I didn't turn to any of my old coping mechanisms. I didn't binge, or purge or starve. I didn't fantasize about suicide. I got out my damn DBT binder (which is now enormous). I meditated. I dragged myself to yoga. And I'm doing pretty ok.

At this point you had me in tears of utter happiness for you and the thought transfered to me for myself and how there is going to be a better time (still rough times but ones I will learn to cope through) in my life, no matter the length it takes to get to a better place it's really worth it.
There is so much hope and inspiration in this post, your words. Thank you for sharing and keep doing what you're doing, it sounds like it's really working for you and that just makes me smile. [emoji2]
Also, congratulations on all the hard work you've put in to get to where you are!
Take Care.
