Hi Della,
Ta a lot, much appreciated.
The recent posts have not been good to read for many of us I am sure. For my part, it really woke the AV up and it created feelings of frustration and anger. In part it is perhaps as you say, bringing back that dark place, but to be fair it is also anger and frustration at myself for feeling so tempted. It is really hard to read a post like that and not feel anything.
I try not to think too far into the future. That can become too overwhelming. Instead, I take it in baby steps and one day at a time. Nice bite sized chunks.
Cheers,
ZAB
