Facing my demons

[rabbitsystem.livejournal.com]

As some of you know, I am very nervous about going home for the holidays. However I've packed, I've got a little bit of washing up to do and then that's it, I'm going to do it. My ticket is only valid for today, I can't back out now.
This is it.

Well-wishes and/or prayer would be much appreciated.

Edit: Thank you all for your support. I am now home, and doing much better than I feared. Ellen.

Others Disappearing Without Saying Goodbye

Hey. I'm posting this for someone who feels strange being around communities like this; hope that's not a problem.

She's had two others - one who was around for thirteen years, one for almost seven. Suddenly, they both disappeared without either of them telling her. The only major change in her lifestyle was getting a boyfriend, and even then they hung around for three months into the relationship. After that, they were just... poof. Gone.

She's seen one of them two times, but only to scold her; the other one she hasn't seen since. She's looking for suggestions to get them to talk to her, or anything along those lines.

(I also directed her to the memories, but I figure that new people in the community bring about new thoughts on the subject. Sorry for the repetition, as this general subject HAS been posted about a few times already.)
