I was textbook too. I'm feeling more "normal" every day.....but I didn't start making any real progress until I started shining a bright light on all of my textbook traits, and unraveling them all. Unexamined, they just sit there and get smellier by the year
It's been quite a trip. And I wouldn't trade it for anything. I could not have become this strong any other way.
I think it's wonderful that you're willing to see how a meeting might work for you. I wasn't a "meeting person" but found them really helpful all the same. If only for the fact that I no longer felt like I was the only one who'd ever gone through this stuff.
Good luck, Christina. You'll be okay!
