This is an old post of mine, but with the New Kindreds on the Boards, I thought it might be helpful.

I am the Mistress of Repetition when I find something which I think works! So, as always, I trust my longtime sisters here on the boards will forgive me for giving once again, my description of the Emotional Rollercoaster we are on..
Not only are we on a rollercoater, but OMG~the seatbelt is broken, there is oil on the tracks, and it's starting to rain! So, you know what we do? We hang on for dear life! We are so glad that at least we aren't on the rollercoaster by ourself~ someone is sitting next to us, equally afraid, and we give each other "the look" hoping to gain courage from whoever is with us on the ride of our lives. We hold onto each other, scared but trying to be brave, though we sometimes give way to tears as we fly through the loops and turns, not knowing if we are going to get off of this ride alive.
But you know what? After what seems like an eternity the coaster has come to a complete stop, we find we are ALIVE! We are battered and bruised, and soo afraid of rollercoasters, but we get off of that ride and collapse in tears that we are SURVIVORS!!!
Every now and then, we are made aware that the carnival has come to town, and just seeing the rollercoaster makes us emotionally re-live the fear. But we also know that no matter what,we are not alone; we can take on the day and be victorious!
Hugs,
Chen♥
