I just wanted to drop in and thank everyone on this site for the invaluable support you have (unwittingly) provided. I've been following your stories for a few weeks now and feeling like a selfish parasite for taking it all in without giving back. I am not hugely into "sharing," (makes therapy interesting) but I will say that I've been at it for many months now, and it's been making my head spin. I think this is as close to "therapy for your therapy" as it gets. Knowing that there are others out there going through the whirlwind has helped me. Oh yeah. I am in the muck. Full on.
All the postings here resonate with me on some level, and a few I feel I could have written myself. Your words have been a source of comfort and companionship.
Thank you.

i agree with your sentiment that this place is like "therapy for your therapy." it is a wonderful resource for information and support and has been tremendously helpful to so many. shrinklady was truly inspired to create this place for us. i am one who alternates with posting in spurts and lapses of silence, as my circumstances allow and dictate. i am personally glad that the forum allows for that flexibility. so join in as you are able!
