I would like to propose a new post header flag: "AP" 

In my strictly personal herstory, I have yet to experience a psychotic break where my head was not lost in a cacophony of loud and indecipherable chaos. Even when I dissociated to psychotic catatonia, the inside of my head was still a loud mass of insane confusion. The sheer quantity was terrifying. I felt like a small animal trapped in freeway traffic. Any input, whatsoever, felt like blinding headlights attached to ungiving bumpers and heartless tires I had no names for. Send in the cleaning crew. Declutter my closets, please. Please no advice. My bio-filing system is a mess and the soundest of advice will only add to the litter. Great books don't belong on a zoomway.

To everything there is a season.

I honestly do not believe I could have recovered as far as I have from the legacy of child prostitution without ALLOT of help and guidance. Control freak that I am, I tend to go overboard on screening my advisors and guarding my most tender wounds. That work is still in progress. My control freakery isolates me far beyond good health or sensibility, but I am seeking to balance it. I don't believe it is a bad thing when used well. Don't cure it. Train it. It is good to keep an open mind, but not so open that my brain falls out again. Stuffing my gray matter back into my cranium is a job I hope I never have to do again. Just hoping. . .

In the interest of that training --and perhaps even exposure therapy-- it is good to seek advice at times. Does it make sense to have a post header which declares the hope/need ahead of time? PNA (Please No Advice) for the times we are attempting to sort the psycho clutter and AP (Advice Please) for the times we are idea shopping?

I am hoping for a group conscensus here. Just hoping. . .
