Mar 2017

I was a member in the early DU days, * war days. I doubt I would have survived, without DU. I rarely posted, but read, learned, laughed & healed with DU.
Since Nov 8th, been dealing with the similar, overwhelming depression, knew it was time for DU Therapy again. That hack was hurtful..! to SO many.
After DU ~finally! ~ came back,
I tried to get back with my old username, emailed admins a few times, & no luck. Finally figured out it was a sign, time to start again, with a new handle.
