   (((((dps))))) Thank you for your continued support and presence in my life - it means so much, My Friend.
(((((Babysteps))))) Thank you for stopping by to check up on me. Yes, I'm feeling so much better, and I hope that you are, too.
This has been a great experience for me! I have been in agony for the past 11 years being ill and trying to deal with all of this mess, and especially the last 3 years. I have been triggered over and over again, especially since joining PC last August, and this incident with the new T was the ultimate - just about the worst thing that could have happened. Yet, all of it was precisely what I needed to experience in order to identify what triggers me and understand why, to give me the opportunity to get input and support from others even in the process of providing support to others myself, to change my perspective on my situation and my approach to it, and to develop the coping skills I need to function so that I can get this mess resolved and deal with the stress until then.
I know I still have a long way to go and much more to learn. I also know and that my PTSD is going to get triggered and I'm going to continue to experience depressive episodes - but I also now know that with the support of my PC family members I won't have to go it alone and I'll be better able to get through the tough times.lynn09
