2015 was a definite learning experience. My daughter graduated high school and took a job to start paying for her stuff and go to college. We ended up taking in her boyfriend after a domestic violence situation with his parents. It seems to be working well and he also has a job, but the car he bought is broken and may need serious repairs. My husband got his VA disability approved and I refinanced the house, but it seems like the money we make gets spent on fixing things and maintenance so that is a wash. I had two hospitalizations in the spring and two ER visits in the fall, but I'm now feeling better and working on loving myself.

My goal for 2016 is breaking through some of the fears that have held me back. I'm good with the activities of daily living, but I want to move on beyond that. It may mean a change in therapists, as my current one is good about talking about feelings but not with accountability and assigning homework. I'm going to talk more about it with my pdoc next week. I also need to work on my physical health as that has taken a major hit this years with a major change in medication. If I can stay stable this year and not go to the hospital that would be a plus.
