This site has allowed me to discuss this issue and note down todays feelings on the matter so that I can see if they're the same tomorrow while also obtaining input from others - I'd be just plain angry by now if I didn't have somewhere to think things through in a written way - pen and paper is *so* intensely boring - Anyhu, like the dog says (I used my gift credit already, sorry, I would have used that instead).

At 9:05pm on September 4, 2009, Daniel said…: I was just coming onto your page to pay my thanks for all that I feel this site has provided me with - where people in my life were negative and skeptical about my getting out of their preconceived and prejudicial thoughts that I was destined for no hope and an indefinate period of brain injury, such people are now silent or absent with embarrassment as it seems they were very, very, completely, wrong.

This community contains people who are the opposite of my past critics in my area : instead of criticizm and ill conceived disappointment, I've instead been blessed by meeting a fine collection of people who see only progress - how to achieve it themselves, and curious about how I am progressing aswell - a haven from the negative skeptics in the 'real world' (ie not online).

My page has become my addiction, like progress made in recovery, hearing the dismissive and pessimistic rabbitings of over paid know littles (neurologists re : encephalitis), and instead learning how to overcome it, and progress revolves, in my experience, around building something and working at something slowly until you one day realize you're actually happy with what you've created.

I changed the appearance of my page today and, as I did, I stuck around for an hour or so just listening to the music I got on my page, because *every* single song I have there is one I love, with a plethora of others which could make the list go on indefinately.

I've rediscovered my former music addiction and built it around recovery and the construction of a page I'm now happy with : it has grown with the redevelopment of my health, and without that collection of creative potential, for which this site has in vast abundance, my recovery would have meant little to me long ago, instead of what I get up thinking about in the morning, what I go to bed knowing I'll dream about at night, add, add, add, and don't stop - period.

That last point is the ultimate one this site has taught me - develop a beginning and never, ever, stop.

Your creation is making an humungous difference in my recovery and I thank you infinately.
