> Cool you're getting out. I developed, very suddenly, severe arthritis in my hip. Saw an orthopedist and he said -- you need a new hip. Had a replacement this summer and only recently have been able to go for walks again -- just really the last three weeks. I went for long 4-5 mile walks several times now, alone, with a friend, with my husband. Feels great. The cool air, the foliage.

What helps is meditating more, getting outside more, and not using the boards as much for support. That's why I have been going to an IRL group. I do feel safe there.

>I go to my support meetings Sunday evenings. It's the kind of place where, if you ask whether anyone there has ever been told grow thicker skin, all hands go up.
If you ask whether any of us have suffered from social anxiety, all hands go up.
If you ask whether any of us have been called cry baby, all hands go up.Kind of incredible. A room full of PC's. And what is more interesting is what brings us together. Intuitive gifts. It can get a bit shamanic, or old fashioned religious, but we each have gifts of intuition.
What I have learned is that the more I trust mine, the more likely I am to have made the right decision. My heart rules over my head, or I lose.
Maybe that is why I get into such voracious pits here. I am using my head and not my heart?
