LaPinturaBella

I’ve been posting here since early May. And I have yet to really tell my story. But I wanted to take the time to thank each and every one of you on this site. I had been lurking since late October 2010, after the whole truth about my XABF came to light. I needed to learn about this disease and you all taught me A LOT! I credit a lot of my understanding and healing so far to you all, in conjunction with the support of my therapist. Your ES&H have been a beacon of light leading me out of the fog, confusion and outright anger.

So just wanted to take the time and say THANK YOU. You all have been helping me for months before I finally decided to step out of the shadows.

Thanks for the welcome TC and Stella. This place seems to be the giant light-bulb I needed to make everything click into place. I hope what I've learned helps others too, because I view it as my responsibility to pay it forward.
