[Secret Lives]

Well Julie, it's been a long time since I posted here, and I don't visit often now, but I know the world you're stepping into. If it were up to you, do you really think you could start a whole new life? I know that some days I want to remake myself and just escape the old me. Well, after a long time I found out that I had to do something about a prescribed way of life. (PM me about that if you're interested.) Now I doubt my strength to get away from the way I've been living and all the help I can find is only as good as my conviction to do what I must.

Your therapist should guide you to what is best for you. The way you are, not the way you see yourself when you want to escape, or have a wild experience. I haven't known very many people on a forum for as long as I've known some of the people here, even if I don't say anything anymore. Keep listening to your therapist and if you find her advice wildly wrong for you don't hesitate to find someone who can work with you to come to grips with whatever is really getting in your way.

Peace be with you.
