Rhapsody,

Thanks so much. I'm beginning to realize that I should have titled my first post "Feeling Lost and Alone" because of how the simple fact that someone is responding makes me feel. I'm beginning to think that this chat room, with these people in it, will be a part of what I hope is a healing process for all of us. I appreciate your suggestions so much because they are things I know I can do, despite the paralyzing resistance. I know that I am not a "special case". Realizing that while reading messages posted here helps. I just want to get through this, and maybe help someone else to do the same when I am able to offer words that I have confidence in. Thanks, Rhapsody, not only for your thoughts, but for caring enough to reply. I wish you the very best in every way.
