Thank you again Sky... begining to feel guilty i dont do this research myself... I'm assuming you have experience and references available... Mom has a Concordance, but in truth, I'm trying to uncover the diverse application of "catharsis"

i'm actually kind of astounded by what ive learned so far...

im someone who adds things together, and if they fit, i test it out.. sometimes it holds water...

ive been carrying a suspicion that my mental illness was psych/spirtual..

i tried traditional therapy and all i can say is, it didn't work fast enough...

loss of words usually, felt misunderstood, or like i was saying what i really felt...

but i wasn't stupid... that's why i was so overwhelmed.. my mind could still funtion, well, but all social skills had been demolished... and it wouldnt go away..

a pdoc prescribed Zoloft about 2000... it helped clear my head but had side effects... but it may have given me the leap i needed ...

the personal catharsis i endured prior to that had kept me alive... never understanding what i was doing, no manual, training, or guide... just loosely something i called "catharsis"

i saw a painting or read a poem here and there and the term catharsis was associated in some way... because the images so expressed the way i felt inside, i connected catharsis to my feelings...

but ive never talked about it with anyone, before this... thanks again and i would welcome anyones opinions or thoughts on this subject...
