AngelGirl,

I hope you're around, I wanted to respond to your first message......
I would like to say I think it's very grand of you to try and look at yourself ( in your first post) and ask how others coped/dealt with relationships. I believe that shows the desire to progress.

I think I'm on the other side of the "coin"- from you. I'm the one that flees when things are feeling a bit too uncomfortable. I wonder if that's the kind of people you are having relationships with- people like me?! My T. has told me " I bet when you run from someone, they don't even understand what happened"--- you know, I think he's right. As far as dealing with it... well, that's still a work in progress. - sorry I'm not much help!

May I say though AngleGirl... please try not to get upset when people don't post right away. For me, I have a family and weekends can be hectic-- and I had a real tough session thursday with my T. and couldn't handle it and did some things that weren't good for myself-- so I've been feeling a bit down and that makes it harder to post-- which for me is real hard without the depression. Well, I said more than you probably wanted to know-- I just wanted to give you an example of how it's not you.... things happen and people sometimes just aren't able to answer too quick. I'm also saying this for myself-- as I do the EXACT same thing in my mind ( I worry with almost every post- that no one will respond- including this one)--

I'm wishing you well,

Mandy
