Thank you Anne, I've had 12 strong years of therapy and I was told that I really don't need any more. I'm happy with who I am and with my life. I don't feel the need to talk with a therapist but if I did, I certainly would go back into therapy. I believe it's a great thing to do! I am medicated all the time against PTSD. I inherited a case of PTSD, and I take care of it like religon! I know that so long as I had my treatment and take my medication for the trauma, I'll be fine, and it's going on twenty years now that I've been taking care of it. I was in therapy until I was 38 and finally, as I said, I was told I didn't really need anymore. I'm not afraid of catching my mother's illness, I would have shown it young, in my teens. I've never heard a "voice," and I'm sure I won't.
I appreciate your compliments. It's a problem, that self esteem when you grow up with an ill mother!
