I sincerely apologize.
I am new here, I was just speaking in general of previous online group experiences. I completely understand what you are saying and did not think of that. I really do apologize. I didn't mean it the way I think it came off. I was just thinking out loud about the buddylist feature. I did say that I enjoy meeting people online. I just never use the buddylist features.

Welcome to the epilepsy forum Christy! It's actually kind of fun reading on the blogs because you become one with the person(s) that is going through something. The latest that I've been doing on mine has been about surgery or I've been trying to keep up with it anyway. It's been difficult to do it at times lately as I have had other matters that needed my attention lately.
As someone who writes blogs and articles, it can be very easy to get carried away with thoughts. I have found in writing the blog here is doing two things. One, helping me go through a recovery because I am talking out important issues as they are happening so I understand them. Two, it actually is giving information to other persons who might be interested in doing something like this in the near future. The way I look at it, if I can offer a little bit of insight from my own personal approach on things then I'm happy and if I get responses back from others within my blog that's even better!

christy, i had about 3 weeks of heavy t/cs more than usual. i am uncontrolable. but think it was do to my broncitis. i was feeling extremely depressed when i wrote this forum. i have some great freinds i have met on this website, it may seem silly to you but some of us, probably alot, are stuck at home, because of our seizures, and we talk in chat and get silly and talk serious what ever the needs at the times is, it changes tthroughout the evening. i am glad you are lucky and dont need us, but we do nedd each other and help each other. one night they even got an ambulance to someone we all love who was at chat and had a seizure while on line. so yes freinds are great. banffgirl
