Hi everyone,

I have noticed a few changes within myself since my first post on EAS a week ago.

Jen -

That is wonderful!! Coming out of lurkdom does make a big difference. I jumped right in - I think I started posting about 2 minutes after I discovered this amazing, healing place. I know exactly how you feel about not accepting help. I'm the same way. It feels really good when you open up and let someone else take the steering wheel for a moment, doesn't it?

<<>>

I'm looking forward to watching you grow and change too :)

This is very good, Jen. I always had trouble asking for help too, but IVillage opened that door for me. Also, reaching out and helping others is the balm that sooths our wounds. I am so happy you are part of this community. Hang in there. It will get better, I promise.

Hi Bodhi,

It does feel good to let someone else take the steering wheel and accept help. This morning my fear wasn't as strong, it felt good with help that I can overcome this fear and that I could overcome so much more. Thank you for your welcome Bodhi, growth and change is good I relize each day how positive this is for all of us:)

Have a good day!

Good morning Jen, Change IS good!! I don't know what I would do without all the support I receive here...I can vent, post thoughts I am having (even the irrational ones! lol) and I get suggestions that are beneficial from everyone on here. I am able to look deeper into myself for the first time in my WHOLE life...I am turning 40 next week, so it took a long time but at least I am here now!! I have to think that things happen for a reason. Not that I am condoning my A, but I can look at the whole thing as a learning experience and come away from it ( and STAY the h*ll away from it!) as a wiser, stronger person!! :) I value your comments here on EAS, Jen. Have a great day and if you are in the midwest, don't blow away today! ;) The winds will be strong here where I live! Hearts <3
