Firstly, thank you; You have a lovely way with words and I appreciate your response.
I am just bumbling through , trying things, considering other's suggestions and keeping the things that work for me at the time. I have grown so much in this past year and am eager for more. I want to quiet the negativity and chaos whirling in my mind ; it's exhausting having to smile and look pleasant all the time. I will have to google EMDR as I have not a clue what that is.
