Grateful

Glad I'm still here on DS.  Just got a new computer!  Dad's been promising me one for more years than I care to remember.  Of course I'd given up so this was a surprize.  Nice.  So I think I'd like to increase my regular use of DS here to log in more.  That would be good for me.  I realize this is a part of my lack of isolating and I've certainly been isolating.
Grateful for the work I've been doing.  Was blessed with 3 different temporary jobs of seasonal type places I work for.  I think it is good for me to get back into the social life and hard work of being on the job.
My one close friend got offended and I got my feelings hurt.  I am fearful now of her anger happening again.  It's been weeks since we've communicated which is odd.
I realize with having gone through stalking, a lot of our mutual friends sort of discounted my experience of abuse with the stalking.  I realize that is a hurtful part of abuse, to have close friends minimize it.  I have sort of eliminated a lot of my previous contacts  through a change in meetings so I don't have to experience this which I realize now is what I was so uncomfortable with.  So I am grateful to be able to have some healing with this distance
