Lol, AmaShel567 -- no worries. I too, write things and don't realize till they go up that they're a wall of words. I'm glad you're here and doing much better! Just a word that might help you feel better about it... You said, "...and going to a local college wasn’t helping matters." Don't feel bad about that. Beside being water under the bridge, I can assure you that though I wasn't living at home, but going to college away, the bipolar beastie really showed his stuff there too. (Though I do understand what you mean in it not helping, neither would the other have prevented it, so don't go too hard on yourself. Does that make sense?)
Sounds like you are making GREAT strides! Congratulations!!!
