I'm one of them--your second post really put my journey into words! Thank you so much....reading it is like a recap of my own struggles to fill in the void, learn to self soothe, resist the cravings for contact, get myself through the painful lows and start developing better habits (I learned to hide in doors, sleep and crawl into a paralyzing fog of depression, rather than work harder.) I'm looking forward to getting down to work with my new therapist too, who comes back next week after a month away.
Thank you again, LeSigh! So clear and well written....so encouraging.
