So much stupid was done there, so much, so much shame.... At the time I was on top of the world, I had no idea I was in a full blown mania. I just knew later that I did a lot of things I would not normally have done.
Rant away, it is helping me sort though things too.

I am so sorry for what you went through. I imagine that, like me, you are ashamed. Let's not be. Together. Ok? What do you think of this idea? I recently asked my therapist, "Do you think I'm a slut?"
He shook his head, then said, "I don't even believe in the concept." I am looking forward to hearing more specifically what he meant when I see him tomorrow. Our sessions seem so short. I'm sure everybody has this problem.
On a more specific level, can't tell you how glad I am to hear your words: "rant away" and "it's helping me sort..."
I am dizzy with relief at just being able to TALK about this. Your words are so tremendously validating to me, I have tears rolling down my cheeks.
