You've done paranormal investigation and know that homes soak up the atmosphere that was built into them. You built your dream house and imbibed it with love, caring, joy, happiness, good friends ... it wasn't just a house.<br /><br />Secondly, even though you'd lived in California before, it was picking up and moving and disrupting your entire life, whether you do it because you want to or because you have to, it is a huge upheaval in your life.<br /><br />I know all this because I went through it, too. We moved from Minnesota to Illinois, something I thought would be the best move in our lives. I left behind a townhouse I loved, family, friends, you name it. I felt disconnected and lost. I never realized how much of my job was wrapped up in being me until it wasn't there anymore. Anyway, just wanted to sympathize with your ordeal and let you know that many, MANY people go through it.<br /><br />You are one brave and amazing woman, Dana, and coming out from what you've gone through ultimately makes you a stronger person with much more insight into your life and the life of others who may be going through the same things.<br /><br />My hubby "came out" and admitted his depression a few years ago. It surprised him how many people understood and had similar stories. We all go through our own stories of depression, but understand it in others when we see it.<br /><br />Ultimately, if you don't have things that affect you so emotionally, you're right, you're not "real." And when we realize we are, it hits us SO hard.<br /><br />Be kind to yourself as you find your feet again. Your fans and friends will hang in with you and you'll be surprised how many understand.<br /><br />Love your writing but I also care about YOU. I'm hoping someday we can meet. But your real fans and friends will hang with you through thick and thin! Hang in there and kudos for being so brave as to write this.<br /><br />Love ya, girl!The Normal and the Paranormalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15004180989706062822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8537127076075328.post-21774518539617633702013-12-26T20:57:53.225-07:002013-12-26T20:57:53.225-07:00Dana, I just want to say how very brave you are fo...Dana, I just want to say how very brave you are for allowing us to read what is such a personal journey. I, myself, had a severely traumatic and extremely stressful time in my life in 2011 (and have PTSD from) and can truly say that although I do not understand your personal struggle; I do know what struggle is like. If there's anything, ever, I can do to help; I'm here for you. Sometimes even the strong need someone to lean on. Much love.
