The war's not over for me till the hostages are released.
I'm with Gary on this one.
Who would tell 9/11 survivors to just get over it?

There is no magic formula for dealing with a traumatic experience, each individual has to find their own way to handle the trauma and move on.
In some ways it was easier for me to move on after 9/11 because I still worked in the area and lived nearby. I had to figure out a way to move on and function the way I functioned before - I had no choice.
Whe I left the Borg, I moved out of the area, cut off all relationships with anyone connected with the Borg, and I refused to acknowledge any memory of my dub past.
Since I didn't face down my past and express my feeling to those I blamed for my enslavement (including myself), I really didn't move on, I just covered it up.
Only in the last few years, after sharing my experiences with other, especially ex dubs like you guys, can I now say that I am almost over it.
If I had handled my escape for the Borg the way I handled 9/11 - face on, I would be a lot further along by now.
