    I'm back, after all.

    It's been two years, three? Honestly, I don't have much recollection of being on this site, the first time. I do recall, while being here, noting some others declaring their freedom and quitting, and my envy of them - although with afterthoughts of, “Is it going to be a temporary thing? Will...

    Thank you and goodbye

    Hello! Hey everybody. My last post here. Okay, I joined this thing in Oct. 2011. I had had enough, I was going through some very bad stuff that was making my living intolerable. I did a Google search. By chance, I found this site. I read through a few threads. I realized that this S.A.D. was...

    Attack anxiety! Journal of HM

    Thought about doing this for ages, but never found a middle-ground mood to actually start it. Replies are welcome but not necessary. Unless I ask a question :) I will be giving a bunch of tips that have helped me out as well. They've helped me out, but I know they won't work for everyone...

    Not for 'showing off' or anything, but I've had these for so long that they're... I dunno. Just an urge to get them "out there", or I'll bust open... Done in a prose-poetry style. Eh, here goes... A Message To My 4 Year Old Niece (When You're 20) this is the best phase in your life long...

    Suddenly, I was normal!

    Has anyone else on the boards ever experienced a sudden normalcy? Everything gone, poof, no worries? Some years back (you'd think it'd be something I'd mark on a calendar) in what I believe was a February, I woke up and felt different. As the day wore on I realized that I was less tense - and...

    Hiya

    Okay, leaping off the diving board... Been 'lurking' for a couple weeks here - mostly biding time trying to think up a decent user name (didn't help!) - and can't believe it took this many years to find such a good site.
