REQ: Looking for a thread from a fellow DBer...

[Abbey]

This is a good thread Abbey. Your responses do clearly demonstrate your plan. I'm not getting "arrogance" OT. Maybe a lot of pi$$ and vinegar, but maybe what is needed to keep the going going?

I like p & v people.

Thank you for this. It HAS to be P and V this time. Last time, all I wanted to do was suck my thumb, roll into a ball and fade to dust.

I NEVER,.... NEVER want to be in that abyss and darkness again. EVER. I've never been someone who's had any issues with depression until my mother died, left me with a mess in her estate, that lead to the melt down with H. There were days, that if it had not been for my critters, I would have just stayed in bed for days... weeks... til I did fade away.

I will NOT... NOT ever let myself get to that place again. It wasn't until we had a false start (saw eachother for a few months behind OW's back.)... and then we broke up (messy screaming match)... then his phone call back to me, like nothing had ever happened... did I realize just how screwed up in the head he was. It was then, that I gained back my sense of humor, and because I was away from the sitch... and she was successfully driving him crazy... all I had to do was affirm his feelings, and gently remind him that I'm "the better" choice.

I'm back to that spot again.
