8. It's good to read you're feeling...

somewhat right again.

If you find something that helps stay with it. Use the relationship you've built with your therapist to keep you 'steady'. Once you put it all out there it feels like a big part of the 'baggage' has been lifted. Just being able to talk about is huge. So glad your doing that for yourself.

The end of this month is another year added to one of the attacks. At first I dreaded this time of year, now I do something really fun on that day. I spend it with people that love me and support me. The week or so before I clean out closets drawers whatever...symbolic of throwing out old stuff. If makes me feel good, it's therapeutic for me. Sounds a bit strange I'm sure, but it works for me. I will also lose myself in a book that helps a lot too.

You will find all kinds of things that help you and hopefully everyday it'll get easier.

I wish you peace!

Happy New Year!

p.s. Enjoy your little one, they grow up so fast. My baby is graduating from college on Sunday. (happy & sad tears)
