I definitely see how confinement would have adverse effects on an independent person such as yourself. Taking about it is a very important part of the process. Hopefully the first comment on this page doesn’t take away from your ability to be honest and open with not only the community, but yourself as well.

Your last paragraph hit me like a ton of bricks. The world can sometimes morph into a very different place once your safety net has been placed on the sidelines. I like that you’re using this opportunity to tackle the deeper meaning behind your temporary (I saw temporary because you seem like the type of person who grows from every experience) unhappiness.

This, too, shall pass.

Sometimes, for some people (read me) that kind of restrictive, tailored environment feels a lot like imprisonment. I can totally understand. But there are times we benefit from letting go and yielding to the process. I’m going to advise you to try to do that, but also recognize it’s something I personally don’t know if I could handle. I do know that people who DO surrender to the process come out better for it. I have faith that you’re strong enough to do just that.

Yeah if you are staying too long like me, maybe. But actually the four week program that is what the program really is, was great and really effective. I think being taken out of “reality” helps most people really. And its not like they don’t have the ability to go do what they want, the program doesn’t force you to do anything. So, its actually not that unrealistic. Its still all about choice which is what the real world is about. But anyway, thanks for the support. I already feel better. :)

Funny. That is in fact how I say you’re name incorrectly. And thanks.

Hehe, the parent in ya is coming out! Yeah, its never really a choice of going home for me because I need and really want to be here. But it was a couple of rough days and I’m glad I talked about it instead of letting it fester and turn into something negative. So it’s all good!

Mary – I was wondering if you would really like being there for so long. Perhaps it’s the parent in me!

Take care of yourself. Sometimes it’s hard to make the choices we know we need to make. To stay or to go. You will make the right one.

Kudos to you on not eating out of frustration. That’s an awesome step.

I can’t add much that hasn’t already been said. I’m just proud of you. Proud that you’re facing the struggles and overcoming them rather than letting them overcome you. I’m glad you saw the positives in that you didn’t turn to food. And I’m really glad to know you’re feeling better now. :)
