> It's so great to get such an informative follow-up. I do remember more about you now. It sounds as though there have been some pretty had things, but you also showed great strength and health, getting a graduate degree, finding a good therapist, dealing with everything in as positive a way as you can. I do agree with you about labels! I think everyone dissociates , or really just denies, when things are very stressful, and it's not very helpful to just get a label like that.

> It does sound as thogh you started off with one of the most stressful jobs you could have gotten! Maybe a bit easier, more supportive situation would be best for now. Still, I do givecyou a lot of credit - overall, you sound really strong and together!

> As you can see, these types of communications have almost ceased here, sadly. Maybe we can be a nucleus for starting them again. I do wish all those great people who used to post would do so again, at least occasionally.i think the communication had a very positive effect, don't you?Twinleaf, I do believe the communication was important. For me, it gave me a connection to people not IRL who understood what I was going through. I believe for all the negative energy here sometimes I was able to pick some positives from it hence my return. I am thrilled to hear from you. We can be a positive change here. I believe in putting out there what you want. Don't get me wrong I have very bad dark days (think today) but as my therapist reminded me today she said you are strong you have great abilities to cope with situations such as those I am continuing to work on. But she said don't be too hard on yourself for the decisions you have made because all any of us can do is work with the information we have from the position we stand in...i realized today that i have parented, loved, taught right and wrong, encouraged, myself to the point I am now. It has been tough but ALL of us on this site have resilience. We have gotten through tough times however pretty or ugly our emergence has been been and we are still here fighting the fight for some measure of ourselves to be better than we were or our situations were. That is something we ALL should examine and celebrate more. So I will unite with your to be the change we want to see and spread more communication so others can take from it whatever they are meant too!
