Jane - I totally understand when you talk about being able to cry for someone else. For me before the program no one really existed outside my world. I could not feel happy or sad for someone because to me they really did not exist and therefore did not have emotions. Well since the program that has all changed. I can cry for others and feel happy for others and realize that others have lives just like I do.

I remember sitting on the couch reading the forum one day and my Dear RR friend Erin, who I have gotten to know and love even though she is on the other side of the world, had a break through. As I was reading her post. I was crying because I was so happy but I was also screaming for joy at the top of my lungs with my fists in the air. I almost got up and danced I was soooo happy for her. It felt good to feel for someone else. It also felt good to just let it out. I am the type of person who can get embarrassed by clapping in my own home - with no one else around. So to have that reaction to someone else and feel fine about it was wonderful.
