 Once the faucet is open, the pressure goes away, doesn't it? I know, not completely. But it's the first step. And Marc, trust me, it DOES get better. It ain't the end, not by a LONG shot, but it's the end of the beginning. The road gets more level. Bumpy to be sure, but not the great huge hill you saw. I'm very proud of you, my brother. You need anything, I'm here. Peace and love (and why can't I see you at the top of the screen?   ) Scot

Marc,
I'm glad you had a good session with your psychologist, its a great feeling after telling someone face to face. I had the same trouble, I just couldn't say it. I knew that this person was a professional but I guess I felt like if I didn't say it it wouldn't be real. But it is real, and I did say it and it felt great.
Congrats, I'm here for you man, and
I BELIEVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jason

Marc,
That is a big step forward, you are on your way. Forward.
My phychiatrist was the first person I told, basically because he was the first to ask. My therapist was the second for the same reason. I should have done that years (and years) before. Better late than never.
Journey well,
Bill

Marc, There are no more secrets. Doesn't that part feel so much better? Congratulations, Marc, you took a big step. Things do get better because you're making it so. Thanks, Joe

Great news, Marc. And I really like what you said about the rope because it seems we all do that at times.
We throw ropes for ourselves and each other to hang on to.
The best thing is, when you have a lot of ropes all together, you make nets, and rope ladders; Places where you're caught safely, and places where you climb back up.
That's a great image for what we have here; Safety nets and ladders- Lifelines all over the place.
Thanks for reminding me.
