it's just an update, willowfox was right on. so far

[rosalind]

i updated on the thread "help, i'm a little afraid of this one...". I am new to this, and am quite blown away by my experience so far. I believe in it, clearly, or i wouldn't be here. But am still quite amazed at the experience. Sometimes it's literal, once asked what the outcome of an evening would be and got 32. The evening turned into a poker game that went on until 5am. that's endurance... But i am still blown away by this experience so far. I began as a sceptic and have had a couple of profound moments of recognition.

I have spent so much time here reading when i should be working, and have been inspired and moved.
I have received so much from being here, reading old threads and the "memorizing the hexagrams" threads and don't have a clue who any of you are. that in and of itself has been a great help during the most emotionally turbulent time of my life. I have read poems, life experience, humor, and wisdom that have felt like words spoken from a friend.

thank you for sharing your insight and experience.

Rosalind, I'm glad you've found insight and help online. In difficult times it can be so important to have people who care about you. Isolation makes almost any other problem worse. Do you have an emotional support system with people that can encourage you in your everyday life?

[rosalind]

Yes, i do have an amazing support system in my life. i just wanted to comment on the fact that there are many wonderful insights here on this forum.
