Wow, In the new community (11years now) I have moved to knowing no one when I moved here, my friends now are women all interested in horses & other activities, my church family who are amazing, my ballroom dance group, & professionals & business owners in town. Being it is a small town & I got involved in the community along with a volunteer group out of town at the Ky horse park that has given me friends from other states & communuties in my state. I have only one friend from my DBT group that I still socialize with because we had the most in common.

I still have days when I struggle wirh my mental health issues but it was mostly resolved when I left the environment that seemed to be causing it & the outstanding T I have had here. I am almost more functional than before my depression hit in 1994 thoygh I doubt I could handle the continual stress of the computer engineering career I had for 15 years.

I have stayed in contact wirh several from my previous life & they are my eyes during this horrible divorce.

I find that I am finally surrounded by understanding & supportive people I never experienced EVER BEFORE in my life. I can share with them more about what I went through when it comes up in conversation & they understand more than any time before in my life also. I have found the ability to actually connect with people where my environment & then the depression & environment keep it from happening before. The freedom I finally have in my life has opened my own ability to connect with people way beyond anything I ever before experienced in life. Love it that my last half of life is so much more fulfillung than the first half & to have people I can actually trust & respect for the first time also.
