But I don't understand what you don't understand. I feel as if I'm being cheated of knowing why you've leaving. I just don't understand a lot of things, I guess. But I wish you wouldn't leave without saying why a little.
Sorry that you feel as you do, though.
I hope you find what you're looking for,
Nadezda

Wait! Wait!
Well, maybe you will peek back and see if there are any responses.I know you don't know me. I'm very new here as a poster. It took me a long time to get up the courage to post. I lurked for a long long time first.
I hope this doesn't sound too weird coming from someone you don't know, but I hope I didn't miss my chance to say thank you to you.
I had a therapist who wasn't a good fit for me for 2 years. She wouldn't talk about a lot of things with me, including dissociation. She didn't like the word, and when I tried to talk to her about my experience her help for me was "well, maybe that is just how you react to things." She was great at saying things that just shut me down tight. I was feeling very lost, confused, and alone.
One day I just started doing Google searches out of desperation and put in just the right combination of words that landed me right into one of your Babble posts. You were explaining to another poster some concepts about dissociation and things that helped you. I was so blown away by your understanding and openness. From that day on I started soaking up Babble like a sponge.
Your courage in sharing your experience here on babble (and from all the rest of the posters) has helped me in tremendous ways. I now have a much better therapist, speak up and ask for what I need in therapy, and have a lot better understanding about what is going on with me.
You even made a supportive comment once about how Babble was helping all of the lurkers out there (hey, that was me!) :)
I have always been impressed with your strength, courage, compassion, and giant-sized heart. You are one smart cookie, Muffled.
So, anyway, whether you post here on Babble or another site where you feel more comfortable, I just want to wish you well. I have felt gratitude towards you since I found that very first post. I hope I didn't miss my chance to tell you that.
Thanks!
Turtle

Nadeza-thank you. I just get kinda freaked that I say stupid things sometimes. That I get...I dunno, but I don't like how I am sometimes. I want to be always nice and saying correct helpful things. There's so much badness and hurt out there in the world. I just wish I could help even a bit, then I get carried away and say dumb things. I would hate to ever be the cause of hurt. Also, I just get sorta sucked in and want to have EVERYONE feel included, and want to post to all hurting folks, and I have to THINK B4 I post so its (hopefully) a reasonably useful and hopefully supportive post.....this all takes time. Then I fear that if I post to one person, and not another, they will be hurt I didn't post to their thread.
THEN I worry cuz I get peoples stuff mixed up, and can't remember wassup w/who, and I worry they will think its cuz they don't matter that I don't remember, but its NOT that, its just I got a bad memory, of COURSE they matter. Each and everyone of us here is important. EVERY ONE.
Sigh...
Babble angst and not enuf time.
Guess thats bout it.Sorry you asked!?!? LOL! Good for you for asking, sorry if I was rude.
LOL! I hope ALL of us here do find some peace in our lives!Phillipa, you too are very sweet. You seem to have had some ups and downs, but to me, it seems your posting has been more coherant and...??? calmer??? not sure of right words, but I am glad that you are here, and mostly? ok and helping babble.
OK Turtle, you bout blew me right outta the water with your post! Its so sweet and kind of you to do that, cuz I REALLY like to be able to help others and it fills my heart with joy( I KNOW that is a cliche line, but it fits) to know I have helped you.
Its WONDERFUL that you are able to speak up in T!!! And having some understanding esp w/DD's is HUGE, I am happy for you :-)
Babble can be a good place. There are good people here. Of course its a mental health board so of course I expect there will be 'moments'! But on the whole it seems to do OK.
Thank you again, I posted your post into my journal to keep forever :-) ;-)RSK. As you know, living w/DD is just pure confusion at times.
Its just me and my sensitivities, no worries.
I am doing OK with my new T. I am gradually warming up towards her. She is very intelligent and I quite like that. Hope your doing OK.Kath, you are such a sweetheart. Being a Mom myself I read of your struggles and my heart aches for you. You are a GREAT Mom.
I posted here because you said to!!! ;-)
You take good care, you got a tough row to hoe.(I am a farmer) I send you best wishes.So there you have it.
You guys are so kind.
I will proly peek in from time to time, and post a bit from time to time, but I goto try and get more done at home, I goto keep plugging away at therapy stuff.
I do post on another site that is more DD oriented, and at this time it is helpful for me to get some insight into what is a very confusing way to be.
I am well blessed in this life.
One of my blessings is the care of you guys and I am thankful for that.
Thank you, best wishes to all of you in your journey of life.

Hi Muffled,Glad to hear from you. I was hanging back on this thread feeling like I missed something, and there didn't seem there was much to add until I knew what it was about.
If I remember correctly you were the first person to welcome me on Babble when I first posted. I knew something about you from lurking and noticing the number of close friends you had made and their tone of appreciation and respect for you when you posted. You have a way of expressing yourself that is very endearing and often memorable. I remember comments you have made to my threads and others, where I really just had to smile and nod my head.
Babble does take a lot of time if you start posting a lot. Think about your close friends. Even if they love you and vice versa, there are stretches when they are just too busy to call or talk, maybe even email. But the friendships are just there, waiting for the time when you can be together again in less busy times. You can think of Babble the same way. Just don't step off-planet, OK?
NRN - no reply necessary.
Best, Lucie

Thanks so much for answering, Muffled.
It's important that you're finding what you need on the DD board. And I agree wholeheartedly that one can spend a lot of time here, thinking through responses, and writing (and rewriting) one's thoughts down. And there always is that quiet sense of guilt when you can't respond to everyone-- no matter that you're down yourself, or tired, or don't have time-- or energy to give what you'd want to give.
When I've read your posts-- those to others, and of course those to myself,, I feel better for having you here. I value your thoughts-- but simply the presence of someone with such a good heart--who speaks to the core of things-- makes us better. I've always felt that I encounter you in what you write to others. So often, I've been thankful that you wrote something which said so much better what I was trying to say. The presence of a good heart rallies everyone's spirits.
I'm glad you're getting used to your new T-- and beginning to appreciate her strengths and what she offers.
I hope you stop by when you can. I appreciate the privilege of getting to know you.
