I remember being concerned that my only social activity was posting on this board during the height of my emotional chaos. A knowledgeable long time poster assured me that I was here because I needed to be here. And so it went.
My life would surge forward. I'd check on my friends, and keep developing more outside interests, challenging myself. I think it's an ebb and flow thing. I got tired of moaning about things that didn't change. Many well placed and repetitive 2x4's from friends here and in person helped me see what my true reality was. Getting away is sometimes the best thing to do. People who care about the 'total' support your choices.
And there are times I have nothing to offer. I was too raw to give to others. Each phase happens for a reason and helps you develop as needed. The one question to ask is.. Is this helping me be healthy? And always keep in mind.. Do no harm.
And the best.. the absolutely best.. is when life returns to normal.. when the problems are mundane, almost boring. It's fun to bitch without heartbreak.
