Whoa, hold on for a minute now, Tracy. Linda wasn't being offensive, she was offering suggestions for improvement. There's certainly nothing wrong with seeking a therapist, and if her intentions were specifically meant to berate you she wouldn't have spent her entire post writing to try and offer up encouragement in the first place.

It looks like everyone in this thread so far is on your side <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

In the end we all resort to our own methods of help. Some here use this very discussion board for suppot, others their religion (I know I rely on upon my practice of witchcraft for support in life all the time), and still others seek therapy. None of these methods should be thought of as "lesser" or embarassing or even insulting if someone proposes it as a suggestion.

Blessed be, Tracy. May the Goddess go with you through your path in life.
