Thank you Gwen! Psycho-therapy (which I can't afford) is in depth, and it's purpose is to release the unconscious contents of the patient. It's taken me a long time to express my feelings, and...

Individuality! I finally GOT IT! (Or so I believe, time will tell, and practice.) No one, and I mean absolutely NO ONE, has the right to criticize me for being me! There is no law, real, implied,...

First let me say how much I appreciate my friends on DS, especially you two today who are my constant companions in my quest for recovery. I know I sound obsessive G, but I look at it as determined...

Well...evidently I have reached a plateau. The need to write wordy entries has subsided. I'm figured some stuff out and satisfied at the moment. I'm settling in to the idea of learning who I really...
