LL:
You are lovely. I never expect anyone to respond ever, so please don't feel like you always need to respond. And "pat on the backs" are just as helpful as advice - especially to someone who's used to worse, if anything. Holding onto the idea that you, or others, even only read my blubbering recaps of my sessions and worries, helps. I guess that's the whole Witness thing. When you have no one to share with, the despair of suffering alone makes the original problem itself continue to grow even bigger.I used to write it (and other stuff) in a journal thinking, "If I'm ever not here, someone will find this at some point, and read it and know of everything." But I've found within the past year that that is not nearly enough anymore.
If it's true that anything I whine about can help you in the smallest way, then that makes me happy. The idea that I could help someone, instead of destroy them, is comforting.
(And thanks for the help with the B-mail. I'm still thinking about turning it on. I'm ridiculously paranoid even though it's secure. It took me forever to get the courage to post my first response here. Plus, I'm computer-dumb, and stuff I don't know freaks me out a bit)
Thanking((((you))))
