Hi All,
I agree with Bob, sometimes you may get challenged, but please don't let that drive you
away. Everyone's input is so valuable.
I personally don't understand either why anyone
would be attacked for not having CH. To me it seems so much better to find someone who doesn't suffer CH and be able to ease their mind a bit, and give them some helpful insight as to where they can get the right type of support. I really liked what Miguel said earlier about wanting people to understand our suffering, yet we tend to
ignore the sufferings of others. Thus being guilty
of the very thing that sets us off. I think we'd do well to understand others may be searching and realize if it's not CH, what better happy news it would be to share that with them in a respectful way. They are suffering from something, thank God if it's not CH!
Also, I think it only fair to realize too the mood swings of CH'ers. We've all posted in high spirits one day, then the next in anger or depression. There needs to be room for venting in here as well as comfort. So, we can all find a way to understand each other. And forgive.
Very sorry for the reasons you all have had to come here. But, you will find more friends and support than doubters. So please stick around, we can use your help as much as you ours!
Dave
