Yes, I did get better. Yes, it took a long time. A combination of finding the right meds and therapy.
Learned why I was so self-defeating. Then learning the tools to cope.. that do help retrain that brain. Also, I had to stop worring about what others thought of me. I learned to live by MY BOOK of SHOULDS - not anyone else's.
It is always a work in progress... but I am much much better. I am more happy now then I ever was.
