suppose I can answer my own question...our saftey depends on no one but ourselves? hmmmm but if it is our own responsibility to keep safe then how can we have any true intimate relationships with others?

well...this is a constant struggle for me...on really good days, my quick answer is "because no matter what happens I'll be ok". On not so good days my answer is "the only way to be totally safe is to isolate myself in a cabin in the woods"

Struggling a bit with this one myself today...feeling some fear (back to the "things are going really well" feeling) combined with "how does this not happen again" combined with some other anxieties (job, family, school, etc).

Crap, I'm a basket case today!!! (Just kidding)

Here's my cainer hororscope for today...always uplifting!

Why are some people so deeply opinionated? Is it because they find it so hard to sail on the sea of uncertainty? Fearful that they may capsize the craft of confidence and drown in the ocean of open-mindedness, they cling to the lifeboat of belief. Yet in holding on to our big ideas so tightly we deprive ourselves of the ability to make a genuine discovery. People who think they know everything can never find out anything. Be glad of the doubts you are now entertaining, they represent your passport to a new world of enlightenment and opportunity.

so sounds like all that anxiety = BIG PAYOFF

btw....I feel so much of what you've been posting lately (the scary stuff that is) that it's almost scary...I notice some others are saying the same...I wonder...are we all somehow predisposed to such sits? do we all have some underlying connection that lead us here (not in the x-files sense) some common traits? I suppose we do. humph?

I think that there's a diverse group of folks here but that we're drawn to particular threads because they resonate for one reason or another...I DO see similarities in lots of the sitchs over here ....maybe there's something in common for us that draws us to DB'ing? That draws us to posting on BBs?

Dunno...but I am glad (in a freaky way) that others can relate to my thoughts and that I can relate to theirs!
