Dear allicia:

In your last post or the one right before it you wrote that you are afraid to be all alone, in a new program, alone with students younger than you, away from when your peers (same age students).

We all need comfort from other people, a sense of togetherness. It is the same as an animal in a herd finding itself alone- there is safety in the togetherness of the herd.

As animals, we inherit the same emotions.

I hope you find a group of people, starting with one friend, with whom you share your thoughts and feelings. In such togetherness you will find comfort. On this website, others are available for you. I am. So every time you post, when I am at the computer (and have been daily for over a year), I will respond to you, every time.
