It seems strange, that such a painful memory is also such a precious one.
I had not thought of PB in the same way. Pain, easing pain... I guess in a way it is. The difference is here when we reach our hand it is with the wisdom and empathy that is gained from experience. When we reach out for those hands outstreched towards us it is with a sense of security. Sometimes, the only safety we might have known with these stigmatised illnesses we suffer from.Wow. I am humbled.
Thank YOU Dr. Bob. I believe that my progress (or stability) has been directly affected by having PB. I see my PDoc, and take my meds, and try and take the best care of myself and my daughter that I can, even with the stress of a divorce and now a custody battle ahead of me. I just had a little run in with a kidney stone (thanks to genetics, and topomax), but there are no "Groups" around here for me to participate in. PB has been more supportive than not. It has been more educational than not. I'm not sure how I even stumbled on this site now, but I'm glad I did.
