If I remember correctly you have always felt alone. Keep going and you will learn how to not be alone anymore. You won't learn it where you are, you have to keep going..............

Fear is so common Griffe. We have all felt it. Facing your fears is how they go away, though. Fear and anticipation of the unknown is the worst! When the unknown becomes known, however, we look back and wonder why we feared it so much!

I like what Capp said about stripping away the defense mechanisms. They have to be removed to put something else there that is healthier in its place. In the interrim it feels like crap, though.
