Hi Weekenders,
Didn't really get a chance to read everyone's posts but it seems like there's some good discussions here. Like thinking about those anxiety-free "good" times that I could hardly remember the next day—the anxiety part of me that wanted to avoid dealing with itself welcomed AV anytime, anywhere; little did that part of me know that doing that and not facing and working through said anxiety wasn't solving the problem, only prolonging it. Facing difficult emotions is no walk in the park, but so much more rewarding in the end to do so.
That said, I've had a lot going on this week regarding my own feelings about losing my dog Argus tomorrow. I did write a final post in Newcomers tonight. If anyone is interested it's at:

Keep up the good work Weekenders!
