Gone & now I'm back

[Maribelle]

Hey, I used to post here for a short time rather frequently & was really enjoying the help that doing so was bringing into my life.... I mentioned before that I'm a survivor of childhood sexual abuse -- posting here was allowing me to (temporarily) "open up" with myself & my partner.

However, things lately have been very difficult. I found an amazing support board that I visit more often now & I'm resuming therapy, getting medications for depression -- I decided to stop back in here hoping that maybe I can help myself work through some of the new feelings all over again....

So, I just felt like announcing myself because this time I only want to read for a bit, but letting you know I'm here might reinforce the idea to myself that I show up

*PEACE*

Welcome back Maribelle. We are still the same nice folks (and a few jerks). Remember helping others work through their stuff helps you as well. We look forward to your jumping back in.

Thanks, Brandye -- I think I've decided to compromise: I'll refrain from replying to "nonsense" threads & will respond to intimate concepts in my journal ... only posting on the board for issues that I think require a different perspective
