Well it is a very long time since I was here and they have changed things so I am a little lost. I am now running two studies - one is a quantitative one and for that I need around 400 participants. It involves responding to a package of questionnaires that look at general psychological health, interpersonal problems, trauma, attitudes to the exclusive brethren, and of course one about you! It takes a while to complete but if you would like to take part and you are someone who has left the EB please go to www.peebs.net and click on the green banner near the top!! The other one is the qualitative one I have been trying to complete for years! My mother's long period of ill health definitely hindered this and even now i am still exhausted so progress is slow. I am finding this hard. I intend coming here more frequently now and use this space to reflect on my progress and on my thoughts and feelings about doing all of this. Right now this is just a start and it feels very strange to be here because I don't know who is listening!! see you again soon!
