Andy,
Thank you for your suggestions! Since one of my issues IS that I don't know many people who I'm really close with, I really want to find somebody who would be willing to talk about their challenges while I listen, and vice versa.
I will certainly check out the site you suggested.
Thank you
MiffyBunny, Thanks for your response. I agree with you that everybody is a potential "sounding board" on this site.
However, I just don't think anybody would be interested in hearing my emotional issues (or financial, or relationship, or whatever) just to listen to make my pain go away...
.... but would anybody be interested in speaking or writing on a one on one level - for the purpose of releasing some of our pent up anxiety?
I ask this because, after seeing a therapist who supposedly specialized in TMS (I could tell I was her first patient EVER with TMS) it became clear to me...
