> Dinah,
> Even if your thoughts don't seem rational, I'm glad you wrote them downAfter setting the groundwork with tons of embarassment, I just handed him the paper that I hadn't even looked at since I wrote it. He was great! Talked about the embarassment first, and how it was great that I gave it to him, and after I took my hands from over my face, he talked to me about content. I feel so *relieved* tonight. He was soooo unphazed (sp?) and soooo sensitive and insightful. He's *really* good sometimes.
The issue is by no means settled, but we both know what it is. :) (And when he pointed out the distortions in my thinking, he agreed that knowing it wouldn't change it right away. Extra credit points!)

> BTW, what is your IRL support network? Just curious.
>Well, I haven't much of one. That was the criticism. My friends are mostly ones that I made in school. Many have moved away. My best friend, who went to school with me, and worked with me, died two years ago next April. I've got my husband, of course.... And my therapist.
And some great online friends, and this board.
But I'm schizoid/schizotypal you know. (grin)
