I was better when I had my son to consider, and then I obtained a job that offered a lot of structure and professional social contact. Those were pretty good years.
Then I entered the empty nest stage and I feel like I've gone backwards. But the good thing is that I can afford the therapy I want and I have the luxury to be self-indulgent and work on myself. That said, I wish VERY much that I'd gone into therapy at a much younger age - I knew I wanted it even as a teen, but was convinced I did not deserve it because the way I was, was all my fault.
