For me, I had reached a point where the isolation from others of like mind and state, was creating a dangerous emotional and psychological condition.
Don't be surprised if I start crying, here.
My transition...has been exceedingly rough: multiple healing processes and accelerated emotional and psychological maturation [which GID and ADHD had effectively retarded for too many years], all happening at once.
While this is a good thing, sometimes change and healing can in itself, because human beings are human beings, be exceedingly traumatic and can drive one to 'act out' in ways---that are extreme.
And I 'got out of hand' in another support group and for the sake of love, I begged the moderators to terminate my account.
So mine was something of a self-imposed isolation and after a grieving process, I was OK for a while, but the isolation began to tear me apart.
Alot had changed, alot had happened since I had left that support forum; the net result was transitional and emotional improvement. It became apparent that I had negotiated a 'phase'.
But the isolation again, was killing me and another sister had suggested this forum to me, as a source of solace and empathy.
And I cannot adequately express how much it means to me, to be a part of this forum.
