I really hope so (I know that I could not continue living the way I was living). I am managing / coping better now, so I do think it's possible to heal in that regard.

For me, it's a matter of making gains by rewiring my thinking: replacing certain < thinking with more +> thinking: reminding myself constantly that I am safe and at peace. That I can handle anything that comes my way. And as another member taught me, to remember to add the word "yet" to my thought process. Also, as many members have reminded me, to keep in mind that I am not alone, I will "get through", to hang in and that it DOES get better.
