Jeron, I envy you the luxury of choosing to be alone. like I envied the rich kids who mimicked the way i put together clothes because I was poor. I'm alone and don't want to be, didn't choose to be, TM isolates me. It seems you can walk, I can't. So i suffer beyond insult to injury-- the

Janet, I have to tell you that for so many years, and I've had TM for 12 years, so I cannot remember exactly how many, I honestly thought that I may just wake up one morning and it could be all gone. It was a very nice thought, but never happened. It really felt like I was living in a bad

Hi Jeron, Thanks for the further insight. Though you don't owe any of us an explanation, this does help us understand more. I have known of people who did push loved ones away and close up within themselves, and that's what I thought you were doing from your first note, thus my response. And I

Jeron, Good for you. This is a positive message. I think your first message had me concerned for your life, as in suicide. Leaving your wife and loved ones who were concerned for you. I'm so glad that I was wrong. Go for it. Do what YOU need to do to come to terms with TM. Keep us up to date
