In reading all of your posts, it really is personal since we all have such different struggles and challenges in our lives. For me, at the age of 51, I looked at my my future and my past and was determined to face what I needed to. Perhaps living through so much of my life depressed, I didn't want that for the rest of my life. I don't know if I am "cured", but I faced a lot of pain, someone finally listened to me (no matter how irrational I sounded), I learned tools and feel that I have a hopeful future, because I have choices that I never believed I had before. It has taken 4 years, but my life and your life is worth it.
