This is one of the reasons I asked this. I am not sure about therapy. I could say, heck, my mom is a retired pscyh nurse, my sister is a therpist with her own practice...so I am surrounded by people who know this stuff...at the same time, as I have been reading here, I have been wondering, perhaps my stubborn, its my sister and I am tired of her telling me what to do....and add to that I would need to find someonebecause theywould havetobegoodand Idon'tfeelliketryingtofindanyone
rightnow. So, todayI havetheflu andlastnightmydearhub who is home with the flu, held me in his arms and talked to me and stroked my head as i tossedandturned. And I had strange dreams all night. So, no I am back to bed. If you all dont hear from me, its cause I feel like flu crap.susan c
