I'm glad for the opportunity to reach out to you, for a change. But I wish you weren't feeling so badly.
I think you're right that in the grand scheme of this mysterious thing we call therapy and healing, the searching is trivial. (Except in my case, where it's unforgiveable. I'm amazed that people have the courage to admit it to their therapists. I doubt I EVER will! Maybe I wouldn't feel so guilty if I didn't find so much stuff!) :)
You truly amaze me, and I'm hard to impress. You're a faithful and giving poster, not to mention very insightful and intelligent. You've set me straight more than once, and it has literally set my life on a new and better course. I know that praise from other people doesn't fix anything when you feel crummy about yourself, but try to believe in the sincerity of the people who admire and are grateful to you. I've done a lot of reading on this board, including the archives--especially lately :( --It's so easy to see how loved you are by people on this board. Try to accept and internalize that. Feel it and embrace it as the result of who you are and all you have to give.
