I guess i come late to this.. I thought i had posted before - but couldnt have pressed enter.. thats the sort of thing i forget about sometimes....

I dont know if ive had posts edited or received word about the rules here - i kow this is a heck of a lot better than the other web st ei was at before - who wouldnt let you post anything about any therapy or name a book or recommend somthing that worked for you - you werent even alowwed to say PM me if i can help (yes i got into trouble for that ) - that site is changing but is nowhere near as good as this one .

I guess I am very thankful for Doc John starting this site and for all the wonderful people that inhabit it - without them i may not have been here today..... oh there have been bad times - ive been triggered by posts and people and have spent days in tears - but i guess thats just life.

I ahve made some wonderful friends here and some are still here - bless them for putting up with me and some have left

For those that left in a blaze of happiness i am happy beyond measure that they achieved their goal.

For those that disappeared with no word i ..... i wonder how they are - i hope they are well... i hope they are safe..... and i miss them but try to carry them in my heart

For the recent losses to PC my heart breaks a little each time - I agree with pegasus that its ok to try to persuade them to stay and i have tried - to no avail unfortunately ...... I miss theses [people like i miss a part of me - because they have become a part of me - part of my journey - they made me laugh when i wanted to cry - sent hugs and imaginary cloaks to keep me warm and safe and their words warmed my heart.

i have lost some friends recently either because they left or they stopped being friends - i guess that happens - i guess thats life - i dont have to like it - i am trying to accept it - i wish they would come back.

adn dpsht i wish that mental illness wasnt seen badly by the world - my T tells me that its like having anything wrong with you - but there is stil that stigma jmo ok. i hope you situation and everyones improves soon

I wish us all luck and love on our journeys - I am trying hard to believe in those things myself

anyway ive rambled enough - i just wanted to add my voice...
take care
