Im glad you found this site. It can be very helpful and reassuring to know you arent alone in this. Recovery can be a long process. Hope you are feeling pretty good by now.
Im also in PA, Im north of you in Allentown. There are a bunch of us from this general area. In fact Saturday there is a walk in Andover NJ and another OC walk in Bethlehem the following Sat. If you have the time it is really wonderful to meet other survivors.
Best of luck next month.
