I just wanted to add Rose that my therapist battles depression and he has to be on medication. I wasn't sure what to think about that but I gave it a shot and one thing I have come to know is that he does understand struggle and what it means.

It was a big contrast to a psychiatrist that treated me who actually also listened to me psychologically (not like most who just prescibe) and that psychiatrist did not really understand me from a perspective of actually knowing the real struggle. There is a big difference. One thing I really like knowing is that my therapist has not only studied psychology and all that it intails, but he lived it too and in that has the ability to go the further distance, just like you did in your support posts Rose.

Even now, you fell back and got frightened and figured out the medication and you are getting back on track, well that is another positive that you can add to a big bag of not only intelligent advice from your education but real advice you have learned by experience.

All experiences that we find ways to work through have value.
