Dayzee,

Is this really a case of old vs. new? I don't understand this. Not that it is a contest by any means but I was diagnosed a very long time ago. I have worked very hard to get to wear I am now and I have been very successful. I don't want to disallusion anybody BUT there are days/weeks when I still crash and burn, it seems. This does not make me "new" to this fight. It makes me normal, in my opinion.

I understand there are people who are just starting the fight and I too remember how hard this was.

I personally have no problem going to the dentist. This does not mean that other people here don't. I can get a physical too but others struggle with this. Yet I can trigger watching a Tom and Jerry cartoon and I am sure many people here have no problem with children's cartoons. We are all where we are on this road. Not one step further or one step back.

Some advice is offered to me and it is valuable and useful. Other advice does not help me but may help others. It is all well intentioned.

I believe it was Monty who said in a post once "We are all in this together." (If I am wrong I apologise) This is how I feel. We have to stick together and stand and support one another.

I hope you can and will stay. This particular forum has always been very supportive and I hope it can stay that way.

Take care.
