Therapy has been very helpful for me over the years. I'm in a much different and better place in my life finally than when I started this process. It was a long road for me, and it wasn't a road in a direct line toward improvement; it tended to meander and take u-turns and detours along the way. But for the most part, I think I truly reached my destination. I suspect I will always deal on and off with the symptoms of depression and bipolar disorder as they crop up for me; no therapy can completely wipe out those issues for me. But I am MUCH more equipped to handle those issues proactively, healthily, and effectively now than I was before I entered this therapy process. I have gained a level of mental health and stability that eluded me for many years.
