Overwhelming, But Quite Excellent

[cragger65]

Something is opening up inside of me the last few days. Something good, something scary. A lot of memories, and a ton of creepy-crawly snakes of anxiety. But you know what? It's OK. I'm not the only one any more.

For the first time ever in 7 years, I felt tonight like I might be able to own my trauma - my trauma - God that feels good - I might own my trauma, instead of it owning me.

It's not going to make life all peachy-keen, just better.

my thanks to all,
Dave

That is a BIG step. :smile:

How very freeing and hopeful it is when you can be where you are now!

There will be difficult times ahead but you know that.

Congradulations. Walk tall, my friend, walk tall.:clap:

That's wonderful, Cragger :smile: "Better" is always an improvement (that sounds dumb, but it's true). Hang on to that feeling!

GO for IT! Grab hold and enjoy the ride. Isn't it like opening a window and letting the air in with a little sunshine. To be steering the car again instead of being in the back seat - WOW!

What a great feeling. There will be bumps in the road but you have good shock absorbers or you wouldn't be where you are.
