there are many times that i feel as if i am alone. it sounds a little strange saying that considering that i have a wonderful family that i live with. however, there are those times where i search the deep confines of my mind and find something that seems as if i can only deal with. all alone...no one else. but i also find that each time i have to deal with this thing, it gets a little easier. i really believe that it is partly due to the fact that i realize that others have been through the exact same thing and have survived. i want to thank you all for sharing your experiences, because it does make a difference. respectfully, SM
