Hello all. It's been a couple of weeks since I've been here. My last post was to lament my despair and discouragement with how things were progressing, or not. I thank all of you who responded and apologize for not acknowledging your responses before now. Please trust that every word was helpful, just to know that people care.

Since my last visit I have continued therapy, continued to try to work things out, continued and improved my openess and honesty with my wife. As a result of all of these things, I have had a string of maybe ten good days. I wanted to share that with all of you, especially those who are feeling desperate or like they're fighting a losing battle...the dark eventually does turn to light, at least temporarily, at least for now.

I see new members since my last visit but have opted not to read their posts, not now anyway. I need to keep myself bouyant and allow my existence to be light for a while more. Please don't misinterpret this as disinterest for I have a great deal of compassion and empathy for all here, especially those beginning their journey, know that the despair will ebb and flow. And let it, there is no map that has been drawn to show us the way out. We will each find our own way, but we will find it. Keep up the good fight everyone, each and every one of us deserve peace in our hearts and souls.

These are beautiful and generous words.

It is good to see you here again. Good to hear about your 10 days and grateful for the encouragement, especially today.

By all means do not read my posts today. I started in a very dark place today but the guys here have listened to my story and shared hopeful stories as you have.
 
thanks for the update, sinking. such good news offers hope. i do understand the need to stay shy of posts that can be too much. i try to respond where i can, but the men understand. take care, siinking.
 
Thanks for checking in and for giving great words of hope.
