I guess you really can't go home again.
I can't make myself even remotely resemble the person I used to be in DS.  I don't have the courage or the self-confidence to help people like I once did.  Most posts leave me sitting at the comment box, fingers on the keyboard, with absolutely nothing to say.
I keep hoping it will all come back to me, but so far no luck.
One of my greatest joys is being able to help other people.  It gives me a purpose in life--gives it meaning.  I hope I can get that back one day.
In the mean time, I'll keep lurking around.  I'm here.  I'm just being very quiet.
Hugs to all of you,
Steve

I rated this journal as helpful (to us) as we see the heart of someone who wants to help others. That counts a lot!

The same thing happened to me...Sometimes you need to step back and realize that you cannot help others right now. Maybe you need to accept some help and love and friendship. I am here for you. I love you. Michele
