Daisy, Happyflower, Maddie, Muffled, Elaine... and the rest of Psycho-Babble kind people.
I feel like we are all kind of walking in eachother's footsteps sometimes. I get so much comfort when I read about your struggles and know that I'm not the only one. You all have unique voices and unique stories, but there is a silken ribbon that somehow ties us all together. I don't know. I just get a lot of comfort from knowing that I don't have to be alone on this trip. I feel like Daisy has such good, solid strong advice-- and that I'm not scared to listen to her, because I sense her strength and her compassion. And Happyflower- who has all those emotions that I never allow to bubble up to the surface, except for the occasional panic and terror. Muffled- you may feel like you're walking around in the dark with your arms stuck out, trying not to bump into anything, but you are shining a light that I can see. I like knowing that you are there, and that you can still be silly and have kids and have fun, despite it all. Elaine. who is so brave, and so compassionate. Who has so much heart and love that is just waiting for the right person to share it with. And Maddie- the first person who spoke to my torment on babble. You and Lar welcomed me here, and you said something that really hit me once, and has stayed withe me (you told me that I need to FEEL!) You're not the first or the last, but when YOU said it, as a woman scientist, I knew that I had no excuse not to listen! I have always looked towards you, because you have so many gifts that I strive for--Because I know that if you can do it I can.
So, I just wanted to share that you all give me so much support and even when you reach out for help, like Happyflower is-- that's support too. It's so hard to reach out for help and admit that we're in over our heads. To see HF do so gives me strength that I will be able to ask for help when I need it too. I know that I have left out so many people. I just feel that with my particular issues these last couple of weeks I have gotten to know many of you at a different level, and you have helped me know myself too.
With Love,
