Terri: I think one of the best things about this forum is to be able to learn from others who are also facing difficult issues. I've had the "Oh, I'm not the only one!" experience many times since I joined. For me, for example, the discussions of insomnia and stress have really helped. Now, when I see stress coming my way, I head the other direction. I've felt much better since I actively started controlling or avoiding stressors in my life.
