Nobody is judging you here...or at least they SHOULDN'T BE! Let me know if you have recieved any attacking or hurtful comments.

I bet part of your inability to handle all this was the way you would have percieved someone else prior to going thru it.....I know I was harsh in my judgement of parents before I was one and after becoming a mom, I was WAY harsh on myself....

Therapy is suggested NOT for those who sound weak, but for those who sound *lost*.....

Think of it as a "phone a friend" option. Here you are "polling the audience". LOL....

Glad to know things have been resolved. PADS is slippery and tricky. It can come back when you least expect it and the soft spots that it exposes will weigh on your mind. It has left scars on my emotions...and I was NEVER the emotionally fragile type! BUT by being HERE and by giving it a name and getting to know it, I have found that relapses (although scarey) are shorter and less intense as the time passes.....
