I didn't know this thread was still operating. Maybe I dissociated. I'm sorry. Thank you for keeping it going. My "voices" have been more of a problem lately. And, as you yourself know, I can't get away from them, no Greyhound bus can take me to a safe hiding place. So I keep learning how to build new strengths in myself. Maybe your voices sometimes discourage you from reading & posting. I have that problem. There's no way to explain what it's like to someone who has never experienced it. So most of us keep it to ourselves, right? Anyway, thank you very much for sharing!! It helps me a lot, & probably others.
