  • "Thank you so much Carol, I was really touched by what you said yesterday. I have forgotten it of course, but your words made me cry because I've been trying so hard to get some help and all I found were dead ends and medications. Today I forgot I was participating in a timed experiment and closed the browser and wandered off, and had to explain to the student that I forgot, to a response of absolute incredulity, so thank you for understanding properly."
