Cali's posting is very honest and spot on. When we ask questions about a situation, it's not because we are nosy people, but because we care and we can't help a poster if we don't have any idea what is going on.
We are not professionals and don't claim to be professionals in the field of MLC, but we are all survivors of the damage that MLC/Depression have created in our lives. Not one person who posts here has come here to brag about being a role model for anyone. We are in all stages of the journey. My journey ended a number of years ago and I opted to remain here to help others navigate the pitfalls of MLC. Yes, I've read a number of books, post on other forums, have had friends in crisis and also worked w/groups off line, but that doesn't make me a professional or a role model. It means that I enjoy helping others that are traveling the path that I once was on. I learn something new each and every day when I come here and I am more than willing to share any info that I find that I think may help someone along the way. You learn to read, take what you need from that posting and leave the rest behind. Each and every poster has something to offer and it may not help you, but it could help someone else some day.
It's up to you as to how much or how little you want to share. Again, we do welcome questions and we will continue to visit your thread and if you continue to post, we'll be right here to post to your next thread and so on.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
