i just wanted to thank everyone who has responded to my post. it really means so much to me just to get this out there, and to know that there are others who are experiencing the similar things. most of all, i think, it makes me feel so good to know that there are other people who care enough to want to help and listen.
i have a friend who reminds me all the time that just 'talking' can be very therapeutic - even if the listener doesn't necessarily have any advice. i think overall we just want to be understood, and having someone there to listen can mean the world. so i want to thank all of you.
i'm just beginning to realize that i really do have something that needs attention, and am trying to figure out how to deal with it. i do have hope. i just don't know how to manifest it, necessarily, into something that works.
but thank you for just "being there" - and for your courage and strength. it gives me courage and strength too.
