Hello Everyone!!!
I'm not sure if there are people around who still remember me, but I have been away for about three years. Some updates here are that I graduated with my masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in December 2016 and I've been working as a therapist ever since. I absolutely love my job and I'm so grateful for all the amazing people I get to help. In October of last year, I got engaged to my boyfriend of seven years; however in April of this year I found out that he had cheated on me two months ago so I called off the wedding and left him. Since then I've struggled a lot with self-esteem, depression, anxiety and all around distress tolerance. I've noticed quite a few of my borderline characteristics creeping through, especially when I jumped immediately into a relationship with someone totally wrong for me which ended a few days ago after he became cruel and emotionally abusive. Now I'm focusing on working through my issues, getting back into therapy myself and truly understanding why I'm willing to tolerate relationships I'm not happy in just to avoid being alone. I remembered how helpful and comforting it was to talk to people on here going through similar emotional turmoil so here I am! I hope to make new friends and catch back up with old ones!

Welcome back!!!!
Great accomplishments (degree & job helping people through counseling) Glad you realize that therapy for yourself is still helpful. Lol....after a 33 year bad marriage & 11 more years separated but still financially stuck & unable to divorce until NOW.....being alone is a blessing that I embrace. It is all in our perspective of life....as I am actually LESS alone now than I was when I was living in the marriage. It has given me the ability to KNOW who & what I am not in relation to who I need to be for someone else.
