Yes, this forum is a godsend for me. Other than my SO, I have no one to talk to about my true identity. I don't have a therapist, no real close friend I want to open up to. It's hard to imagine not having you girls to talk to both seriously and tongue in cheek.

I'd go so far as to say that this forum replaces a therapist for me. It has been hugely helpful to feel a part of a group that understands how I feel inside. And, of course, my herbal therapy has been the other key element in relieving my GD. Is it any wonder that after a short break, I can't wait to resume my meds?

It's going on four months now since coming here, and I have to say it's been the best thing I've done to improve my overall mental health since...I don't know when.

I love you all.

Aw, darn it, Clara... Barely 830 in the morning on a Saturday...I'm having a nice cup of coffee, and you have me crying already?!?!?!
Shucks, Sis, it's like I keep saying...this place has the feel of a confessional booth lately. You are far from the only one of us that feels the way you do. I would bet all or most of us do, to one degree or another... it is way, way too much weight to carry alone. Especially for as long as some of us have... I think we are all pretty glad to be there for each other. Holding hands in the dark makes things not so hard. I did not know, really, how lost I was until I came here... I am proud to be there for any of you.
Love and hugs!
(Ok, where are the friggin kleenex?)

Sammie, sweetness, you have a real nice way relating to everyone here; so full of empathy, kindness, understanding and humor. You're the best!

Aw, No, Sis, I just live in awe of all the wonderful girls here, and grieve for all the loneliness. I am eternally grateful to all of you for giving me so much. LOL ...that just sounds like a line when I read it back, but... I mean it. I just want in any way I can, to reflect back as much of that support as I possibly, possibly can. .......
Hugs
