I'm back - 12/28/13 12:09 AM
Hi All,
I was thinking about this board today, and how it once was such a huge part of my life. I couldn't go a day without checking in, journaling, and receiving support from all the wonderful people I have met on here.
First and foremost, for those of you who are new and not familiar to my story, welcome. You are among friends and I don't know what I would have done if I hadn't read MWD's books and joined the online community.
Second, it does get better. I've said it a million times, and I'll say it again. I felt so broken, hopeless and I never thought I would ever find happiness again, but I have. I'm not currently dating anyone and I am ok with that, although I am doing the online dating thing and it's been ok so far. It's a great feeling that I don't NEED anyone to complete me, so I am selective. There is always the chance of getting hurt, but for the right person that is a chance I will be willing to take.
I don't want to make it sound like it is all rainbows and butterflies in my world, because it isn't. I've made some progress in some areas of my life while I've taken steps back in others. I've decided to start seeing my therapist once again, she was always so helpful and I always felt better after my sessions with her. That's just one of the things I am working on in 2014.
I hope everyone is doing well, and had a good holiday. I wish you nothing but the best.
