Wow! Thank You Sandra!

I am trying to think of how long I have had this blog- I know it has been years. I know many of the postings have created great conversations- but nothing has ever, ever resonated as much with people as Sandra’s post on this blog.  You can see it below.  I must say thank you to all of you who wrote such encouraging comments- and then thanks to Sandra- because believe it or not, she answered the comments! What a special person.  I know that many of us will find a lot of encouragement and hope from Sandra’s openness and how others have responded.

We are not weird for reacting strongly to situations- we simply have an illness that often gives us TRIPLE  the emotions than what would be expected!

Sandra’s post is below- you can click on the comments icon or go to the right to see all the comments. It’s as good as novel!
