Thank you for the encouragement, Fuzzybear.

When I read my subject line, I feel a bit embarrassed. What a drama queen I can be! Undoubtedly, I was feeling lonely and tired when I wrote the first post, but I am not friendless. And how very, very ungrateful of me to dismiss my online friends as if the relationships formed here and other places I visit mean nothing.

Friendships here at PC were all that I had to sustain me through a very dark period in 2004 and set me on the path to therapy and helpful pharmceuticals. One online friend even emailed me privately to offer support.

I am sure I could be many friends here, if distance weren't a problem.

Thank you so much for sustaining me through a low spot.
