Hi Shirley, I have read your posts. Can I ask you, would you describe yourself as someone who has a difficult time coping with many things in life and that change is very slow for you and that life is emotionally painful? If that doesn’t describe yourself, then please ignore the rest of my message. I ask this because I have been like that throughout my life and my life has been very emotionally stressful and has stood still in so many ways. I am 50 and even though I sought solutions, read many self-help books, went through counselling, and group therapy since I was 30, my problems never really went away. No one seamed to be able to help me change and stabalize. I did make changes, but it has taken me a life-time and I am still not well. A couple of months ago, I was diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder. I now have some hope that I can rid myself of such drama in life and pain and fear and stuckness because i now have the right tools to manage my emotions and life. I raely visit this site, and so i may not respond further to you. I hope that I have helped you and that I am not way off base with my thoughts.
With my best intentions,
Leslie
