Hello. I'm a former member of these message boards, although, I forgot what that former "user name" was. But, I "hung out" mostly in the Living Room and had some good communications, here.
I'm Bob. I have IBS. And, a depressive disorder. The latter led me to take a break from these message boards when I felt my depressive symptoms being exacerbated by "other life influences" than this site.
I glad to be back and hope you welcome me. As, I'm starting to go through some new directions in my life, one of which is developing healthier habits. Relaxation/stress management, smoking cessation, and the like. I am thankful that this resource for IBS is available. It (and its members) have helped me in the past and I look forward to being part of your community again.
Thank you for reading this "proper introduction"
Robert "Bob" Mogill, IBS patient.

I ducked out during the elections, last month. My depressive disorder was being excerbated by "outside influences" to this forum. When that happens, sometimes I get a nasty tongue and lack of judgement. I had to take a break (as I'm doing from most of my family), at this time to ensure appropriate behavior.
Yet, things are good, these days. -going to run a wellness group for my fellow psych. patients. That may be just what the doctor ordered.
Thank you for remembering me. And, I remember all of you rather fondly, although it has only been about a month.
Looking forward to being in touch, again.
Bob.

Just wanted to say hello, Bob!!! I wish I knew what your former name was. I'm trying to think if I remember you. How long ago was it you were on these boards? I have bipolar disorder, so I have struggled with depression also. Just wanted to say welcome.

Thanks for the posts...
As for the new moniker, it's a ancestral name (father's side) from the Dumas family of writers. -gunna adopt it (with my Hebrew name, which means born in April), probably within the next couple of years. My surname at the present time, given at birth, is too tied-in with "the mental health system" and health care workers with good intentions but bad judgement calls!
What I mean is that sometimes a person needs to reinvent themselves, not necessary redefine, themselves. -all numbers stay the same, like Social Security, IDs, etc. Only the letters that compose the name will change.
You all are actually the first group I'm using it with. My personal email address is rndumas at msn dot com. -feel free to drop in with a greeting from time-to-time.

Thank you. -read, reflected, replied, and applied to my own life some of your current issues/woes.
And, thank you for being a catalyst for that... It's good to be back in this supportive forum. It was missed. But, sometimes my illness forces withdrawals from social situations as not to become "publicly symptomatic." Such is an example of "damage control" as expressed in a recent post regarding people who are in denial of issues. Alcoholism, depression, and other maladies that effect others close to them.
Hey, we are all in this together. That is what makes you all have instrinsic value to my recovery. Hopefully, I return the favor, on occasion
That's not only the cake, but the icing, too.
Dumas.
