You can't imagine how honored I was that you chose to post my whole comment. <BR/><BR/>In my Cheryl post, I didn't include my diagnosis because I didn't want people to read it and just dismiss their ability to get help and heal because they were not also bipolar with severe <A HREF="http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/posttraumaticstressdisorder.html" REL="nofollow">PTSD</A> . I guess I should have also said that every day is still a struggle against the darkness that is always lurking around the edges of my being. Getting help and healing does not erase the scars of our wounds. It does not erase the memory of the pain of those wounds. It just means that we can remember without reacting.<BR/><BR/>I am so proud of your progress. Writing is an amazing cathartic release mechanism -- one I'm betting a lot of our blogging family here is grateful for. <BR/><BR/>Keep taking care of yourself. You are gonna be just fine!<BR/><BR/>xoxo <A HREF="http://damama2all.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow">http://damama2all.blogspot.com/</A>Damama Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00433392172815959276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2534320413472260119.post-36802739771262605272007-12-13T15:32:00.000-05:002007-12-13T15:32:00.000-05:00Good Luck with the quitting!!

I admire you for choosing such a difficult thing at this busy time of year and before you are moving...when you make it through all of this, you'll know you can make it through ANYTHING!<BR/><BR/>xoxo,<BR/>Jen<BR/><BR/>also of note: my comment approval word was vjsswad...I don't know why but I find that word to be interesting.
