I really respect your opinion and appreciate the compliment.
I know what you mean about when I first started posting, I was all over the place emotionally.
I can't recommend having a good IC to help you get your head together enough.
I think when everything is new for the LBS after you get the bomb your anxiety gets in the way of making rational decisions.
Things go through your head like, 'If I screw this up I've blown it' and you over think how to act in situations so much that you end putting so much pressure on yourself to keep the M together that you forget who you are.
When you find yourself again & you GAL because you genuinely do want to have some fun & are not putting on a side show for the WAS, that's the first key goal to all of this & what DB is about for me.
Not everyone saves their M who comes here, because when we get here the s@*t has already hit the fan for a lot of us.
For all the (usually constructive) criticism & disagreements we have along the way with each other, I wouldn't change a thing about this forum, we are all lucky to have found this space.
