Feeling Better 😊 There is hope!

I entered this forum in May 2021 feeling extremely depressed and anxious. Now we are August 2021. I have worked super hard in therapy, my 12 step programs, journaling, exposing myself to anxious situations in order to increase my tolerance, reaching out to friends a d family on the phone, etc, and I am doing much better! I am learning that it’s okay to feel all the feelings and not to panic when challenging emotions arise. Therapy has helped a ton to process and integrate my past traumas (which I didn’t recognize at first as trauma) to help make these challenging times of raising a three year old among all these global crises a little less overwhelming. Don’t give up! There is hope 😊

Great to hear that Greenhills. It is so hard to see the light at the end o the tunnel when you are in the middle of the tunnel.

Wonderful to be given hope, thank you and so pleased for you.
