Glad to be friends on here now and look forward to communicating with you. I don't know much about this site, either, but come on and read posts and blogs and find it helpful in some way. Hope you're having as good a week as possible. After my difficult weekend, I'm feeling a bit better - but felt on the verge of a panic attack for a good part of today...don't know exactly why but these things happen from time to time and I'm learning to roll with it for the most part. Overall, however, I feel like I'm doing a little better all the time and that's encouraging to me. I hope the same will be true for you. Take care. Bests, Lynne
Welcome to this site and wish that it was under very different circumstances, of course. Hopefully, you will find some comfort and understanding here. I left a comment on your discussion about long weekends, btw. Bests, L.
