hey hon, no, I don't have a tread, I'm still flying low, in a while I'll ditch the new name and go back to being cat03, I have a few threads on "piecing" under cat with great advice if you care to look at them.

I remember that, on the outside I was keeping it together, but boy I was going nuts elsewhere, I started having obsesions w/death, getting old, who's going to care about me, etc etc, it was stress, it was coming out some other ways, so please try to talk to a therapist when you can ok?


...but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. piecing after separation
