Dear Kathy,
I know exactly how you are feeling. I was there last Easter. If you have to go, know that you are going with a heap load of thoughts wishes and blessings, love, energies, (Devlyn's old tea cups)whatever to sustain you. We love you, and prefer you stayed to move through this one, but if you have to go, please come back.
I was away for over 2 months, and I can honestly say, as I've said before, it was the genuine, authentic love that continued to flow from here that kept me alive and finally gave me the confidence and self esteem to once again join society, albeit a much stronger woman. In hindsight, I may not have been away that long if I'd stayed (?? !! ?? Must be the Irish blood in me) I mean, if I'd stayed connected and just taken a lower profile, I may have recovered sooner. (Phew!!)
At least keep in touch and let us know how you are coping. And keep those therapists busy. I gave mine a literal hiding, and they returned the favour, but what growth came for that was unbelievable.
Please keep in touch. You are doing a spectacular job with the effort you are putting in. Just keep believing in yourself, because I know you can do THIS. You wouldn't be here in the first place if you couldn't.
Love and huggs
Catherine
