For all the symbolic umbrellas you gave during my big thunderstorm

sunday! I will try my best to reply to everyone in kind; many

apologies if I leave anyone out. For a general reply I want to say

that these posts *really* help me. They help me to feel soothed, NOT

banished, a sense of solidarity with everyone. It used to be that

noone who tried to comfort me could make me feel better, because I

bought into nada's distortions that noone *should* be able to, that

anyone who cared for *me* must be wrong. After much work, I have now

grown enough to feel comforted by the actual connections I have--

including this board.
