is residual anxiety from an initial withdrawl. I'm not debating that. Reading th...
