Hi Robin,
So in order for me to understand if I have it all correct, it seems that you are disgusted with me because I won't do what you want me to do. You believe that I am narcissistic but you are not diagnosing me with Narcisstic Personality Disorder and you are apologizing if it seemed to me that you had meant that in your post (and also on your blog apparently). You believe that I know little about bipolar disorder. You also believe that I am trying to control you and manipulate you. And you believe that when I sent an apology that I was being manipulative. You also believe that I do not know myself well,that I should not worry about you. You do believe that you know me well. You believe that I am not at peace and that you are at peace. And you believe that my mentioning your disorder was me taking a potshot at you.
Do I have all that correct?
