One--you can change and move threads around. I can't figure that out.
Two--your list of what you learned and achieved in SIX months. I promptly began to beat myself up because I don't think I have accomplished any of that! OK, I did lose 30 pounds, but that wasn't due to any effort on my part. Yes, I am a petty enough person to be JEALOUS of a fellow DB'er making such good progress in her life!
I copied and printed out your list, and I am going to bring it to my next C session. I may be further along than I realize--my C may be able to give me some perspective. So realize you are an inspiration to others on these boards!
RE: your date. Everything you described sounds totally normal. I went on one date to play pool. Fine time, not a guy I found myself particularly interested in, went home and sobbed.
Tried again with another guy. Nice walk in the park, nice guy, sobbed. Now this guy and I have had several "dates" and it has been good practice in chatting, learning to relax, open up. No more sobbing.
Went with a guy friend to town meeting to look like I had a suitor in front of X. Some actual potential chemistry there. A fling would be the perfect thing.
These three stage took-- 5? months? So, time, time, time.
I want to learn about this "labeling feelings" thing.
I hope your cold gets better soon! Zinc! and Vit C!
