I, for one, can't just ignore your post. Forgoten, some things are not best put aside.
I have no idea who I am, or how many there are of the inside/outside me.........people see who they want to see and the image that you project. I know, I do it everyday and people prefer it. You don't need to do it here, as I have found out, and if you have a therapist, don't do it with him/her.
Stay with us and don't quit trying. I am hanging by a thread these days trying to keep "it together". I'm having nightmares and flashbacks that make me wish not to wake up. If you need to, PM me and we'll talk more..........it is not a problem or an imposition.
