I'm not glad you suffer but glad to know I'm not alone either. This is another one of those areas I have to bring to the light and frankly it's terrifying to do so. But now we know we're not alone, maybe it will be a little bit easier!
Who ever knew that happiness could be so scary? I guess I just don't trust it yet, but someday. I'm hanging onto that, someday.
Hopefully we can get from
