Hi Anita, since you replied I expect that you changed your mind.

I was excited to read your thread because you don’t usually post threads. You are a well respected member of this community and I was excited to learn more about you. I feel a kinship with you because we share some unique experiences.

I was not as gentle communicating with you as opposed to other members because I respected you. I did not realise that I would offend you. I have already apologized for this and I am happy to do so again.

You have made significant progress, granted but perhaps your anxiety can be reduced even more.

Even for myself, I would say that my anxiety is much lower than it used to be. But I still experience anxiety on a daily basis at a level where I would benefit from reducing it further.

I’d like to draw your attention to this. I don’t think that you are “sick”. I see you as an equal.

It is however important to acknowledge your anxiety since you have difficulty with daily living activities.

I am sorry that my frankness offended you and that you interpreted it as arrogance and dismissive instead of the intent I intended which was frank speech to a friend.

Oh and the reason I said that your bar for happiness seems low is because personally, I wish you all of the happiness in the world. Why stop at paperwork and doctors appointments? Surely there is even more happiness to experience.

For those who may wish to view the disagreement in question.
