PC has been a huge part of my life for 14 1/2 years....many phases of my life during those years.
When I came here in 2004 my mom was dying & I actually was going through a trauma dealing with the home care person, anorexia from the stress & I was a total mess. Pc helped me have a place to talk about what I was going through.
Next phase a few years later & PC helped be there for me when I left my H after 33 years of marriage & moved 2100 miles across the country. Driving across country it was great to have people to check in with each night when I stopped. I had no family & no one I really knew at that point in my life but I knew I was heading to start a new life.
Living alone for the first time in my life it was great to have PC to communicate to real people.
I finally got into good T & then started DBT group work. PC was a wonderful place for me to write my thoughts & experiences down & what it meant in the way of healing.
It has been great to share with others what I have learned that has helped me & encourage others that there really is HOPE.
The last 2 years have been dealing with finally getting my divorce & all the stupid stuff I am still dealing with to finalize the marriage assets even after getting divorced. Just having a place to express my irritations had helped & serves for me to formulate my thoughts into functional presentation of those thoughts.
It is wonderful to have a place to share the good things happening in my new life & a place to grumble about the not do nice stuff.
Love my new farm life & it is fun to share some of the awesome experiences & maybe add a smile to someone's life that may not really feel like smiling.
It was nice to have a safe place to deal with the death of my soulmate doggie who was a part of my life for 16 years. He had been a huge part of my posts here also. The grieving has been difficult process & I still struggle with it but it is wonderful to have a place to share both the difficult & the good things in life.
Nice people here on PC & some great connections I value & treasure (Fuzzy).
Looking back over the years it is great documentation of just how much I have healed & grown after the age of 54. It is nice to have a place this is documented beyond just a feeling I have about it.
