Today, after 2.5 years of therapy - I believe for the first time I am cured. As much of it as possible by therapy. It feels good. Feels very calm and serene and at peace. After lot of learning and efforts and struggles and what nots, today I am feeling I have reached the final stage. I think I know as much as I need to know about me and I can live with what I know. And all this was possible by my ex T. Maybe my current T contributed a tiny bit, but my ex T did everything - he was just so damn good.

Thanks everyone. I hope I can keep this feeling for a long time.
But it is possible to get to that point where you feel good about yourself and can go on. I still miss my therapist a lot, and I always will. But it doesn't hurt too much anymore. And I have stopped all this self destructive thoughts. Enough dramas and pains in life as it is without adding to the misery ourselves.

I have to say thanks to you Susan. The final cure for me came from actually helping you in your struggle. Helping you helped me heal myself too.

We were here different but the same. And we helped each other. That's beautiful. I'm almost ready to say good-bye, Pinkeye. I feel it, I hope so.

Thanks Susan. I believe the same too - we are very different yet the same in some way.
Work on your drug problems though. Chemical dependany is something which has the power to derail you, so make a promise to yourself to not let that happen.

It's hard. I'm trying to fill up with the feelings that being cared for gave me. Cared about? Cared for? I don't know. I know I had desire, that was so great. I loved having that. I'm having trouble with it now. My confidence is minus zero. I let someone else decide what my value, my worth is. I'm still getting over that.

Thank you for sharing that and for giving the rest of us hope.
I truly hope the feeling is a permanent one for you. It's nice to know the hard work pays off!
