Justyourlaugh and Dinah and everyone else:
Today I got an email from an old friend asking me to post here today. It was ironic because just the other day I got an email from an old friend from here. I wish I could express how much it means to me to get the emails. Even when I don't have the strength to write back, I charish the messages. In fact, if you must know, I haven't been able to delete them yet. I need them.
There was a time when I needed to post here every five minutes or so. Now, I can't get myself to even come here at all.
It has nothing to do with all of you. There is something in my heart that needs to be fixed. My soul is crying. I am trying to hear what the tears say, but I haven't been able to yet. I have a feeling that until I know, I will have to continue on my lonesome journey.
I must thank everyone. The last time I was here, I had burned the most important bridge I had ever been on. I told my beloved shrink that I was done. He is my lifeline. (He also happens to be the biggest frustration in my life as well.) Because of the responses and warmth you all shared with me, I swallowed my pride and he let me back in. --That's the funny thing about shrinks. I have yet to see one beg for a return, but they always welcome the homecoming. Hummmm...
I miss you all very much. Boo--I love and miss you. Dinah--I hope you are well. And no, you have never offended me. To both--I am so grateful to have you in my life. I am lucky that you both have allowed me the spce to try to get myself together.
Wish me luck.

It's a standing invitation, Miller. Whenever you're ready.
In the meantime, I'm glad that you were able to ask your therapist to resume your relationship. That must have been scary, but you did it. I must have left my therapist five or six times in the first five years, and he always took me back too.
Take as much time and space as you need. I'll always let you know where you can find me.

Noa, Justyourlaugh, Dinah, and everyone thinking good thoughts for me,
It feels so good and warm to be welcomed. I miss you all so much. Maybe soon I will have energy to get back into being social. You all are so great to give me freedom and support.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
LOVE

Miller,
I don't "know" you. But I wish I could.

Karen,
The archives have more than you would EVER want to know about me. Well, I guess the archives hold the "me" i was. I am chaning into a different me. Being shy around strangers is one thing. But since I am the stranger now, it feels very uncomfortable to say the least. So, I could introduce you to this "me" but I don't know what I could even offer.
I guess I am sounding very irrational right now. But, Karen, thank you for wanting to know me.

"You don't know what you could even offer"? Hmmmm... I'd say.. encouragement, truthfulness, sincerity, friendship, just to name a few.. and I don't even know you....
Now, what could I offer you?? That's the question!! I suppose you could archive me and see that I too don't have much to offer, but I could offer humor, support, a bit of tactlessness, among others... I know that from being here, I've learned so much. Maybe you too can teach me?
This is the end of the thread.
