Thank you, slim! Great, validating article and it looks like the website has more - I'll read more of the articles later. Thanks again!  :hug:

Thank you for sharing that link. I definitely saw myself there.  There are some excellent links there too, I will be checking some of them out too.

Thanks again.

Thanks from me, as well, Slim. The way the article paints it as "excruciating, almost physical, pain" is spot on. It can feel so close to physical pain that it's hard to describe; the only answer is that it hurts, but where? Knowing that there's a biological and even evolutionary explanation behind this phenomenon is somehow soothing.

Resca, you explained it spot on. I've always felt that emotional pain is worse than physical pain, in many ways.

Thank you Slim for the article!
