Yes, I have been here a long time. I googled something about therapy because my former counter-therapeutic relationship was a mess, and I was in crisis. That's how I found this place. For a good while I read, but was not registered. A few years ago I registered, but didn't post. I was satisfied with what I was getting out of it. I'd often fall asleep keeping up with the therapeutic relationships of others while I tried to figure mine out.
I suddenly started posting a couple of months ago, I think. I've know you all here for so long - but I didn't think about how it felt on the community's end to have someone post like they've always been here :-) I have - but it was very onesided. It feels like home to me - so I think nothing of kicking off my shoes and talking like I belong here - but I was a perfect stranger to everyone here! I acknowledged that in an intro I posted - but you're right - once I started posting it's like I was 'uncorked' - it has been a little prolific, I guess. Oh well.. maybe that's good - might serve for you all to catch up with getting to know me as well as I feel I know you.
I've had the name Solstice since I registered - but since I didn't post, you didn't see it. Actually, I think I did post a simple question on the medication board back in May where I got my little green *new* thingy - but I didn't interract, and I didn't post again until I popped in a couple of months ago. And I have indeed seemed to have diarrhea of the mouth :-)
As for my posting habits - I think part of it is that when I was still experiencing a lot of my PTSD-ish symptoms, I tended to be a cave-dweller. Except for professionally, I was quite silent, despite my having a chatty nature. I think my becoming uncorked here probably is because I had achieved a place of healing that has stabilized me in a way that feels even better than my pre-trauma stability. It's been a looong road, for sure.
So that's a little about who I am. I'm glad to be here.. I hope my verbosity isn't too off-putting... I also hope I do a good job conveying the genuine respect I feel for this place and the people here.
And you, Muffled, have grown very dear to me.
